ShoptalkThe latest news and offers for SDEA members and the display industry

The Visual Merchandising & Display Show 2022 - Bringing the industry back together.

With a painful couple of years taking customers away from the high street it has never been more important for bricks and mortar retailers to maintain and increase their customer base by providing engaging and theatrical in‐store experiences.

As SDEA Members know this can be achieved through inspiring Visual Merchandising which will in turn retain loyal customers, gain new customers and reach wider audiences. In this changing retail world, stay inspired, mingle with world‐changing creatives and innovators, see the latest products and services at Europe’s only dedicated Retail Visual Merchandising and Display Exhibition.

The Retail VM & Display Show has over 100 exhibitors showcasing mannequins, props, design, Christmas decorations, 3D modelling, hangers, print, fabrics, lighting, artificial plants, graphics, window dressing, signage, audio visual, large format print, neon, display cabinets, wallcoverings and much more in a central, easy‐to‐reach London location. This is the most important event in the visual merchandising calendar and is where Retailers, VM Directors, Store Planners, Creative Directors, Procurement Teams, Visual Merchandising Managers and their teams can update their knowledge, network and be inspired. During your visit meet up with the industry’s most talented creatives who will share their expertise and know‐how.

Discover the very latest production techniques and technologies – from concept to installation – to provide design inspiration to fit your budget and schedule. Source hard‐to‐find props. And explore the potential of the innovative companies and creatives exhibiting who can make your ideas a reality. This year’s Show is full of exciting companies and boasts a record number of new exhibitors just waiting to engage with you.

3D DISPLAYS AT THE VM & DISPLAY SHOW - STAND D1A

3D Displays will be exhibiting at the VM & Display Show on stand D1a.

They are very excited to be taking lots of new products and also to be taking lots of examples of products which have been customised using their bespoke manufacturing and printing service. For example their printed steps and risers which can now be purchased online.

2022 has seen the introduction of many more printed display products and exhibition displays at 3D Displays. They are delighted by the introduction of their printed Groovewall exhibition system W2000P which is designed for use with the Octanorm® exhibition shell scheme, and can be printed with customers’ own graphics & images.

To enhance your stand further the company’s new hook-on signs can also be printed with your graphics and hooked over the top of the exhibition shell scheme or any other 2cm pole. Alternatively, printed slatwall signs can be attached directly to the slatwall panels.
