There is a great post on "who pays for point of sale displays" that prompted me to sign up on this site. The advice and suggestions were very concrete and good.

For the last couple of weeks I have been thinking about our point-of-sale. Currently we sell online only and have moderately hot product (www.tenkarausa.com). I'm thinking of starting to roll our products out to independent retailers (fly-shops) in the near future. Since this is a new category in fly-fishing, and we are creating this category, I have no doubt it is very important to create a good POS display.

Can anyone offer any guidance on how to approach designing and manufacturing them? I have a designer who can add the final touches. But, from your experience, should I approach a manufacturing company and work with them? Also, I am spending a lot of time searching but having a very hard time finding a company to help design and manufacture the POS.

Any advice, steps and recommendations are VERY appreciated.

Thank you,

Daniel

By the way, for recommendations/referrals , would appreciate if they are in the San Francisco, CA area, since I feel this is something where I would like to be able to see in person. If you believe this is really not necessary, please tell me. We just started in April.

Hi Daniel,

I can certainly help you with your POP Display needs. We work with companies all over the country. You should be concentrating on your sales and marketing needs and leave the manufacturing to those that specialize in this field.

If you have a design... this is half the battle! We can tweak your design in order to manufacture it efficiently.

Send me an image of your design and I can guide you through the process. The manufacturing process will depend on what material it is produced out of, the qty and the artwork coverage.

Feel free to e-mail me at jack@promotionsdept.us or PM  through this site.

Thank you!

Jack

Hi,

 

It's all about the design and of course budget.  My company Arrow Graphics provides POS and large format printing.  It would be helpful to have someone w/ experience in structural design.  Also any info on application is always a must as far as size requirements and the actual instore application.  There are many options and some can be very costly, ie; wood, certain metals.  Be open to new ideas and develop specifics from that.  Be VERY specific, to ensure that your expectations are met.  Let me know if you have any questions.  My company info is
