iDesign Group has been recognized by Retail Business Review Magazine as the exclusive recipient of “Top 10 Retail Merchandising Solutions Companies in APAC - 2023,” based on our proprietary methodology, reflecting its position in the industry. This profile has been developed by the Retail Business Review research and editorial team based on insights from an interview with Jayben Vanos, General Manager (International).
Jayben Vanos, General Manager (International)Thomas Watson Jr.—the father of IBM—once said, ‘Great design will not sell an inferior product, but it will enable a great product to achieve its maximum potential.’
This adage, although rooted in product development, often finds its echo in the modern design sphere, where aesthetics must integrate with functionality to make the design more engaging.
iDesign Group stands out as an embodiment of this principle. The boutique POS display design agency is committed to crafting designs that are not just visually captivating but also inherently functional, interactive, and informative.
It has made the company a paradigm-shifter in a market saturated with design agencies prioritizing form over function.
“Our designs serve as unobtrusive showcases, letting the product be the star of the consumer experience,” says Jayben Vanos, general manager (international), iDesign Group.
The same ethos extends to iDesign Group’s client relationships. Far from transactional engagements, the company invests in long-term partnerships rooted in attentiveness and relevance. It leverages decades of market experience to provide value tailored to the client journey, regardless of their position in the brand or product lifecycle.
Further solidifying its market standing, the boutique POS display design company deploys a global operational model to amplify its impact. It harnesses collective insights, fosters international relationships, and shares learnings globally, aiming to deliver a consistent service experience to clients across diverse geographic regions— including the APAC, the North and South Americas, and Europe.
The company’s client portfolio is both diverse and specialized, encompassing sectors such as consumer electronics, health and beauty, and cosmetics, with a comprehensive service offering across various product categories within these segments. Its esteemed client roster includes well-known brands like Dyson, Taylor Made, Kitchen Aid, and Revlon.
The expertise isn’t just confined to established names; it also extends to nurturing emerging brands. It collaborates closely with these businesses to construct holistic brand identities. Starting with essential elements, such as style guides for logos and color schemes, the company guides them through the complex landscape of in-store aesthetics and material selection, ensuring a cohesive brand identity across various countries.
In recent times, a growing trend has emerged among businesses aiming to unify their brand identity under a single design umbrella. In this push toward uniformity, iDesign Group takes on an increasingly important role as a primary design partner for multiple global markets.
We specialize in creating semi-permanent and permanent displays that say ‘look at this’ over ‘look at me.’ This design strategy positions the product as the star of the consumer experience
While keenly focused on cost efficiency, it does not compromise on employing cutting-edge technologies like virtual reality (VR) to enhance user experience. For example, before fabricating a physical display for renowned beauty brand, Elizabeth Arden, the company generated 3D CAD designs accessible through VR platforms. This allowed the client to virtually navigate displays, review multimedia displays, and test the products on the shelf. Such an immersive preview served a dual purpose. It supported instore design decisions and eliminated the expense of creating multiple physical prototypes.
In another notable case study, iDesign Group collaborated with Revlon to engineer a 48-drawer smart system, designed for stocking and testing their beauty product range. Built on heavy-duty runners for effortless extension and retraction, the drawers can seamlessly integrate into wall bays or stand-alone gondolas. Complementary elements, employing a consistent design code, were added, and LED downlighting was used to accentuate product testers on the lower shelves. Its modular construction facilitated straightforward assembly, minimizing installation time and retail disruption. The new display system increased sales and amplified Revlon’s in-store prominence.
Success stories like this indicate how brands not just modify their displays but gain insights from them for inventory optimization and financial planning. Its endto- end strategy does more than deliver insightful ROI analytics; it empowers clients to make data-driven decisions for their promotional campaigns.
In this manner, iDesign Group leverages design as a strategic asset to ensure brands maximize their market value.
