Boots
A health and well being journey for all
Boots, the UK’s biggest chain of high street chemists wanted to improve the customer journey in store. Footfall was not a problem, rather customers found it hard to find the items they had come in for. Our research and understanding of the brand across multiple formats revealed a need for a comprehensive branded signage system. This would provide a unique infrastructure, vital to making the stores easy for customers to shop.
Comprehensive branded signage system
We designed in-store signage to be simple, low cost, and flexible. Scalable and flat-packed, it is magnetic, lightweight and easy to assemble and install, enabling staff to easily grow or shrink an in-store category area.
With the brief ‘to be able to recognise a Boots store from the top of a London bus’, we designed a suite of fascias for a broad store format portfolio, ranging from major flagships to smaller local pharmacies.
We worked across formats and department levels, formulating innovative ways of shopping key categories such as Skincare, Baby, Photo, Boots Optician and Boots.com in-store kiosks. We designed and developed concepts that are still rolling out more than a decade after original launch sites.
We named and developed the community-focused format ‘Your Local Pharmacy’ and co-branded the offer when Alliance and Boots first partnered.
