This document discusses several male grooming brands and products, including Old Spice, Mr Natty, L'Oreal Men Expert, Hackett, Fish Soho, and Lynx. Key points about each brand are provided, such as target demographics, marketing approaches, and product lines. The document also evaluates several examples of point of sale displays found in stores, analyzing positive and negative aspects of each. These analyses will inform the design of a point of sale unit for Mr Natty, focusing on logical elements like usability, visual appeal to draw customers, and accessibility of the product while avoiding illogical aspects like too much text or an unclear brand representation.

2. Old Spice
Old Spice is a company that sells male grooming products such as deodorant, body wash and
aftershaves. The company originally was very traditional in terms of the marketing and packaging. Old
spice have now taken quite a comical approach to their marketing, using funny commercials. Old
spice’s products used to be very widely worn but died down, until they recently began to re-invent
themselves. One of the old slogans for old spice is ‘if your grandfather hadn't used it, you wouldn’t
exist’, this is quite a bold statement insinuating that their product attracts women. Old spice aims its
products at all men who want to smell good and attract the opposite sex. I think that their
commercials would attract a lot of customers as they are so bold and comical. Old Spice is aimed at
males around the age of 30 and above.
Mr Natty
Mr Natty is a brand set up by a man called Matt Raine, Mr Natty has a variety of male grooming products
such as: pomade wax hair preparation, Jack Tar’s bay rum after shave and moustache twizzle wax. Mr
Natty’s products are fun and quirky but Mr Natty isn’t a majorly popular brand because it isn't sold in
major drug stores like boots and Superdrug. The website for all Mr Natty products has many quirky
features to it, along the left hand side of the website it has a box full of slang words that he himself uses
and on the tab ‘Nattiness’ he interviews himself to let his target audience find out more about the
creation and creator of Mr Natty. The whole production of Mr Natty is very personalized and individual I
really like the touches it has. This range of products of
L'Oreal Men Expert
L’Oreal Men Expert is a company that sells products for men. L’Oreal sells all kinds of male grooming
products like deodorant, shaving foam, moisturisers and hair products. They always have quite plane
advertising using black and white image of men to give off the idea that women find this brand of
product attractive but for there actual products they use greys and oranges which are quite bright
drawing you towards them. I think that although there marketing is very simple and maybe perceived
as quite boring it is also quite sophisticated and draws the public in making them want to buy L'Oreal's
male grooming products. L’Oreal Men Expert are a very big male grooming company and they advertise
there products very well drawing in the customers, they do this by giving off the impression that the
most attractive males where there products. women may even see these products and buy them for
family and friends

3. Hackett
Hackett is an upmarket company that sells both male grooming products and men's clothing, this
company aims all of its products at traditional British gentlemen, it is aimed at men around the age of
20 to 30. Hackett's advertising is very traditional and smart just like their products, simplistic yet
sophisticated. A well dressed young man would wear Hackett to fit their persona. I really like the way
that Hackett lay out their website and advertisements, simplistic black and white theme making it feel
more traditional to match the products. Although their cloths are really expensive their male
grooming products are more affordable making it available to a wider range of young men.
Fish Soho
Fish Soho is a company that sells a variety of different male grooming products like hair products
and deodorant, the fish website is very traditional looking but the products all consist of quite
vibrant bold colours which could be quite confusing for their customers and would definitely
hinder their popularity. Fish Soho used to be a hairdressing company so I would imagine that
their hair products are very specialist and popular. I would say that their products are aimed at
men around the age of about 25 upwards. As you can see they have a very famous actor from
Harry Potter and twilight in one of their posters which would draw in a lot of customers and
shows that its aimed at men around 25 that would be well presented and groomed.
Lynx
Lynx is a company that sells male grooming products, it is a range of products that was
originally made by a company called unilever, the ad campaigns draw customers in by making
this product look irresistible to women and this is why young men wear it. It is aimed at
people in their teens up to about the age of 20, many young children that have just begun
puberty wear their products and carry on wearing it until they reach an age where they are
more mature. This product is only called lynx in the UK and Ireland around the rest of the
world its called Axe. Lynx have recently launched a deodorant for women which will broaden
their target audience. They are very successful and always advertise and package the male
grooming products very well.

6. Mr Natty
I have chosen to design a point of sale unit for the brand Mr Natty because I
believe that I will be able to come up with some very interesting and
creative designs for this brand due to the theme of it. I really like how
individual the branding of Mr Natty is and how unique it is as a company I
couldn’t easily compare to any other male grooming company because of
how different and out there it is. Although the target audience isn't aimed
towards my age or social backing I would use this product because I think
that a lot of effort would be put into the product and they would be very
specialist.
Mr Natty is a company that sells male grooming products, it mainly sells
different types of hair products such as wax and clay but it really focuses on
moustaches which is unusual; moustaches are so rare these days and Mr
Natty, as a company, has only been out for a few years. I think that the
target audience for this brand is of grooming products is people around the
age of 20 and above. Mr Natty is quite a comical product with lots of
random features to the website and you can see that Matt Raine himself
has personalised the website as much as he could. Mr Natty is not sold in
your regular male grooming stores such as Boots and Superdrug which
means that it is also aimed for the more upper class traditional man which
fits in with the theme of the website. The packaging for the products looks
quite manic but at the same time its all set out nicely and is easy to read. Mr
Natty would be a lot more popular and would be able to widen its target
audience if was to advertise and sell its products in more common stores
although not doing so does make the brand a lot more authentic. The Mr
Natty website consists of quite neutral colours and uses wood so I will have
consider these things as well as the theme when making my point of sale
unit.

7. Logical
The L in Links FX stands for logical and it basically means that you have to think of all the logical aspects when designing something otherwise the point of
sale unit would most likely be useless. As I'm going to be designing a point of sale I will be basing it on that. when designing a point of sale unit It must
consider ergonomics otherwise it wont be any use to people that want to but the product that its advertising, it must be at eye level, positioned in foot fall
etc.. The design must contain all essential information like the brand and price so that the customer can look the product up if there interested. The point of
sale unit must stand out so that it draws the customer in, you can do this buy using lots of visual noises like bright bold colours and bright lights. You must
also be able to easily access the product from the point of sale because if you cant the customer isn't likely to look around further for it.
L Illogical
The I in Links FX stands for illogical, meaning that I have to think of everything illogical in a design so that I don’t make those mistakes. When designing a
point of sale you should consider how much text you use, you shouldn’t have too much because the customer will get confused and wont be as interested in
buying the product but you cant leave the branding out, it must contain at least the brand and price. Too much visual noise will drive away a customer so the
product and colour scheme should be simply. The point of sale and the product displayed should both be cost effective; the point of sale should be durable
I so that it will last and the product ;being advertised should be attached to the point of sale so that it is theft proof other wise the store will just loose money.
The Point of Sale shouldn’t have too many options other wise the customer will struggle to make their mind up and wont bother getting any of them.
Need
The N in LINKS FX stands for Need which means that you have to think of all the things that are 100% necessary in a point of sale otherwise it wont be any
good and people wont pay much attention to it and most certainly wont be likely to buy the advertised product. The most important thing about a point of
N sale display is that it attracts the customers attention or it would be any use as it won't properly do its job and sell the products I would do this by using a lot
of visual noise like bright lights and colour to attract the customers attention. I would also need my point of sale display to be slightly interactive so that it
will not only draw in the customers it will also hold the customers attention. I would have to consider how interactive it is otherwise the customers will
simply use the products and not bother buying them a good example of this is the apple store. The display that I will design will have to include the branding
and price as well as the company's colour scheme so that it will be clear that it is that brand and the customer will know what they are buying. But the main
K
thing I need to consider is making my point of sale unique so that it will stand out from the crowd and will attract a lot of customers.
Keep
I have looked at many point of sale units and I know that I need to keep a few key things and the main one is the brand and price so that people can
recognise the company that the product on display belongs to and it needs to fit in with the company previous advertisement so that they aren't getting
confused. Most of the point of sale displays out there use the products with in the display and this is another thing that I am going to keep because it’s a
S
really good feature and makes the display unit interact which is a really important feature on a display unit. I have also noticed on some display units that
they have not only the test product the also have the products on sale next to it which makes it easily accessible and I will use this in mine.
Scrap
On some of the display I have seen that they have a huge amount of text on them and although this may all be relevant its too much and will confuse the
customer which will drive them away without buying the product so I will be scrapping that and it wont be incorporated in my design. Most of the point of
F
sale units I have looked at are main made of cardboard I'm not going to do this with mine because its not a very durable material and it can also look a bit
cheap which would appeal to the customer and may even put the off of buying it.
Form Vs. Function
This is where the look of the display is compared to the function of the display, some point of sale displays look really good but they don’t work very well and
others are the other way round what I want to try to achieve wit my point of sale unit is achieving a really good form and a really good function so that it will
X
entice the customers with the form and keep them there with the function, both of these together will hopefully result in the customer buying the product
on display. I want the display to look really good so that the customer will have to come and look at it I will do this by making it look neat with a lot of visual
noise drawing the customer in, it will then have to show off the product and make it look really good and present it well so that it will hopefully make the
customer want to buy it.
X-Factor
The x-factor basically means that my unit will stand out from all of the other point of sale units and have something unique about it. Most point of sale units
are quite bland and haven't got a unique selling point but mine is going to have a special feature to it that makes it stand out from the crowd and really draw
in customers. I'm going to use high end materials in my point of sale rather than cardboard which will add to the aesthetics and make it look better, a
customer is more likely to go to a point of sale if it looks good and they are also more likely to buy the products. I will also include a feature like lights or a
speaker to draw attention and make it stand out from all of the others this would also give my point of sale unit the ‘x factor’.

8. Initial Specification Aesthetics: When I am designing my point of sale unit I will have to think of the characteristics of my brand so I will have to make sure
that it is in the style of Mr Natty meaning that it will be a quirky but traditional point of sale unit. Mr Natty’s colour scheme, in terms of
their website, involves very neutral colours like beige and brown but the actual products are silver, black and white with some vibrant
text, so I will have to consider both the website and the product when I am designing my point of sale unit. I think that all of these
colours compliment each other perfectly so I wont be changing this at all. I will have to involve Mr Natty’s symbolic moustache as it is a

Customers: My target audience would be people around the age of 20 and above that are in a certain social group. Mr Natty is a to make sales
company that bases all of its products to people around 20 and above in a social group called ‘Hipsters’, because of this I will be involving
elements that are linked with this target audience such as their clothing and music. Hipsters are usually dressed quite well which fits into
the traditional theme of Mr Natty’s website. As I am catering for a specific target audience I will have to think about ergonomics, I will
have to make sure that the product is easy to access so it must be at eye level and it must be easy to pick the product up, they should
have to open doors that are stiff or reach for back into a shelf. Mr Natty would also appeal to people with a moustache as one of this
companies main symbols is a moustache, moustaches aren't very common these days but Mr Natty is one of very few companies that
sell ‘moustache twizzle wax’
Environment: My point of sale unit would be placed in a retail store, Mr Natty doesn’t sell its products in major male grooming stores
like boots which means that my point of sale unit would be placed in a store like urban outfitters, a clothing shop that is a bit more
individual and would sell the kind of clothes a hipster would where meaning that It would be see by the correct target audience and
hopefully sell the product. This point of sale unit will have to have a fairly large amount of space on the shop floor so that it doesn’t look
smothered by other products on sale in the shop this way it will be clearly visible and attract attention form the potential customers
Safety: I will try to make sure that my point of sale unit is as safe a possible and there wont be a hazard to any potential customers or
any customers in the store. Firstly I will make sure that there are no sharp edges that any one can cut themselves on if they trip, I will
also make sure that the wire connecting the speaker/ television screen will not be a tripping hazard, it will also be out of sight so that it
doesn’t affect the aesthetical side of the display. I will also make sure that they products on sale will be securely in place so that they
wont fall in front of the customer and potentially trip them. If I make sure that my point of sale unit is safe then it will be a success.
Size: my point of sale unit is going to be quite big because it needs to be eye level with the potential customer, it will also have to fit a
television screen/ speaker so that I can give the potential customers information on the brand and the product that on sale. My point of
sale involves quite bland colour and therefore wont be very visible if it was small but because its going to be large It will be very
noticeable from a distant part of the store that its located in. if I was to have a small point of sale unit I don’t think it would have the
same overall effect
Function: to make my point of sale unit interactive I would like to have a television screen or speaker on the display to give the
customer some information on the brand Mr Natty and on the product that is on sale. This will be useful because it will give the
customer information with out them having to read and they can do so whilst looking at the product. It will also be good because it
would attract quite a lot of attention; this function isn't included in most point of sale units which make mine unique and interesting to
people that are in a shop.
Material: the materials that I use in my point of sale unit are going to be good quality and therefor quite expensive. I will be using woods
In my unit because they all have quite neutral colours and this fits into the colour scheme for Mr Natty, they are also a very durable
material which is good because you don’t want to have to make this product more than once per location. I will also use metal because
the actual products themselves come in small metal tins, this material is also durable and look extremely chic when they have had
finishes applied to them. I think that these materials can also look quite traditional which fits into the whole of Mr Natty’s advertising
theme.

11. Situation & Brief
Situation
I have chosen to design a Point of Sale unit for Mr Natty and during my research I have realised that there is a problem within the brand. This
problem that is they do not sell Mr Natty’s products in major retailing stores such as Boots and Superdrug. This is a problem because it
doesn't allow the company to widen its target audience and become a really popular brand although you could see this a s a problem you
could also say that it simply makes the product more exclusive and adds to the brands personality. This problem could easily be solved, the
product should be sold in major male grooming stores like bots and Superdrug so that it widens the target audience and therefore the
company will sell a lot more of their products and they will be a lot more popular than they are now. Another little problem is that they are
relatively expensive compared to other companies that sell male hair products such as lynx and L’Oreal, but this is understandable because
their products are very specialist and would have cost a lot to produce but they could still slightly reduce they price so that they are more
affordable, this would broaden their target audience and would even .
Brief
I have to design a point of sale unit for a brand of my chose, this point of sale unit must display some of the products the chosen brands
range. The point of sale unit must clearly display the brands name and preferably use the brands colour scheme so that potential customers
will not get confused. I will have to make the point of sale as good as I can so that it will hopefully sell the products as well as possible. I have
chosen to do my point of sale unit on Mr Natty which means that my point of sale unit will have to involve the Mr Natty logo and colour
scheme, it will also involve elements that represent some of Mr Nattys products. The display that I am going to create must interact with the
potential customers to draw them in. it must also stand out from all of the other units so that it will attract attention and sell the products, I
will do this by adding a lot of visual noise and it will be eye level for potential customers so that it is easily visible. This is the brief that I have
been given and this is how I will try to make the point of sale unit to sell the products to the best of my ability.

12. Mood This a mood board that I have made and it involves lots of images that remind me of Mr Natty and I
will use lots of the colours and theme within this to help me design my point of sale unit. Form the
mood board you can see that there are mainly neutral colours within the images and quite a
board traditional theme to it. One of the other main features to Mr Natty is Moustaches. Not many
companies sell products for your beard and moustaches but Mr Natty does, and it partially bases it
target audience on people with a beard and moustache.

13. Environmental Snapshot
As a company Mr Natty doesn’t sell products in Major retail stores such
boots but it does sell the male grooming products it stores like Urban
Outfitters. I could imagine people shopping in Urban Outfitters being the
kind of people that would buy Mr Nattys products because they would have
a similar target audience and are both quite quirky companies. Urban
outfitter sells quite smart clothes that are currently in fashion for different
groups of people and this is the same kind of target audience for Mr natty. I
could easily see a Mr Natty point of sale unit in Urban Outfitters because it
would fit in with the way that the shop is set out, it would also fit in with the
products that this company sells. Urban Outfitters sells relatively expensive
products therefore people that shop in there wouldn’t mind picking up a
pot of Mr Nattys hair products because it not majorly expensive and if the
point of sale unit was clearly visible in this store it would attract a lot of
attention and therefore sell a lot of the products.
I would imagine that Mr Natty would be sold in a few barbers
and hairdressers as Mr Natty originated from a hair dressing
company the product are very specialist. I could see the
product being used here but I don’t think I could see a point of
sale unit being point in a barbers or hairdressers unless it was
very small and sitting on a stand. Old fashioned barber shops
vividly remind me of Mr Natty as a brand due to all of its
advertising which is also very traditional. A barber shop like
these is where Mr Natty as a company would make a lot of
sales because the customers would be able to use it after their
haircut and see how good the products are and with the
quality of Mr Natty they would definitely buy it.

14. Customer Profiling
All of the things that are in the box on the top left hand corner are all of the typical thing that some wearing Mr Natty would have and wear. The main kind of
people wearing Mr Natty would be Hipsters, and all of the thing in the box are what hipsters would have and wear. I would guess that the people using this
product would be quite creative and most likely be interested in art or photography, I would imagine that they would have and use tumblr as this is what they
would post all of their images of photography on. They would most likely have a very nice and stylish hair style and that’s why they wear Mr Natty, because it’s a
very good hair product. The image at the bottom is the exact kind of person I would typically expect to be wearing Mr Natty, I would say this because of his hair,
clothes, glasses and also his moustache. i couldn’t think of any well known person that would wear Mr Natty except for Johnny Depp because he looks like the
kind of person that would wear it. He dresses the way I imagined Mr Natty customers would and he has a moustache which is a major feature of Mr Nattys but
he always wears a hat and his hair currently is too long to properly style.

15. Competitive Products
Expensive
Here I have compared some of Mr Natty’s competitive
products such as Fish Soho's wax and Dax Wax. I have
done this by plotting them onto a graph where the Y axis
is labelled Expensive meaning that I have to judge he
price of them and the X axis labelled modern meaning
that I have to judge how modern of traditional the
products are. I have learnt from this that MR Natty is in
the far top left hand corner because it is much more
expensive and traditional than all of the other products
on this graph. The price could be a problem but if
customers get to try it before hand they will be able to
see how good the quality is so they will be more likely to
buy it.
Modern Mr Natty, as far as wax is concerned Mr natty is quite an
expensive product at £14, it is also very traditional in
terms of packaging and branding which means that it is
placed in the top left hand corner. My natty aims its
products at 20 year olds and above hipsters, a social
group
Fish Soho, is about £6 in major retail stores like boots
which means that I put it in the middle of the top right
box because the packaging and product is also quite
modern even though the advertising is traditional. Fish
Soho's products are aimed at people around the age of
25 and above.
Dax Wax is very cheap in terms of male hair products it
only around £2 per pot. Dax wax is fairly modern and
these factors mean that it is put in the bottom right
square. Although this is really cheap it is a very common
product and is used widely by teens and above

16. Brand Profiling
Mr Natty is a very expensive brand of male grooming products, they mainly sell hair products such as Wax M
which is about £14. I doesn’t sound much but it is a huge amount compared to other hair products on the
market at the moment. Fish Soho also make a wax for men and they charge £6 per pot which puts Mr a
Natty at over double the price. So is Mr Natty a good enough product to charge that much for one pot of t
hair wax? t
Mr Natty is a company run by two men called Matt Raine and Matt Brooke, Mr Raine was originally a R
Barber and was fed up of male grooming products that weren't good enough so he and his business
partner created a whole new range, Mr Natty. He was actually a very experienced barber and had cut the a
hair of a few celebrities. He had a vision of creating a brand that was authentic and traditional but with a i
sense of humour so that it also had a sense of freshness to it. I believe that he has successfully achieved n
what he wanted, the product is quirky, authentic and traditional, it is also a very good quality wax which
means that it is most certainly worth the money. e
Mr Natty, as a company, are very traditional and it aims it products at hipsters, a social group of people
that share a liking in clothing and music. I know that its aimed at this group of people because there is a
caption under the tab blog on the Mr Natty website that says ‘Buy my Gum Hipsters’ referring to Mr
Natty’s gum hair preparation. This shows me that this is his target audience and it tells me a lot about the
kind of places that it would be sold.
Unfortunately Mr Natty doesn’t supply its products to major retail stores such as boots although this
means that they do not get as many sales and aren't as well known is sort of gives the company an
authentic feeling because its not a mainstream product yet still quite popular within a certain community.
As Mr Natty isn't sold in these common stores I haven't been able to find a point of sale unit for this
company, this is a problem because I cant compare an original one to what I am going to make and
therefor I cant see what I would need to improve from the one that Mr Natty has already made.
Mr Natty mainly sell Hair products such as wax and hair clay, but the most striking product that they sell is
‘moustache twizzle wax’ this is quite an unusual product to sell because moustaches are quite rare these
days but Mr Natty use the symbolic moustache for quite a lot of their branding, maybe because the
creator himself has one.

17. 10 Minute Observation
10 Minute Observation
I went to the Apple store in Blue water to do a 10 minute Observation
so that I could see how people used the products that were on display
and to see if they actually bought them or were just abusing the
facilities available. When I was there I discovered that most of the
people that entered the shop only used the products and didn’t
actually buy them, from this I have learnt that I cant make my point of
sale unit too interactive or people will simply use the products and
they wont get bought this isn't good because I wont make the
company and money and the point of sale unit will be a waste of
money. In the apple store they have lots of equipment out on display
for people to use and there are employees going around helping the
potential customers work the machines so I have decided that I will
have some kind of information on a television or through a speaker
informing my potential customer on the product they are going to buy,
this will be a good feature because it means that they will know about
the product without having to read about it saving them a lot of time
and effort. I will also make sure that I control how interactive my
display is, I will have the product out on display but I will not allow the
customers to abuse this and will limit how much of it is used. This
means that they can still try it to see if they like it but I wont be loosing
Mr Natty any money by giving away lots of there products for free. I
believe that I have learnt a lot from this 10 Minute Observation and
know what I can do to make my Point of Sale unit successful

18. Keep and Scrap
Keep Scrap
Here is a point of sale unit for Lynx mal Firstly I think that the point of sale unit isn't
grooming products. It is fairly good so I will be vibrant enough and wont be clearly visible in a
keeping many aspects of this display unit but shop full of f bright products. A good example
there are a few aspects of the design that I of this would be boots where they sell all sort of
would change. Firstly the branding and price is grooming products and this unit would stand
clearly visible on the display unit which means out in a shop like this. Another big issue with
that the customer wont have to try and find this point of sale unit is that it looks as if it is
out how much it is and loose interest it is made entirely of cardboard which means that
there in front of them. The product on sale is the unit wont be durable and may have to be
also easy to access with shelves put into the replaced after a few days of use. Using
display unit so that the potential customer can cardboard means that it would be easily
just pick up how ever many they want without destroyed by customer and just by being used
having to find them around the store. There is constantly. I don’t believe that this point of sale
a fair bit of information on the display unit unit is interactive at all which means that the
which may put the customer of off buying the customer wont be interesting in see how to
product so I wouldn’t put this much work the interaction or staying at the stand and
information on my point of sale unit there is buying the product which is obviously a
also a big picture of the product on the side of problem. These are the things that I would have
the display so that people will automatically kept and would have scraped from this point of
recognise what the unit is selling before they sale unit. I believe that I have learnt from doing
even get to it. Although these are all good this piece of marketing research and will be
point there are also a few bad points. able to learn from the mistakes and make mine
even more outstanding.
