A win for the Samsung, and a beautifully executed display to boost sales for JB HiFi!


Background

Customer experience is at the heart of every retail interaction. Especially for a high value purchase that you’ll use every day, like your next TV.

Big Screen? Small screen? 4K? Gaming? Lifestyle? Soundbars?

The only way to choose is to experience them all – Samsung, the leading TV brand – JB HiFi the leading CE retailer have levelled up with a complete product destination!

Display Brief

The design team at Cheil had conceptualised a two-part concept to occupy a large footprint in the JB HiFi TV department.

The concept was very angular, two concave wings with many surfaces, facing each other like Yin and Yang. The idea was to create various ‘zones’ in which to view the different product features and soundscapes.

To accommodate the huge 98” NeoQLED screen, the overall dimensions are 1.7M High x 2.7 x 2.7M.

Our task was to engineer a premium, stable, easily transported solution, that allowed easy cable access and would include an Xbox gaming demo, smart lighting, and a rotating TV mount.

Customer Experience

This display stands head and shoulders above the existing displays in store, inviting the customer to walk around the outside and experience the largest screens with soundbar and sub audio, in either the QLED TV, or the Lifestyle range.

Beside The Frame in a massive 85” size, an auto rotating ‘The Frame’ TV switches from landscape to portrait mode, and the full Frame bezel accessory range is on display.

Step inside the walls and be immersed in the deep blacks, clean whites, and brilliant colours of the ‘Quantum Dot’ OLED tech. Rear speakers and hidden sub provide 360-degree ATMOS sound.

See the glow of interactive Philips Hue smart lighting feature, designed to mimic the colours shown on screen, then turn left to pick up the Xbox controller and experience “reference-level colour accuracy, and hyper fast gaming.” (Ref: Sound&Vision, Mark Henninger, March 20, 2023)

Result

In a retail world frequently shopped by size and price, show-stopping brand experiences are a rarity.

Not only was the design engineered with fast execution in mind, but the rich colours, premium paint finishes and illuminated signage make the Samsung TV Innovation Zone a hit with shoppers and store staff alike!

The smooth roll out has enabled Samsung prime position in the lead up to peak shopper season.

Thank you CHEIL Worldwide Australia for partnering with us to bring the SAMSUNG TV Innovation Zone to life at JB HiFi stores nationally.
