C-star Upgrading to “China in-store”, Accelerating Retailers’ Development in China

Since its debut in China in 2015, C-star, the official satellite show of EuroShop has been dedicated to presenting store solutions with design thinking. As store design gains increasing prominence, more and more exhibitors (in-store solution providers) are exploring upstream and downstream industries to provide one-stop solutions. Given this trend, the organizer has consolidated the conventional FIVE exhibiting dimensions into TWO – in-store design and in-store solutions, and upgrading the show brand from C-star into China in-store (Shanghai Int’l Trade Fair for In-store Design & Solutions). The show will increase the presence of design firms and high quality in-store solution providers from shop fitting to retail technology. This reinforces the design advantages of the show and brings more inspiration to retailers.

New Exhibitor at a glance: Jump Display

Among the various studies on consumer purchasing behavior, there’s one conclusion that "about two-thirds of the customer's purchases at the sales are non-scheduled and one-third are planned ahead." That’s why POP advertising can not only stimulate the random purchase of customers, but also effectively accelerate the decisive purchases. Therefore conveying the value of goods through POP is always pivotal to the VMD Designer.
