Consumer Packaging & Display will be entering a variety of displays in POPAI’s Outstanding Merchandising Achievement (OMA) awards contest. This annual competition recognizes the most innovative and effective marketing at-retail displays and programs that lift sales and make products memorable and enticing to consumers.

Entries for the POPAI OMA Awards include:

Rand McNally-Harley Davidson Floorstand. This joint promotion by the motorcycle and road atlas brands was used in Harley Davidson dealerships and chain stores such as Target® to promote the 1st Edition Rand McNally-Harley Davidson Ride Atlas. Tray inserts clearly identify product features and benefits; steel poles provide support.	Raid® Outdoor Ant Spikes Sidekick/Floor Display. Utilized in chains such as Ace® Hardware, Kmart, Publix® and Safeway, the units were designed to meet a wide variety of space and situation requirements.
Tsingtao® Case Stacker Display. Featuring Lager and Pure Draft Beers, this display was designed to trigger impulse purchases and create brand awareness. The display’s economy of scale and “new” treatment of the traditional 5-case stacker allowed for greater placement in space-limited off-premise accounts.	Gates/CarQuest® Wiper Stand. A permanent wiper display that is being used indoors and outdoors at service stations to increase impulse sales. Compact, weatherproof and mobile, the unit ships fully assembled and allows for viewing of the product while the display door is closed and locked.
Bose® Two-Sided SoundDock/TriPort Headphone Display. This merchandiser provided maximum exposure for a newly launched product while creating additional branding impact. Displays arrived packed-out with a product assortment that instantly boosted incremental sales.	2006 DaySpring® Christmas Display Program. This cohesive display program for Christmas-related products ensured that all displays would be manufactured with the same overall color, quality and structural characteristics. Durability, ease of assembly, a “family look” and modularity were all achieved on a limited budget.

Walgreens® 2006 Holiday Fragrance Bar Signage Program. This program advertised various fragrances and hair care products, triggering impulse purchases during the holiday season. The visual combination of holiday and brand imagery created a powerful visual tool, enhancing impulse and destination sales.
