A multi-sport specialist store has recently employed Hardy Signs’ touch-screen technology to further enhance the shopping experience in their store in Reigate, Surrey.

Simply Sports is a member of Intersport, the largest sports retailer in the World, and they aim to give you the very best products, service and value. In store, customers are able to browse clothing and equipment from a wide range of sports but with an ever expanding catalogue of products Managing Director, Adrian Pointer, sought out a solution that would allow customers to browse the range in it’s entirety – on the store’s dedicated website www.simplysports.co.uk  

“We discovered Hardy Signs on a visit to the Excel Centre in London at which they were exhibiting” explained Adrian. “As luck would have it, they were showcasing the exact solution that I’d had in mind for some time. Following a brief initial chat, it was clear that the Hardy Signs team understood my vision and how best to implement it within our store.”

Award winning signage firm Hardy Signs, based in Burton on Trent, design, manufacture and install projects across the UK and offer a full portfolio of digital signage and interactive touch screens to compliment the core products and services.

Following a site survey, an initial concept was drawn up by Hardy Signs to incorporate an illuminated fabric backdrop display which would highlight the new touch screen kiosk located just in front. The kiosk itself consists of a fully enclosed 42” multi-touch point display mounted on a custom branded base to complete the unit. To ensure the user’s browsing experience is succinct – Hardy Signs’ software creates a customised interface and restricts access to only the chosen website content. The installation team was able to minimise disruption to the running of the store which is key in a retail environment such as this.

“Our customers use the website to research and learn about the products that we are proud to stock” continued Adrian. “Above all we want them to enjoy sport and we will do anything we can do to help them achieve this. Hardy Signs has allowed us to bring the latest technology to our customers whilst ensuring it is easy to understand and operate”.

“The new touch screen kiosk and backdrop create a real impact to this store” concluded Adam Bates, Marketing Manager at Hardy Signs. “The project illustrates how both traditional signage and digital signage solutions can combine to create a valuable addition to any retail space. We look forward to hearing how the customers are enjoying using the technology”.

Digital signage forms one of the fastest growing marketing tools in the world today and with the expertise offered by Hardy Signs, organisations from all sectors can benefit from the solutions available. Delivering a complete package is key to the firm’s success – including design, manufacture, installation plus content creation and management. Visit www.hardysigns.co.uk to discover more.
