Producer: Thomson-Leeds Company Inc., New York
The idea behind this display was to create a "spoof": instead of simply buying a new Olympus I Zoom Waterproof Camera, a consumer can now "do it yourself" and waterproof an old camera using the pre-cut sheets of plastic wrap from the display. An Olympus 3-D logo that is molded onto the front of the dispenser provides strong brand identification.

The goal was to showcase MSN as the easiest way to take advantage of the Web. The kiosk also had to be flexible enough to house various products for cross-sell opportunities. Multiple graphic panels allow for colorful and engaging messaging that can easily be changed out for updates and promotions. The use of mixed materials made it durable.

Retailers' desire for smaller, standard packages and more efficient displays is leading suppliers to consider new formats, interactive displays and other options.

Client: The Learning Co., Cambridge, Mass.
Products Promoted: Spanish, German and French educational computer software
Marketing Strategy: Each Spanish, German and French software box on the retail shelf was assembled featuring a custom audio message on a brochure module. When the customer opens the front graphic panel on each box, a message activates the greeting (in that particular language) and educates the individual about the software's contents and features.
