Man s mind once stretched by a new idea, never regains its original dimension. Modern consumers are not only looking for recognition. They want to experience things, be stimulated and surprised. In addition, more than 70% of purchase decisions are taken in the store. In other words, the impact of in-store marketing and communication is tremendous and much profit is to be gained from a contemporary, dynamic store concept. But how do you do this? Welcome to the world of 3M! Oliver Wendell Holmes An effective store concept is the result of careful attention, creativity and co-operation in all stages of the process, from idea to execution.

What we call results are beginnings. Ralph Waldo Emerson I DI-NOC brings design to life The modern consumer wants to be led by visual impressions. This is usually an unconscious process. However, the look and feel of a space has a determining effect on how people feel there. For this reason, each design must live up to the expectations of the consumer. 3M DI-NOC film offers unseen opportunities to create such a design signature. Colourful A natural or - on the contrary - a techno appearance, a no-nonsense business atmosphere or colourful cheerfulness: these are all possible. The DI-NOC range of films consists of 500 different colours and patterns. Many of these have popular structure designs, such as wood, leather, marble, suede and stainless steel. Other patterns have been specially designed for the collection. Efficient During the (re)styling of a store, normal activities usually have to continue. The inconvenience for the public must be reduced to a minimum. This is where DI-NOC film offers yet another major benefit. It is fast and can be applied on site, on practically all surface materials. So there is no need to dismantle the store or close down. You can also revamp existing furniture, partitions or elements with DI-NOC film. This allows you to keep up with the latest trends easily!

Vikuiti brings emotion to life Vikuiti Rear Projection Films and Screens provide an important new impetus for in-store marketing. They can transform a store window into an LCD screen or create a moving image on a store window. And these are just a few of the many possibilities! Crystal clear Vikuiti Rear Projection Films and Screens - as the name suggests - are illuminated from behind by a projector and the projected image can be seen from the front. All types of projection are possible: from slide shows and video clips to interactive media presentations. The colours are crystal clear and the image is sharper than with conventional screens. The image remains visible in bright light, in low light and when viewed from a wide angle. Teapot These films can be cut in any required shape and this is what makes them so special. A round or oval screen? No problem. A screen in the shape of a running shoe? No problem! One of the first applications of Vikuiti Film was an enormous teapot on the window of a cooking utensils store. On the teapot, scenes from a cooking programme were displayed. Narrowcasting Vikuiti Screens can be integrated in every narrowcasting system. This means that a fast-food chain using narrowcasting can combine its commercials with lifestyle information on screens in the shape of the brand s burger.

Clarke Did you know that 3M has 40 technological platforms, including adhesive materials, abrasive materials, light management, micro replication, nanotechnology and surface modification?

Windows are as essential to office prestige as Christmas is to retailing. Enid Nemy A T The public enemy number one of colours is UV radiation. UV radiation is the main culprit for fading. It is why virtually all garments, furniture, curtains and other coloured objects begin to fade if they are in a sunlit environment. 3m has the solution Having invented sun-resistant and UV-resistant films, 3M has been offering solutions to prevent colour fading for many years. However, the existing technology nearly always means that the film is tinted or reflective. For store windows and displays where glass is used to show the products on display, this is not an acceptable solution. For this reason, in the past few years 3M has successfully developed a new, transparent solution: 3M Prestige Window film. This film offers effective protection against UV rays combined with an uninhibited view of the products on display in the window. Invisible When the Prestige film is applied on the glass, it is virtually invisible. Passers-by have an uninhibited view into the window and the view from inside to outside too is unaffected. In addition, the Prestige film prevents 99% of the invisible but damaging UV radiation from passing through the window. S PHERE Did you know that 3M has more than 35 divisions, subdivided into six groups: Consumer and Office, Display and Graphics, Electro and Communications, Health Care, Industrial and Transportation, Safety, Security and Protection Services?
