Inspiration eXploration Vol 4: Display Enhancers and Creative Branded Merchandise
Happy 2025!
With the new year comes new inspiration to eXplore and share!
ICYMI: Every Thursday morning our eXperts gather to share all of the things that have inspired them - whether it be in person, online or on social. Some are projects we are working on, some are a head nod to other creatives out there. This is our favorite part of the week and we thought we you'd like to share in the creativity.
This year is already nutty....
Grabbed from the socials, this packaging is marketing genius! Giving personality to a simple food product like walnuts... I wonder how many people bought this just because it was cute.. and now have a bunch of nuts they will never use sitting in their house somewhere ;-)
This is a prime example of a company using a creative process vs just a logistical one. A can of nuts or this one - which would you buy!
Wait...it's our anniversary?
Our very own eXpert, Jen, shared this branded coaster from a local restaurant group that (apparently) has been in business for 50 years. She had no idea and the coaster, along with some other branded items in the restaurant, made the announcement.
Have a seat
Anyone can order a custom branded chair with their colors and logo...but can you get one with a shark bite out of it? Spotted in the Bahamas... nobody brave enough to have a sit...
A Head Nod to High Noon
Spotted out in the wild, this display is certainly a head turner (or bobber)! We can make just about anything these days, including your favorite person into a giant bobblehead.
Everyone has everything
Have you noticed how everyone is selling everything these days? If you've been to a Lowe's Home Improvement store lately, you may have seen their clothing boutique smack dab in the middle of the store. I am guessing they will have baby goats next (can't wait !)
Sipping & Reminiscing
We thought this was a cool idea: printing the map of your destination on the INSIDE of the mug inducing memories of your wonderful trip as you sip! It is amazing what a little creativity can do to a plain white mug.
Stop by next week for more!
