The task was to amalgamate all 3 sub-brands in harmony with each other under one roof which was done using the same ambience, fixtures and style. Bringing the right experience with more than 3000 SKUs was a challenge yet justice was done with creative and innovative designs. Design strategy to fight with the market leader was to ensure a consumer gets the unheard experience of product inside the store like Gym, Climbing Wall, Treadmill, Basketball court and much more.
Inspiration
The inspiration came from two perspectives. Firstly the business problems which was faced by a client as Furo, Lamoure and Red chief were seen as different brands due to its multi-location presence leading to a visibility clutter. Secondly, the client needs to develop a strong brand identity. With the advent of global players creating a challenge for the client to match the upcoming competition. Hence inspired us to work on a new global identity.
Research
The growth in the Indian organized retail market is mainly because of changing consumer behaviour. During the research conducted studying consumer behaviour was an important factor taken into consideration. Thorough research was conducted to identify various gaps in order to connect with customers who will experience the store.
