By developing a small footprint display that could be easier adapted for either product range, Retailers could use it as a draw card for the seasonal favourite.The fun look of the display had to give permissibility to take Cadbury Bars & the Natural Jellies out of its traditional home in the snack shelf aisle, and additionally position them at the front of the store, by the counter or at the end of the aisle.

Entry Category: 2 - Convenience/Route Stores

The key initiative in the development of this brief was to create an innovative semi-permanent point of sale display to launch the 'Cookies and Cream' Kit Kat chunky bar range into the confectionery market.

It was from this discipline that the initiative of the 'ceiling' POS was developed. The market objectives include: Create a semi-permanent in-store point of sale piece which attracts new customers and simulates growth of Kit Kat chunky market sales within the confectionery market The POS unit is to be distributed in convenience and route stores.

Entry Title: Tic Tac Impact Counter Unit

Entry Category: 2 - Convenience/Route Stores

Entry Division: Permanent

Entrant Company Name: id8 Studio Pty Ltd

Research has shown Tic Tac has total brand awareness of 99% and has the highest brand consideration at 63% and appeals to a broad target market of old and young alike. This indicated that Tic Tac could take advantage of superior brand equity and heritage that the other brands lacked.The Impact Counter was designed as part of Project Refresh which saw many Tic Tac displays re-engineered with the objective of driving distribution & visibility in store to ultimately drive sales. The Impact Counter unit was essential for driving visibility in the Route & Convenience channels. The objective for this display was to get distribution in the impulse channel (this unit can be prepacked) and then gain permanent counter space for Tic Tac. As we all know, counter space is limited & is very competitive with almost every category wanting space there. Therefore the objective was to have a small footprint, enable flexibility of stock weight & carry the entire Tic Tac single pack and Big Box range. Along with this it was important to have a unit which was flexible enough to accommodate new product innovation.
