Point of Purchase Display & Retail Display Solutions

Point of Purchase Displays amplify your brand and drive customer engagement.

Point-of-purchase displays are useful marketing tools used in retail and commercial environments to influence customer behaviour and encourage a purchase decision.

Point of Purchase displays are strategically positioned in high-traffic areas: near the areas where the customer is close to making a final transaction, at the end of shopping aisles or in prominent areas within a store. Targeting customers in these spaces allows retailers to capture customers’ attention at critical decision-making moments, increasing the likelihood of impulse or add-on purchases.

How can Ripple help with Retail Display Solutions?

1. Understanding Your Brief

It all starts with listening. Once a brief is established, Ripple’s designers start working on sketches and mood boards to form a proposition for our client.

This early stage ensures we align with your goals, space, product and customer journey — because Point of Purchase design is never one-size-fits-all.

Point of Purchase design concepts and strategies are not just about developing visually appealing features in-store. They hold great value for businesses and when done correctly, can bring about success that is hard to reach without a well-thought-out Point of Purchase plan being implemented.

2. Creative Exploration

Your vision starts to take shape.

Once initial ideas are developed, we regroup with you to refine the brief. The process becomes more focused on key deliverables, and this collaboration helps us ensure your displays speak directly to your audience — while staying on time and on brand.

3. 3D Design Visualisation

Next, we move into creative design with computer-generated models and rendered visual concepts of shop display solutions. This step lets you visualise how your display will look and function within a retail environment — long before anything is manufactured.

You'll receive: 

  • Detailed 3D CAD visuals to preview your display in full context
  • Realistic renderings that show finishes, lighting, and branding
  • Plumbing and equipment specs

To optimise your Point of Purchase strategy and elevate customer engagement, our team is dedicated to guiding you through the process, ensuring a seamless and impactful retail experience.

4. Technical Interpretation

No guesswork. You’ll seeOnce a concept has been agreed upon, the next stage is technical interpretation. Each element is designed to provide a manufacturing blueprint, which goes directly from the design studio to our factory. itemised costs for everything, from kit to install.

This stage bridges design and delivery — translating creativity into buildable reality.

5. Manufacturing & Prototyping

From the blueprint, we manufacture a prototype or a finished product (if it is a one-off project). From that prototype, we can move to batch or volume production using the programs we’ve already created. Because everything is handled in-house, we avoid unnecessary delays or loss of detail.

6. Delivery, Installation & Logistics

Every customer and every brand have different Point of Purchase design requirements — and the same applies to distribution.

We can directly deliver, install where required, hold stock in our logistics warehouse, handle national and overseas rollouts, and provide a store fit-out service.

Simply put, Ripple is a One-Stop Shop!

7. Handover & Aftercare

Once your Point of Purchase display is in-store, we walk it through with you.

Together, we check every detail, ensure everything’s functioning as it should, and talk you through how to get the best from your display.

From here, we’ll hand over all the technical documentation, and stay available for anything that needs tweaking or fine-tuning.

All displays are then manufactured by our team of in-house specialists.
