HP Designers Lab
Planning and operation of a large printer experience-based showroom in Aoyama, Tokyo

Challenges and Solutions: Innovative products don't have to sell just ads. Clarify the mission and produce results in event planning.

 A large printer whose sales have been increasing overseas as the next main product of desktop inkjet printers. There was a consultation about what to do in order to be recognized and sold in Japan as well. How can you accept the strong points that can be used even though it is a large print? As a persona, the first thing that comes out is the designer. Next is the super manager. lost. Ultimately, we propose to let users experience for themselves what kind of benefits printers in this category will bring. This epoch-making hands-on lab was designed to train early adopters.

A plan to actually introduce various expected target users, rent out equipment for a short period of time, and interview at a later date. Received the Nikkei MAC Advertising Award. In 1996, when we couldn't easily produce large-format output in terms of cost and quality, we made a presentation at a later date from the viewpoint of "the importance of actual experience", and the following "HP Designer's LABO" was realized.

Produced in 1996

We made a plan for how to attract customers and use 5 printers without any gaps with the limited opening for 3 months.

We have gone through the pre-stage to train a companion lady who understands the operation method and can explain the equipment and an engineer who can talk with professionals about technical aspects such as the mechanism of inkjet.

In addition, the procedure for direct call operations and complaint handling has also been made into a manual. I posted the actual output of this printer by holding down the medium of the poster posted on the station of the main station in Tokyo. Advertise in target magazines. The result was full for 3 months. In addition, we asked for coverage in a wide variety of media and were featured in many magazines free of charge. As a result of the echo, large printers have come to be recognized and used in Japan. Customers in the same industry have also been visiting with great interest.
