In the realm of maritime luxury, the quest to offer yacht charter guests the perfect night's sleep has become an art form, one which luxury bed and linen supplier, CC Design, has fully committed to.
Contrary to current marine electronics in store offerings, which traditionally consist of simple free standing display units, pod or point of sale installations, the tri-brand ‘Shop-in-shop’ provides a complete experience for customers looking to purchase marine electronics.
Thanks to the new shop-in-shop installations, customers can experience the look, feel and use of a product for the first time, without having to leave the store or set foot on the water. The installations will be similar to those found at major boat shows, with live equipment offering a range of demonstrations and simulations. Customers will be able to enter data, select options and explore the full range of functionality, as well as appreciate firsthand the quality and clarity of the displays.
President and chief executive officer of Navico, Leif Ottosson said: “Across Europe, consumers have already experienced the shop-in-shop concept. Whether purchasing clothing or furniture for the house, we are all used to entering a store and exploring products by brand and concession.
“Until now, the marine industry has not adopted this practice, only providing retailers with display equipment. Our research showed that retailers wanted a better way for their customers to connect with electronics, so we introduced shop-in-shop to provide a unique way of exploring products in store.”
The shop-in-shop is funded as a joint venture between Navico and their retailers, there are currently approximately 18 modules installed throughout Europe, with a further 50 stores lined up for fit out in the coming months. The Navico shop-in-shop sets itself apart from existing marine in store displays, having been designed by European retail specialists Alrec in conjunction with the Navico teams and retailers.
Alrec, who create in-store experiences globally for companies such as HP, Sony and Diesel clothing, worked with Navico’s marketing experts to create in-store solutions that would fit exactly with the needs of both the marine consumer and marine stores.
