POS-MARKETING
The final approach to the consumer is crucial for success.
POS-Marketing
International studies show that almost two-thirds of all decisions to purchase
are made directly at the place of purchase. And the trend continues. It is
also clear that consumers’ decisions are still open to influence at the place
of purchase – offering a tremendous potential for POS Marketing. It is all the
more surprising, therefore, that so many opportunities are missed during
the final approach to the consumer. By considering a few selected aspects,
SHOP aktuell attempts to shed light on a marketing discipline which has all
too often been sadly neglected.

Saeco is a byword for
coffee and Italian lifestyle.
The branding is consistently carried through to the
shop-in-shop solution and
the accessories display.
The retail trade’s prime concern is to optimise
the revenues per range of goods (category). Depending on its positioning, it is therefore a matter
of defi ning not only the ‘right’ brands/ products,
but also the right number of products/ brands. If
the number of articles presented is too large, the
consumer may very quickly become confused
and experience a sense of frustration as a result.
To counteract this it is helpful to employ the LIM
(Less is More) strategy developed by ShopConsult by Umdasch, in order to fi nd the right balance. If a smaller number of articles is correctly
presented, the consumer is more likely to attribute to the place of sale a subjective awareness
of a considerably greater competence as regards
selection. When employed in a consistent manner, LIM reduces the complexity and logistic
costs and thus increases the turnover.
The LIM strategy is controversial inasmuch
as weaker brands may well get left behind. The
subject of brands versus own brands is another
bone of contention. Here, ultimately, it is a matter of the skill of those concerned within both
the industry and the retail trade to develop joint
strategies and concepts in
such a manner as to arrive
at a mutually satisfactory win-win situation.
Continuity as a Principle of Success

challenge for a product or a brand is therefore to
be noticed in the first place. A successful company
is the one which succeeds in communicating its
brand, its message and its products as universally
as possible in order to present them in such a way
that the purchaser is aware of their existence. In
general, the retail trade cannot ignore a product or
brand which is attractive to the consumer.
Although there may
be inconsistencies in the
sales-promotion terminology employed, POS
experts are nonetheless
in agreement that continuity of measures is the
only key to lasting success. “Only the systematic interaction of marketing measures and
all those involved can
make the Point of Sale
into a place where sales
take place in the long
term,“ states Bert Martin Ohnemüller, owner
of the agency BMO in
Offenbach. He calls his
model for continuous
sales promotion “Thruthe-Line-Marketing“.

Accompanying media and activities which provide additional support include leaflets, posters,

The basic idea behind this concept is simple. In
contrast to traditional compartmentalised thinking, in other words product management, trade
marketing, sales etc., the Thru-the-Line-Principle follows the decision-making process and the
flow of goods from the manufacturer through to
the purchaser. A glimpse of our markets makes
it clear that integral thought processes represent
the dictates of the moment. “Some manufacturers
have not yet progressed beyond the positioning of
advertising posters. Their integration in a comprehensive marketing concept is an ideal which can
be observed all too seldom“, says Ohnemüller.
One of the essential tasks of the POS marketing manager is to ensure that his product is
given a prominent position on the retailer’s shelf
(regular placement). If possible it is also a question of ensuring that the product is presented in a
dramatic and eye-catching manner.
The stage for this presentation is the display; in basic terms it can also be described as a

“Outlet-specific advertising measures are increasingly planned and executed in a dialogue
between manufacturer and retailer“, claims POS
expert Robert Hauptmann of Action.Display, Vienna, on the other hand. But he too admits that
especially at the end of the process a strategic
gap remains, precisely between the advertising
campaign and the POS presentation. This applies
in particular to the lack of involvement of the retailer’s sales staff.
Norbert Wittmann of the Nymphenburg Group
also puts his faith in continuity. The focus of his
advice lies in consumer behaviour at the POS,
in market research at the POS, as well as trade
marketing and category management. Wittmann
maintains: “Only those who understand and take
into account the psychology of the end consumer
are in a position to develop measures which will
lead to increased sales.“

even a space-creating shop-within-a-shop. The
important thing is that the display presents the
brand message in a coherent manner, that it represents the latest in presentation technique and
that it starts from the pole position – in other
words, in a prominent location.
Before such a display is designed, there are
a number of questions relating

the POS itself. Last but not least, an understanding of the inter-relationships
of all these elements will be required.
The radius of activity of many agencies ends before the POS. In the fi nal
analysis it is easier to multiply the
number of advertising spots and advertising subjects than it is to observe in
detail consumers in shops and to draw
the right conclusions regarding
their behaviour.

to free themselves
from their role as the
stepchildren of marketing can in any case
be justified. And yet,
the ice on which they
are treading is thin.
Companies specialising
in this field, like BMO in
Offenbach and the Nymphenburg Group, are the exception rather than the rule, at least in
German-speaking countries. The list of
members registered in the German POS Marketing Association (POSMA) contains hardly
more than a dozen addresses. In the international
field, the International Association for Marketing at the Point of Purchase (POPAI), founded
in the U.S., deserves mention for its influential
role in this field. The importance attached to
POS marketing in the United States can be seen,
amongst other things, at the American shopfitting and retail fair Global Shop.

SHOP TALK
Norbert Wittmann discusses
professional POS Marketing
“POS marketing does more
than just influence opinions
and expectations: it produces actions.”
Product competition has turned into the competition to be noticed. Now more
than ever, in a communication landscape that is characterised by stimulusoverload, the outcome of this competition tends to be determined directly at
the POS. It is surprising, then, that POS marketing specialists are so few and far between. Norbert Wittmann,
managing partner at Nymphenburg Retail Consult
in Munich, Germany, is undoubtedly one of this rare
breed. Amongst other factors, Wittmann’s success is
based upon his exhaustive analysis of consumer behaviour at the POS. This approach is central to the Nymphenburg group’s strategies: Wittmann’s colleague Dr
Hans Georg Häusel hit the headlines recently with his
new best-seller “Brain Script – Why Consumers Buy!”
Reinhard Peneder conducted the following discussion
about consumer behaviour at the POS and other POS
marketing aspects with Norbert Wittmann.
What is your definition of POS-Marketing?
Instead of a classic definition: POS Marketing
closes the gap between classic advertising (brand
and retail advertising) and the consumer’s shopping basket at the POS.
What is the difference between marketing at
the POS as practised by retailers and the POS
marketing of manufacturers and brands?
Retailers tend to think first and foremost in terms
of their own categories whereas the manufacturers think in terms of their own brand. From the
point of view of the manufacturer, POS marketing transports that particular brand to the POS
while retailers see it as highlighting the category
at the POS. This is often achieved through the
strong presence of one particular producer’s
brand, which draws attention to the category of
products as a whole.
Which conflicts of interest come to the fore in
these situations?
Only well-established producers are able to think
in terms of the category rather than simply their
own product. This is because they benefit disproportionately from category growth. Other producers are frequently concerned that this is more
likely to benefit the competition than it is to benefit their own brand.
POS marketing is often considered to be the
stepchild of marketing mix. Is this actually
the case, and if so, why?
POS marketing is terribly short-lived and dependent upon a large number of factors. POS
presence, such as displays and other POS materi-
10
als, often demands a sizeable initial investment
and there is usually a considerable delay before
the results, which are not easily measured (beyond simple sales figures), become apparent.
Most significantly, however, POS marketing is
coordination- and communication-intensive, and
so many companies shy away from it. Last but
not least, POS marketing is not possible without
a certain level of mutual trust between the retailer and the producer. And that cannot be taken for
granted nowadays.
Why does the activity radius of many agencies
not encompass the POS?
In part, this is simply a function of lacking retail
experience. In addition, POS marketing is very
complicated and requires great attention to detail, without the prospect of winning great recognition and fame in return. And furthermore, POS
marketing lacks the planning and calculation
tools that are available in other sectors of marketing.
In which types of businesses, trades and ranges is POS marketing used most frequently?
Large retail spaces are often favoured because of
the large surface area available. Specialist shops
and sometimes department stores are also suitable because they give prominence to well-established brands. A wide range of trades can benefit
from POS marketing, from fashion to sports and
from cosmetic products to fast-moving consumer
goods (FMCG).
It is said that half to three-quarters of all decisions to buy a particular product or brand are
SHOP aktuell 99
SHOP TALK
actually made at the POS itself. Isn’t that just
wishful thinking on the part of POS marketing specialists?
No, it is not. Although this varies considerably
from category to category, almost all final and
concrete decisions to buy a particular product or
brand really are made at the POS itself. This is
confirmed by a large number of studies carried
out by our company as well by others. And so
guiding and steering shoppers during this period
remains a worthwhile task for POS marketing
specialists.
What are the classic tools of POS marketing,
and what is the role of displays?
“Classic” POS media such as flyers, posters,
cardboard displays etc. continue to be most effective in attracting consumer attention. But new
media, including electronic media, are gaining
ground steadily. Displays, and permanent displays in particular, are of great importance in
this respect, as they usually represent a balanced
compromise between quality, the duration of
their use and their effect as well as their cost.
What does POS marketing achieve, how can
one quantify the successes of particular measures and which benchmarks are there?
The main effect is obviously the steering and attachment of customers, a reinforcement of the
brand’s image and increased sales figures. A POS
marketing strategy’s success is frequently measured purely and simply in terms of sales figures,
in the absence of other key data. But it is unrealistic to expect the increased sales to pay for the
POS marketing. Incidentally, this is not expected
of other marketing instruments such as printed
advertisements, either.
How are POS marketing costs calculated, and
what are the measurement categories?
There is little effect- and cost-transparency in
POS marketing, and there is virtually no standard key data that is generally acknowledged and
binding. And so one tends to invoke parallels
with classic media research. But is it really appropriate to compare 1000 contact prices with a
situation in which customers are targeted at the
point of sales?
Why is knowledge of end-consumer psychology so important in POS marketing?
The result of good POS marketing is an engagement with the goods and, ultimately, their purchase. In no other aspect of the marketing process does one get this close to the customer or
reach out to the customer such a short time before
the fulfilment of his desires. POS marketing does
more than just influence opinions and expectations: it produces actions. Our studies show that
the idea of a “rational” consumer is a fiction. The
largest part of the shopping process is an unconscious one. An unwise strategy at the POS nullifies all previous investments. Good POS strateUMDASCH SHOP-CONCEPT
gies allow producers and retailers to tap into the
most enormous potential.
“Agencies frequently shy
away from POS marketing
because of the meticulous
attention to detail that it
requires.”
In your experience of the application of POS
marketing, what are the greatest challenges

James Richardson:
Ein unvergessliches
Shopping-Erlebnis
Den Verantwortlichen von James
Richardson war es ein besonders wichtiges Anliegen, den Besuchern ihres neuen Duty Free
Stores am Flughafen Ben Gurion
in Tel Aviv ein unvergessliches
Shopping-Erlebnis zu bieten. In
der Tat hat im November 2004
eine der weltweit attraktivsten
Airport-Shoppingzonen ihre Pforten geöffnet. Neben den ehrgeizigen Zielen des Auftraggebers
waren dafür auch die kreative
Handschrift von Portland Design,
London und das Travel-RetailKnow-how von Umdasch ShopConcept verantwortlich.

James Richardson Duty Free besticht
als Gesamtkunstwerk ebenso wie durch viele kleine Marketing- und Design-Details.
Logistisch ist die im Saison und Tagesverlauf stark schwankende Passagierfrequenz
eine große Herausforderung. Gelöst wurde
sie durch eine großzügige Raumerschließung, einladende und übersichtliche Wegeführung, schlüssige und sofort erkennbare Sortimentsgliederung sowie durch die
Platzierung von nicht weniger als 32 Kassen. Drei kleinere Last Minute Duty Free’s
sind ein zusätzlicher Service für eilige bzw.
vergessliche Passagiere. Ein besonders verkaufsförderndes Detail ist die Möglichkeit,
vor dem Abflug getätigte Einkäufe bis zur
Rückreise am Flughafen deponieren zu können. Die betreffenden Artikel werden von
den Kassen per Lift direkt ins Abhollager
weitergeleitet.

James Richardson:
An unforgettable shopping experience
Those responsible at James Richardson were determined to offer the customers of their new Duty Free store at Ben Gurion airport in Tel Aviv an unforgettable shopping experience. And so, thanks to the client’s ambitious aims,
the creative talent of Portland Design, London and the travel-retail know-how
of Umdasch Shop Concept, one of the most attractive airport shopping
areas in the world opened its doors to the public in November 2004.

he brand-new 2.650 m² James Richardson
Duty Free main store is impressive both as an
overall shopping experience and for the numerous
small marketing and design details that make up
the whole. Logistically speaking, the highly fluctuating passenger frequency linked to the season
and the time of day presented the minds behind
the store design with quite a challenge. These difficulties were overcome through the development
of generous open spaces; inviting and clearly laidout pathways through the store; a coherent and
easily recognisable arrangement of the goods; and
finally a grand total of 32 tills. And three smaller
last-minute Duty Free shops provide forgetful
passengers and those who are in a hurry with an
additional shopping opportunity. Many customers
take advantage of the storage service that allows
them to go shopping before their outward flight
and pick up their products when they have landed
in Tel Aviv on the way home, so this particular
detail has proved to be particularly effective at
promoting sales. The items are transferred from
the tills straight to the collection depot, awaiting
the passenger’s return.

usual anchor establishments
(in this case Kaufland and Media Markt) and the big-name

the main reasons for this development.

Grazer Leder & Schuh AG neue
Maßstäbe im europäischen

dieses Rezept allerdings „gekocht und gewürzt“

nicht vollständig verraten. Klar ist natürlich,
dass für derart große Flächen mit Flagship-Charakter nur wenige Standorte in Frage kommen.
Konkurrenz belebt das Schuh-Geschäft
Beide neuen Schuhwelten präsentieren sich
im Umfeld der unmittelbaren Mitbewerber,
aber auch in verkaufsfördernder Nachbarschaft
erster Mode-Adressen. In Wien hat Humanic
im ehemaligen Virgin Mega Store in der revitalisierten und pulsierenden Mariahilfer Straße

Erfolgs-Geheimnisse
Humanic (bzw. der Dachkonzern Leder &
Schuh) hat aus der Tradition heraus eine starke Beziehung zur Produktion. Noch heute wird
ein erheblicher Teil des Angebots selbst gestaltet. „Das macht uns schnell und bringt Kostenvorteile“ stellt Vorstandsmitglied Dr. Gottfried
Maresch im Gespräch mit SHOP aktuell fest.
Die Affinität zu Material und Materie spürt und
riecht man an allen Ecken und Enden, das nehmen auch die Konsumenten wahr. Das Gespür
für die „richtigen“ Standorte ist ein weiterer Erfolgsfaktor.
Die mit stark erotischem Touch versehene
Marktkommunikation hat bei Humanic längst
Kultstatus erreicht. Überzeugend ist nicht zuletzt die Durchgängigkeit vom TV-Spot bis zum
POS-Auftritt. Die Läden sind Bühnen, die Raum
für immer neue Inszenierungen schaffen. Der
gekonnte Einsatz von Farben und Licht spielt
ebenso eine Rolle wie die Kommunikation über
Bilder und das Spiel mit Emotionen. Humanic
belebt die Sinne. Man lässt sich ständig und von
überall inspirieren, nicht nur aus New York,
London oder Paris. Der Blick über den Zaun zu
anderen Branchen und Themen hat Methode.
Konsequenz ist angesagt, wenn es um die Präsentation des Sortiments selbst geht, hier folgt

New dimensions in the shoe trade
Humanic arouses the senses
The brand portfolio of Leder &
Schuh is identical with those of its
subsidiary companies and fields
of business and includes Corti,
Dominici, Humanic, Jello, Shoe 4
You and Top Schuh. This means
that all segments of the market
are covered, from the economy
price range (Jello), via the classic
shoe business (with Humanic
as the core brand) to the luxury
segment (Dominici).
The Graz-based Leder & Schuh AG has set new standards in the shoe
trade within Europe with the opening in May 2005 of two “Humanic Show
World” stores, each approx. 3,000 m² in size, at top addresses in Cologne
and Vienna. One of the secrets of the success of the long-established
company, which has an annual turnover of some 338 m Euros, is its avantgarde shop design, which arouses the senses with its uncompromisingly
well-ordered shoe presentation.
Author: Reinhard Peneder
N
owadays, even a well-run and efficent shoe
shop needs plenty of space. But 3,000 m²
seem amazing, even to experts. “Thanks to the
vast selection on display in Humanic shops the
customer need no longer traipse round a succession of other shoe shops”, points out the Chairman of the Board Dr. Thomas P. Ridder when
explaining the advantage for the customer of
such a large display area. There is more to it than
that, however: the concept behind all that space
is clearly defined. To put it in a nutshell: in order
to become the market leader in any given field, it
is essential to have a certain number of designs
on display. The number of designs on display
multiplied by the presentation philosophy gives
the sales area required. Alternatively, you can
begin your calculation with the size of the sales
area available for the display. The result is a competence centre in shoe sales… However, the Humanic managers did not reveal to us exactly how
they “cook and season” this particular recipe for
success. What is clear, of course, is that only a
small number of locations will be suitable for
such large sales spaces which thereby acquire
something of a flagship character.
The shoe business thrives on competition
Both new shoe stores are located in the vicinity of shops run by their direct competitors,
but also in the neighbourhood of the top fashion
addresses which actively encourage additional

sports brands are to the left. Attention is drawn
optically to the area occupied by the exclusive
brands. In the basement, children will discover
an adventure playground with basketball and a
Playstation island. On the first floor, men will
find what they are looking for. Exclusive designs
are displayed on the far wall, with sports shoes
on the right-hand side and casual designs on the
left. Special offers are displayed on the first floor
and in the basement in clearly marked “Bestseller Areas”.
Secrets of success
Traditionally, Humanic (or more accurately,
the umbrella concern Leder & Schuh), has strong
links with shoe production. To this day, a large
proportion of the designs on offer are designed
and produced by the company itself. “That makes
us quick to react and brings cost advantages”,
states Member of the Board Dr. Gottfried Maresch in a conversation with SHOP aktuell. The
affinity with both the product and the materials
is tangible on all sides, a fact which customers

A multitude of small details make the Humanic store a feast for all the senses.
Ein Warenbild, das die Erfüllung höchster Ansprüche signalisiert. Vom Sneaker bis zum Rahmengenähten soll den Männern jeder Wunsch erfüllt

sense in many ways. An instinctive feeling for
the right locations is another success factor.
Humanic’s market communication, with its
unmistakably erotic undertones, has long since
achieved cult status. Last but not least, the consistent approach from TV advertising spot to
Point of Sale presentation convinces customers.
Humanic shops are stages which provide a setting for an infinite range of new productions.
The skilful use of colours and light is just as
important as the communication through pictures and the appeal to the emotions. Humanic
arouses the senses, seeking inspiration not only
in New York, London and Paris. Looking over
the fence at other branches and themes matters
too. Consistency is important, when it comes to
the presentation of a particular range; the rules
to be followed are clear. “At Humanic you can
see the face of store design in 2010” was one
comment at the opening press conference in
Cologne. The staff at Umdasch Shop-Concept is
delighted to hear such remarks, for the company
has been a partner of the Leder & Schuh-Gruppe
for many years and was also responsible for the
shopfitting of the Humanic stores in Vienna and
Cologne.

Reif für die
Grüne
Insel
Der wirtschaftliche Aufschwung der Republik Irland hat
längst auch den Einzelhandel erfasst. Das ist an verschiedenen Kennzahlen eindrucksvoll abzulesen. Aber auch daran, dass die Grafton Street im Herzen Dublins mittlerweile
zu den teuersten Einkaufsstraßen der Welt zählt. Mittendrin
im Geschehen ist Umdasch Shop-Concept. Mit zahlreichen
erstklassigen Referenzprojekten für renommierte Retailer
wurde die Reifeprüfung für die Grüne Insel mit Bravour bestanden.
V
oraussichtlich 5,7 % Wachstum
beim Bruttoinlandsprodukt im
Jahr 2005, 33.000 Euro Jahreseinkommen pro Einwohner (Deutschland:
26.400), relativ niedrige Arbeitslosenrate (4,3 %) ... Die Iren stehen gut da.
Sie haben die ihnen von der EU eingeräumten Möglichkeiten geschickt genutzt. Der frühere Agrarstaat ist eine
Hochtechnologiegesellschaft geworden, das klassische Auswandererland
zu einem Magneten für Menschen und
Kapital.
Pulsierender Einzelhandel
Der Konsum hält mit der insgesamt
positiven
Wirtschaftsentwicklung
Schritt, der Einzelhandel profitiert
davon. Die alteingesessenen irischen
Händler haben inzwischen nicht nur
Besuch von der Nachbarinsel bekommen, sondern auch zahlreiche internationale Player möchten an der Kauflust
der Iren mitnaschen (siehe Tabelle).
Die Grafton Street im Herzen Dublins hat sich - gemessen an den Mietkosten - zur
fünftteuersten Einkaufsstraße der Welt „emporgearbeitet“.
Grafton Street, at the
very heart of the city of Dublin, has become the fifth-most-expensive shopping strip
in the world, according to lease rental charges.

Die starke Nachfrage beschleunigt eine Zunahme der Verkaufsflächen. Das führt häufig insofern zu Herausforderungen, als die Innenstädte
die zeitgemäßen Flächen- und Flächenzuschnittsanforderungen nur mehr unzureichend erfüllen können. Das
begünstigt das Entstehen von
Einkaufszentren. Ein Beispiel
dafür ist das Dundrum Town
Centre direkt an den Toren der
Hauptstadt Dublin, nur etwa 5 km
von deren Zentrum entfernt. Es
gilt als die irische Antwort auf
das Bluewater Center östlich von
London. Nach Fertigstellung der
ersten Projektphase im Frühjahr 2005 sind auf 85.000 m²
Verkaufsfläche 125 Stores und
25 Restaurants, Kinocenter und
Theater präsent. In der für 2008
vorgesehen
Endausbauphase
sind über 120.000 m² Verkaufsfläche vorgesehen. Schon jetzt
sind erste Adressen wie ein
riesiger Tesco-Markt, Marks &
Spencer, House of Fraser, Next,
Fitzpatricks, H & M, Zara usw.
vor Ort.
Das Dundrum Town Centre
direkt an den Toren Dublins
wird nach seinem Vollausbau
über weit mehr als 100.000 m²
Verkaufsfläche verfügen.
The Dundrum Town
Centre, on the outskirts of
Dublin, will comprise well
over 100,000 m² of retail
space after the completion
of the final stages of construction and finishing.

Umdasch bedient erste Adressen
Ähnlich wie in Großbritannien sind Ladenbaumaßnahmen in Irland sehr arbeitsteilig
strukturiert. Häufig sind bei Projekten Marketing-Profis, Architekten, Designer, Kreative
verschiedenster Disziplinen und Projektmanager
gemeinsam an Bord, ehe für die Realisierung
noch einmal eine Heerschar an Handwerkern auf
den Plan tritt. Darunter auch Shopfitter. Zuneh-
mend schätzen die irischen Retailer aber auch
komplette Leistungspakete (mit unterschiedlicher Zusammensetzung der Leistungsmodule),
da diese in der Regel ein hohes Maß an Terminund Preissicherheit bieten.
Umdasch Shop-Concept beherrscht dieses
Rollenspiel und stellt seine Teams kompromisslos nach den jeweiligen Anforderungen zusammen. Seit einigen Jahren ist Umdasch punktuell
in Irland tätig, etwa beim Brandland für Guinness, verschiedene Duty Free-Shops für Aer
Rianta oder für die Filialisten Stauntons Elverys und Best. Zuletzt wurden die Aktivitäten in
Irland von Großbritannien bzw. direkt von Österreich aus verstärkt, derzeit wird sogar vor Ort
eine eigene Position aufgebaut.
Ein treffendes Beispiel für die vielfältige Tätigkeit von Umdasch Shop-Concept in Irland ist das
bereits erwähnte Dundrum Town Centre. Dort hat
Umdasch fünf sehenswerte Geschäfte eingerichtet: Den zu Brown Thomas gehörenden FashionStore BT2 (650 m²), einen Flagship Store für Best
Mens Wear (279 m²), das Optikergeschäft Optica
(80 m²), Fitzpatricks Shoes (130 m²) und schließlich eine Timberland-Filiale (150 m²).
Eine Institution in Irland ist Brown Thomas
in der Grafton Street in Dublin. Wer in Dublin
internationale Luxusmarken sucht, findet sie in
diesem Nobel-Kaufhaus mit fast 160jähriger
Geschichte: Hermes, Christian Dior, La Perla, DKNY, Ralph Lauren, Chanel, Prada, Louis Vuiton, Fendi, Gucci ... Erst im Juni letzten
Jahres konnte man aus den Medien erfahren, dass
der amerikanische Pop-Star Britney Spears nach
einem Auftritt höchstpersönlich zum Shopping

Fit for the Emerald Isle

The Republic of Ireland’s retail industry has been benefiting from the country’s overall economic boom for several years now, as is clearly visible from
the impressive trends apparent in the sector’s index figures. Furthermore,
Grafton Street in central Dublin has become one of the most expensive
shopping strips in the world. Umdasch Shop-Concept has been closely
involved in the boom. Numerous first-rate reference projects of renowned
retailers confirm that the company has passed its initiation test on the Emerald Isle with flying colours.
A
projected growth rate of 5.7% for Ireland’s
gross domestic product in 2005, an average annual income of 33,000 Euros per inhabitant (compared to Germany’s 26,400 Euros), a
relatively low unemployment rate (4.3%)… The
Irish are clearly doing very well, having taken
UMDASCH SHOP-CONCEPT
full advantage of the possibilities made available
to them by the European Union. The agrarian
state of the past has become a high-tech society
and the former country of emigrants now attracts
foreign investment and manpower.

A Vibrant Retail Industry
Consumption has risen in tandem with the
country’s positive economic development, allowing retailers to benefit from the favourable economic climate. Long-established Irish retailers
and traders are now popular with visitors from
the United Kingdom and international movers
and shakers eager to benefit from Ireland’s buying power alike (see chart).
Strong demand for retail spaces has accelerated their creation. This has frequently resulted in
challenges to urban planners and architects as the
city centres are running out of appropriate properties and are unable to keep up with the constant
demands placed upon retail spaces. And this has
promoted the construction of shopping malls, of
which the Dundrum Town Centre, on the outskirts
of town and just five kilometres from Dublin’s city
centre, is just one example. It is Ireland’s equivalent
to the Bluewater Centre just east of the city of London. Following the completion of the first project
phase in spring 2005, 125 shops, 25 restaurants, a
cinema complex and theatre now grace the Dundrum Town Centre’s 85,000 m2-retail space. The
sales space is to be expanded to 120,000 m² during
the final development phase, scheduled to be completed by 2008. Top retailers such as Tesco (which
has set up a large store), Marks & Spencer, House
of Fraser, Next, Fitzpatricks, H&M and Zara are
already present.
Umdasch, shopfitter to the top shops
The construction of retail spaces in both Ireland and the United Kingdom is characterised
by a marked division of labour. Marketing spe-

cialists, architects, designers, creative minds
in various fields of work and project managers
often collaborate on projects before a legion of
workmen and craftsmen such as shopfitters are
called upon to transform the vision into reality.
Complete service packages composed of various
flexible and interchangeable individual elements
are becoming increasingly popular with Ireland’s
retailers, however, as these tend to provide the
greatest possible price stability and most accurate deadline determination.
The minds behind Umdasch Shop-Concept
have mastered this fine art. They carefully select
and assemble the appropriate teams for various
tasks. Umdasch has been involved in a number of
specific projects in Ireland for several years: Guinness’s Brandland, a number of Duty Free Shops for

a rotating schedule. Most recently, Umdasch was
commissioned as a shopfitter, fitting the lingerie
and fashion floor (architecture and design: Douglas Wallace in collaboration with the Brown Thomas Store Design Department) after completing
the attractive Living department which now adds
to the lifestyle character of the store as a whole.
The Living department boasts luxurious goods
