Point of Sale Discipline
As a leader in dermatology, BIODERMA has built a reputation for scientific rigor and a medical approach to skincare.
However, ensuring this image is consistently upheld in retail spaces—where control is largely in the hands of retailers—presents a unique challenge.
Punch was entrusted with creating a set of Point of Sale (POS) standards that would preserve BIODERMA’s scientific image across every touchpoint, reinforcing the brand’s authority and trustworthiness in a competitive retail environment.
Challenge
BIODERMA is a brand highly recognized for its scientific and medical approach to dermatology. Maintaining its scientific image in every branding activity was essential, especially in the POS environment.
However, in the retail environment, the brand has less control as most aspects are controlled by the retailers.
Solution
Punch developed an exhaustive set of Standards & Guidelines that empowered BIODERMA to control its POS presence effectively.
The guidelines covered everything from the brand’s core principles and design rationale to specific application instructions for various retail settings.
This comprehensive approach ensured that every aspect of BIODERMA’s POS presence aligned with the brand’s scientific image, regardless of retailer influence.
Key elements included:
- Visual Language:
- Detailing BIODERMA’s signature clean and professional aesthetic, with instructions on color schemes, iconography, and typography to ensure a cohesive look.
-
- POS Application Standards:
- Detailed instructions on how the brand should appear in retail spaces, including shelf displays, promotional signage, and product placement.
-
- Trade Marketing Assets:
- Templates and recommendations for in-store marketing materials that maintained BIODERMA’s authoritative image and adhered to its scientific brand values.
This disciplined approach to POS branding gave BIODERMA a robust toolkit for maintaining brand integrity in retail environments, enabling the brand to communicate its values of precision and professionalism effectively.
Success
With Punch’s Standards & Guidelines, BIODERMA achieved a seamless and consistent brand experience in retail spaces, strengthening customer trust and distinguishing itself from competitors.
The guidelines empowered brand custodians and retailers alike to uphold BIODERMA’s scientific image, making it instantly recognizable and respected at the POS.
By reinforcing the brand’s scientific illustration, BIODERMA successfully protected its market position and further established itself as a trusted name in dermatology.
Through this collaboration, Punch helped BIODERMA set a new standard for POS discipline, transforming retail spaces into extensions of the brand’s commitment to science and quality.
