A Retail Display for RetailX
We exhibited a dinosaur themed booth for ExhibitorLive, but for Global Shop (AKA RetailX) we needed to mix it up. Even though our first T-Rex head was used for a retail setting, most retailers don’t sell dinosaurs. A more obvious retail prop would be needed.
The Shoe-in
We thought about 3D sculpted shelving with a prehistoric theme, but after some discussion we decided to split the booth. Half would be the experiential dinosaur booth, half would be a retail setting with a giant shoe prop. Both would try to thrust attendees into an immersive environment.
Giant props are perfect for retail settings because they take customers off guard. Whenever you can get a customer to stop thinking and worrying you have a chance to get them to buy.
The dinosaur is an extreme example of that with a giant 3D shoe being more relatable. It would also show off some of our most sought after project traits:
- Smooth Surfaces
- Complex Shapes
- Product Enlargements
It was still challenging, the undercuts required for the toe meant our team spent time hand sculpting after the CNC 4 Axis router had done its thing. However, to turn a block of foam into a giant red stiletto heel took just over a week. You can see the quality for yourself!
