Division: Permanent, Men's and Women's Colognes, Fragrances, Eau de Toilette, etc.
Size of Run: 3,840
Objective: A gravity-feed device helps distinguish this product from other on-counter pieces. The design of the unit mirrors the packaging of the product and a tester bottle on the side of the display creates an "open-sell" atmosphere to encourage consumer interaction.

Client: Procter & Gamble Co., Cincinnati
Producer: IDMD Manufacturing Inc., Scarborough, Ont.
Marketing Objective: An eye-catching display was created using the theme of three bundled Marathon lipsticks. The display reproduces the black and gold packaging of the Marathon Lipcolor, at 14 times its size. A strong tie-in between the header card and display was achieved using a continuing graphic of the Marathon packaging. The top portion can be used alone as a countertop unit or with the base barrels for a freestanding unit.

Client: Lancome Inc., New York
Producer: IDMD Manufacturing Inc., Scarborough, Ont.
Marketing Objective: The display had to highlight the new "Primordiale Nuit" cream as well as promote the existing product line. To build on the previous tester's character, a three-dimensional circular theme was adapted for the new display. There was 100 percent placement throughout the country of all units produced.

Client: Procter & Gamble Co., Cincinnati
Producer: IDMD Manufacturing Inc., Scarborough, Ont.
Marketing Objective: Using the "Iced Creams" theme, a display was created to simulate three ice cream flavors or shade areas. Custom color matching was used to define the three flavors. The ice cream tops are held together by a base that simulates the texture and color of a regular ice cream cone. The new shades are showcased on their individual ice cream tops. Of all the displays produced, 100 percent were distributed throughout drugstores nationally.
