This is a direct point of sale promoting ‘Tony Ferguson’ which
is a company selling products to allow you to loose weight
easily. I do not think this is a good direct point of sale as it
does not promote what the products do very well. The text on
the side of the cardboard container can not be read and the
product isn’t stacked neatly. It does have some good
feautures such as a substantial amount of space and the
companys name is placed in large letters across the top at eye
level, which makes it easier and more appealing to the
customer.                                                          Next

This is a direct point of sale advertising the
company Hovis. Hovis is a big brand company
which sells different varieties of bread. I feel this
is a good direct point of display as it stands out. It
stands out by using big bold vibrant colors such as
yellow. It also advertises the latest offer the
company is selling in big bold writing, covering all
angles of sight for the customer. The bread is set
out neatly on each one and the company's logo is
easily visible. I feel this would attract/catch the
eye of any customer despite their age.




 My last and final point of display is a very well recognised one.
 Walls ice cream is one of the largest ice cream manufactures across
 the country and is well known for selling certain varieties of ice
 creams and ice lollies. This type of storage display is good because
 it meets the aims of the ice cream by keeping them cool and frozen
 but also advertises its company on the sides and top, making it
 easily visible for the customer. This type of point of display can be
 found in many different places such as supermarkets, off licences
 and news agents.

This is a very good direct point of
sale as it contain many features
that would appeal to the target
audience. One of the good selling
points it has is its color. It uses
bright color to attract its target
market and draw them to their
products. It also has an interactive
side, where the customer can try
out the pen/pencil before they buy
the product. The direct point of
sale separates the products neatly
and makes it look well
representable.

                                              products, owned by the British/Dutch
                                              company Unilever. I feel this brand is
                                              targeting the young males/ teenagers due
                                              to the advertising and packaging of the

Although Lynx’s lead product
is the fragranced aerosol
deodorant body spray, other
formats of the brand exist.

following are available:

Lynx was launched in France in 1983 by Unilever. It was inspired by another of Unilever's brands, Impulse.

Unilever were keen to capitalize on Lynx’s French success and the rest of Europe from 1985 onwards, later introducing the other
products in the range. Unilever were unable to use the name Axe in the United Kingdom and Ireland due to trademark problems so
it was launched as Lynx.

The European launch of the deodorant was followed by success in Latin America and moderate impact in Asia and Africa. In the new
millennium, the brand has launched with great success in the United States and Canada. The company has also widened its portfolio
by overlapping male deodorants into the Lynx brand such as South Africa's Ego brand.
Unilever has now launched its first Lynx product for women in the United Kingdom as part of a global expansion of the previously
men’s-only brand.

Environment
When we are looking at the environment we need to look at
the position of the point of sale in the shop and its surroundings.

Have the brand name clearly displayed on the unit
It is logical to have the product on display, so people can see it
To have it positioned where there is a large footfall
Located near other fragrances
Clear what the product does
To have the products at eye line
Products near the till because they’re already spending money
Have the unit relative in size to the product
To have small samples so consumers can test it

Illogical
For the price to be displayed
Show all products, full focus on one
To be dishonest to the consumer so they have full trust in you
For the unit to look cheap when displaying an expensive product
To sell in non-related stores as you wouldn’t have many sales
To put the point of sale unit in a place of the shop where it is not visible to the passing customers

Need
The product on show so the customers know what they’re purchasing
The unit must stand on its own without any support so it should be freestanding
It needs to be safe to handle when customers want to test it
To inform the customers about what it does if it is a new brand
Accessible to the customer with ease otherwise if it is in a box they probably wont be bothered to ask someone about it
To be easy to use and simple

Keep-
I am going to keep the social media part of it so that it is fun and interactive
I am going to keep the product on display and where there is a heavy footfall because more people will go past it
I am going to keep the theme of the brand with its old heritage look so that customers get a feel for the brand

Scrap
I am going to scrap the demo manikin as I think it cheapens the effect of the unit
I may scrap the barber chair theme as this would be to cost expensive and would be difficult to get hold of

Function vs. Form
The form of the unit so the aesthetics should be more effective than the function as more people will go past it rather than go up to it and test it
The function should be efficient, honest and reflect what the brand does for the customer

X-Factor
The X factor of the unit will be its interactive screen with fun videos about the brand and it will have links to the social media trends and websites
                                                                                                                                                         Home

Older teenagers/young males use
Lynx products because they are
attracted to the branding and

company Lynx advertises young men

Environmental Snapshot
                         I would place my direct point of
                         sale in a shop like this as it fits the
                         genre of the shop and would be
                         surrounded by products of the
                         same calibre. I would place my
                         direct point of sale in the fragrance
                         area. By doing this means it makes
                         it easier for the customer, allowing
                         the customer to know where our
                         products our stored in the shop. I
                         would also pay extra to have my
                         product placed at eye level. I feel
                         this is a vital element of distributing
                         our product making it more
                         accessible and eye catching towards
                         potential customers. Stores such as
                         Boot and Super Drugs are perfect
                         for my product because they are
                         leading cosmetic stores which sell
                         similar products to mine. I would
                         like to place my direct point of sale
                         in the men's aftershave area, as I
                         feel it would best suit the
                         environment and can be marketed
                         against other brands.

  Brand Analysis
  The brand analysis helped me out a lot as it gave me a wide perspective of
  all the other brands and competitors. Through my brand analysis I learnt
  all the different popularities of different styles of company's and also the
  expenses of the company (average price per product). This then gave me
  the best perspective on how popular and expensive my brand is and how I
  should market and present my direct point of sale.

Usability: I wanted to create a
direct point of sale which was very
interactive. This can be done in
various different ways through the
use of the internet and social
networking sites. One way which
this can be done is a bar code
scanner. From my research over

own smart phones. This then
allows me to place a bar code
scanner onto my direct point of
sale which my potential customer
will then be able to scan with their
phone, with them receiving free
information abut the brand and
the company. I feel this is a very
good idea to use as the cost is
very cheap and gives the
customer something to remind
them about the company, attract
them towards the Lynx brand. The
disadvantage of using this is the
technical side which could
interfere with the aesthetics of the
display. This means that some bar
code could find it hard to be
printed onto the material used,
which will make the code unscan
able.

  • 2. This is a direct point of sale promoting ‘Tony Ferguson’ which is a company selling products to allow you to loose weight easily. I do not think this is a good direct point of sale as it does not promote what the products do very well. The text on the side of the cardboard container can not be read and the product isn’t stacked neatly. It does have some good feautures such as a substantial amount of space and the companys name is placed in large letters across the top at eye level, which makes it easier and more appealing to the customer. Next
  • 4. This is a direct point of sale advertising the company Hovis. Hovis is a big brand company which sells different varieties of bread. I feel this is a good direct point of display as it stands out. It stands out by using big bold vibrant colors such as yellow.

The bread is set out neatly on each one and the company's logo is easily visible. I feel this would attract/catch the eye of any customer despite their age. My last and final point of display is a very well recognised one. Walls ice cream is one of the largest ice cream manufactures across the country and is well known for selling certain varieties of ice creams and ice lollies. This type of storage display is good because it meets the aims of the ice cream by keeping them cool and frozen but also advertises its company on the sides and top, making it easily visible for the customer. This type of point of display can be found in many different places such as supermarkets, off licences and news agents. Home

  • 8. Lynx is a brand selling male grooming products, owned by the British/Dutch company Unilever. I feel this brand is targeting the young males/ teenagers due to the advertising and packaging of the product. Although Lynx’s lead product is the fragranced aerosol deodorant body spray, other formats of the brand exist. Within underarm care the following are available: deodorant aerosol body spray, deodorant stick, deodorant roll-on, anti- perspirant aerosol spray (called Lynx Dry), and anti- perspirant stick (also called Lynx Dry). Lynx was launched in France in 1983 by Unilever. It was inspired by another of Unilever's brands, Impulse. Unilever were keen to capitalize on Lynx’s French success and the rest of Europe from 1985 onwards, later introducing the other products in the range. Unilever were unable to use the name Axe in the United Kingdom and Ireland due to trademark problems so it was launched as Lynx. The European launch of the deodorant was followed by success in Latin America and moderate impact in Asia and Africa. In the new millennium, the brand has launched with great success in the United States and Canada. The company has also widened its portfolio by overlapping male deodorants into the Lynx brand such as South Africa's Ego brand. Unilever has now launched its first Lynx product for women in the United Kingdom as part of a global expansion of the previously men’s-only brand. Next

  • 15. Customer Profiling Lynx aims its products at the older teenagers/young male market. We know this from the packaging of the product, which uses bright primary colours, and the cost of the products, making it easier and more affordable for the customer. Lynx is a brand selling male grooming products, owned by the British/Dutch company Unilever. I myself would personally use Lynx as I feel it is affordable and does what it needs. Lynx stands out to me as it uses bright vibrant colours on dark back grounds, making it jump out of the shelf. Older teenagers/young males use Lynx products because they are attracted to the branding and advertising of the product. The company Lynx advertises young men usually a little older than the age group wearing the product, allowing them to attract various girls due to the product. This the automatically appeals to the target customer, inspiring them to be the males presented on the advert . My stereotypical customer for my product would be a sports player. He/she would use Lynx before and after matches to destroy odour from things such as sweat and mud. My customer still attends school in the higher years and likes to go out of a weekend with friends to various places. My customer likes to constantly smell good wherever he or she goes. At school my customer studies The main selling point towards the older teenage age range is the advertising physical education, media and of the product. TV adverts which represent the brand always show a young English. My stereotypical male aged 21-25 attracting the opposite sex easily. When older teenagers customer who buys the product view this advert, they are automatically drawn towards the brand, aspiring to on a regular basis, comes from a be the young males represented on the advert.

  • 36. Usability: I wanted to create a direct point of sale which was very interactive. This can be done in various different ways through the use of the internet and social networking sites. One way which this can be done is a bar code scanner. From my research over half of the population living and working in and around London own smart phones. This then allows me to place a bar code scanner onto my direct point of sale which my potential customer will then be able to scan with their phone, with them receiving free information abut the brand and the company. I feel this is a very good idea to use as the cost is very cheap and gives the customer something to remind them about the company, attract them towards the Lynx brand. The disadvantage of using this is the technical side which could interfere with the aesthetics of the display. This means that some bar code could find it hard to be printed onto the material used, which will make the code unscan able.
