4. Interactivity The IDS concept gives the customers the opportunity to ‘mix and match’ products for their bathroom, encouraging them to be active explorers as opposed to static buyers. In order to bring this message forward, most of the IDS displays are interactive. An easy to use revolving system allows the customers to experiment with the various ranges and select their preferred combination out of the 3 design groups.

Before choosing the IDS display type, the shop layout should be
5. Summary
checked in order to measure the space available and to specify the location of the displays. The following objectives should be considered:
Page : 34
-
Visibility of the IDS display
-
IDS display interaction with other American Standard collections
-
Main traffic flow
-
Space needed for comfortable experience of the IDS products. Following the precept “less is more” chosing unsuitable size and making the shop feel cluttered is highly undesirable. On the contrary, a clear, spacious setup can optimize the message of the IDS collection.
