Our Collaborative Design Process
Our creative team works closely with you to develop retail display and point-of-purchase promotion concepts that reflect your marketing goals and give you a competitive edge. We then combine your ideas with our engineering expertise to manufacture visual merchandising solutions that enhance your brand and drive product sales.
Our Product Engineering Expertise
Exceptional design is crucial for any successful retail display program. Fortunately, Sandy, Inc. boasts an expert team of in-house design engineers with extensive experience in the POP industry. We are passionate about transforming customer visions into cost-effective custom retail displays that highlight the product beautifully.
Utilizing Cutting-Edge Tools and Techniques
Our team utilizes the latest industry tools, including Autodesk 3ds Max for rendering, Autodesk Inventor for engineering, and Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator for design and illustration. These advanced technologies enable us to create detailed, accurate designs that meet our clients’ specific needs.
Product Engineering with Packaging and Assembly in Mind
An often-overlooked component of a successful retail display program is ensuring the units ship without damage and assemble easily. Our team pays special attention to designing custom visual merchandising solutions to be assembled within 30 minutes, creating easy-to-follow retail display assembly instructions, and developing cartons and inner packaging that keep your units safe during transit.
What to Expect
Our design and engineering team will produce two and three-dimensional drawings using AutoCAD and Inventor. These full-color renders are sent to you for input and necessary revisions. Upon concept approval, our engineers convert the visual merchandising solution designs into engineering drawings. The displays are then value-engineered, incorporating the best materials while ensuring optimal functionality and ease of assembly.
Once the concept is approved and value-engineered, we produce a prototype for you to evaluate. This allows for final modifications before the production run begins.
Shipping and Assembly Expectations
We ship over 90% of our visual merchandising solutions unassembled and knocked down flat to save on freight costs. These displays and fixtures are designed for easy assembly using the Mod-Eez post-and-hook system, complemented by easy-to-read retail display assembly instructions.
Efficient Retail Display Program Delivery
A typical custom display project lifecycle from the initial concept to the shipment of the production run averages around six months. However, the decision-making situations throughout the entire process often extend this timeline. For example, the work for your envisioned visual merchandising solution should ideally start no later than December if you want a new retail display program rolled out in June.
Luckily, Sandy, Inc. is proficient at rolling out successful retail display programs in under 90 days. This expedited timeline is possible since we design renders, provide pricing proposals, engineer the visual merchandising solution, perform prototyping, and manufacture the needed number of displays back to back. We also strive to secure customer approvals quickly through each project stage.
The Role of Instructions in a Successful Retail Display Program
Knocked-down displays offer significant freight savings compared to pre-assembled units. However, they require assembly instructions. Well-written, easy-to-follow retail display assembly instructions are critical for a smooth retail display program rollout.
The Sandy, Inc. Way
We try to put the knocked-down display together before drafting the retail display assembly instructions. This ensures we strike the perfect balance between instruction simplicity and assembly efficiency. We then produce three-dimensional illustrated instructions to enhance the understanding of how the parts go together. Sometimes, retail display parts are redesigned to make assembly easier.
Simplified Assembly with a Snap-Lock System
You don’t need to be an expert to assemble a Sandy, Inc. visual merchandising solution. We utilize a snap-lock system with posts and clips to simplify the assembly process significantly and minimize the hardware needed. Because of this, most of our products can be assembled in less than 30 minutes, with many taking only 15 minutes. We also offer a toll-free contact number for custom support if clients encounter any issues.
