The display briefly lights up and then fades away, using little energy and thus becomes an unaggressive nonverbal communication device. Further, it is portable and can be easily moved around in the shelf environment. The actual display is LED backlit only, meaning that normal labels of any message can be easily inserted into the display and changed regularly.
Through vibrations caused by taking a product off the shelf, the TouchingLight display briefly lights up, displaying the message in a bright light, shortly after it fades away using little energy. Hereby you're creating an opportunity to encourage a customer to make a last minute choice. TouchingLight increases the likelihood of sales for your brand. Furthermore, TouchingLight is portable and can be easily moved around on different shelves.

"We were looking for a portable shelf display that would catch the customer’s attention by being lit constantly. However, the life span of the batteries of such a device would be insufficient. By keeping a sustainable mindset, TouchingLight rectified this issue by lighting up for one second after sensing the vibrations from the shelf. One of the many usages for TouchingLight is that it can display whatever message the brand wishes to enhance in their marketing campaign. We wanted the display to be simple while covering the complex technical side, which was the filtering out the irrelevant types of vibrations on the shelves, caused for example by the normal buzzing sound found in most refrigerators."

LED display: 95 x 50 x 23 mm
One size only. For other requests we can customize the size, if the quantity is above 500 units.
If you plug in the battery it will last exactly 120 days due to a clock in the device. If you unplug the battery the clock will stop, but as soon as you plug it back in, it will start again. I.e. If you unplug it at day 115, next time you plug it back in, it will start from day 115 again, and then continue counting down. At day 120 the display shuts off and has to be replaced with a new battery. This is a way to ensure that the light is always strong in TouchingLight.
NO, the battery is supplied by Swedbrand Innovations and it is programmed to work with the device; no external batteries can be used.
The label used is normal backlit paper. We use Optima backlit paper, 175 My thickness. This is a common label material for backlit panels. Many local printers can provide it (i.e. print shops that print business cards). The thickness can vary and it’s not important that it’s exact as above.
There is a sensor, an accelerometer that senses vibrations caused by either touching products or the shelf itself. The display will pick up the vibration and signal the LED display to be turned on.
The Standard Edition can be shipped out immediately as we have stock.
No MOQ, we can sell as little as one carton, which is 50 pcs.
Light display that goes off by vibration.
Yes we can supply a secure way of fastening the device on the shelf. In our experience there is however very little theft of the device and may only be necessary in some markets.
Yes, we do. The time of measure this is essential to have the numbers accurate. Brands may have TV campaigns or other efforts that push sales, but we have record that shows increase in sales up to 25% with certain clients. Sales increase can be experienced for those who are able to compare accurately. I.e. one customer within the tobacco industry experienced sales increase up to 25% by using the same shelf system at various stores. The test for their products was in 2 different gas station chains (all stores look the same). So they have been able to compare sales data at the same time.
The Network Edition is a Standard TouchingLight with BLUETOOTH connectivity, which allows multiple displays to be connected to each other, meaning that when one goes off, another one will start blinking. The Network Edition connects 2 pieces. Excellent way of cross selling!
Depending on store layout. We have successfully been able to make the distance up to 10 m. However that is rarely the reality, the idea is to place them closer together so the consumers can see two different options at two separate shelves.
Network Edition is by order, and the delivery takes approximately 6 weeks.
Our MOQ is 100pcs (50pcs x 2, because we sell them in a set).
