Breaking Through the Visual Noise of the Spirits Section

The wine and spirits aisle is one of the most visually saturated zones in retail. Brands invest heavily in unique bottle shapes and labels, only to end up lined up side-by-side on dark, deep grocery store shelves.

New Amsterdam needed a breakthrough solution to capture shoppers’ eyes at the critical point of purchase. Traditional cardboard or paper shelf talkers quickly blended into the background and got damaged. What they needed was a new kind of retail POP display — something that could animate, attract, and endure.

Meanwhile, standard digital LCD screens were bulky, cost-prohibitive, and impossible to install due to the complete lack of power outlets on standard liquor commercial racks. An epaper pop display offered the perfect middle ground: the visual impact of digital with the simplicity of paper.
