SAN DIEGO, August 13, 2007 – A new type of indoor sign is grabbing attention from retailers and their customers: LetterLED signs are comprised of letters inset with bright, low-voltage light-emitting diodes (LEDs).

“LetterLED signs are bright from a distance both day and night. This increased attention helps attract customers and can boost sales,” said Jeff Grant, president of online retail design and store-fixture firm TRIO Display, which is now offering the innovative signage system.

The versatile letters and numerals are made of impact-resistant acrylic components and lighted with bright LEDs. Available at www.triodisplay.com/letterled, TRIO offers an array of designs in letters, numbers, and dollar and cent symbols. Letters are available in four vibrant colors – red, amber, blue and green.

LetterLED signs can be assembled for use as:

• Informational signs
• Directional signs
• Freestanding signs
• Wall-mounted signs
• Window signs

Assembly and installation of each sign is easy. Plastic vertical spacers hold the frame’s thin stainless-steel horizontal rods. The 5-inch-high letters and numerals snap on in seconds, as does the safe, low-voltage power connection. The AC power supply plugs into any regular power outlet. The message can be changed as quickly as it was assembled.

Letter LED signs can be mounted on the wall with screws, or suspended from the ceiling with the chain included in the LED Letter sign kit. No additional support is needed for these lightweight signs.

Retailers can order as many letters and numerals as they need to complete a specific sign. Prices for individual letters and numerals range from $23 to $28. Sign kits are $15 to $20 and power supplies are $20.

SAN DIEGO, August 8, 2007 – San Francisco 49ers football fans who park at Monster Stadium won’t have to go far to buy their team jerseys, hats, signed memorabilia and foam fingers. The new 49ers team store has opened right in the stadium parking lot, just in time for exhibition season.

TRIO Display of San Diego designed and outfitted the interior of the novel 2,000-square-foot store in a tent-like exo-structure.

“We didn’t have a walk-in location, and we wanted to improve the fans’ shopping experience,” said 49ers Operations Manager Scott Justice. He had seen projects TRIO designed for the New York Yankees and San Francisco Giants, and asked TRIO to work on a layout for the new 49ers store. TRIO also designed NFL team stores for the Seattle Seahawks and the Chicago Bears.

“Our design team, using plenty of gold, cardinal red, and black – the team colors – plotted an aggressive layout optimized for speed of service,” said Jeff Grant, president of the online retail design and store-fixture firm. “We included six POS stations fronted by a two-level build-out combining acrylic bins to hold impulse buys and programs.

“Slatwall anchors the wall displays. The client chose slatwall for its flexibility – ready-made slatwall accessories are available for apparel, gifts, books, jewelry, housewares and more in many different finishes. The design team chose a wood-tone Formica finish in Vosges Pear, a medium-brown that goes well with gold.”

Bumped-out columns break up the broad expanse of slatwall to create interest, Grant said. A custom video display sits at one end of the lozenge-shaped store – the monitor rests on a glassed showcase featuring video products.

To keep the floor display lively, the design team plotted a mix of gondolas, pinwheels, and nested tables (in powder-coated black) finished in the team colors. Track lighting with metal-halide bulbs spotlights (for efficiency, longevity and color rendition) feature products, while low-bay lighting does the heavy lifting with the ambient light. From start to finish, the 49ers project took just three months to complete, Grant said.

“Now fans can get pumped up for a game by buying their team items before they enter the stadium, or after the game on the way back to their vehicles,” Grant said. “The traffic flow in the store makes it easy for them to browse and buy without facing long lines.”

SAN DIEGO, July 25, 2007 – From battery-powered portables to cash-wrap workhorses with departmentalized sales reporting, the new selection of cash registers from TRIO Display can handle the cash-management needs of any retailer.

“Furthering our goal of being a one-stop source for all retail merchandising needs, we’ve added a lineup of state-of-the-art cash registers plus a selection of register paper rolls, ink rolls and ribbons at economical prices,” said Jeff Grant, president of the online retail design and store-fixture firm.

At the low end, the portable, battery-operated Royal 115CX is ideal for flea markets, farm stands, vendor carts, arts and crafts shows, kiosks or anywhere electrical hookup is unavailable or costly.

At the high end, the Casio PCR-T2000A Premier features a high-speed, two-station silent alphanumeric thermal printer that delivers 13 lines per second. Designed for high-volume businesses, it gives retailers the ability to issue receipts and keep a running journal of the days’ transactions.

“The cash register is the foundation of any cash-management system,” Grant said. “No store can operate properly without one. Our volume pricing on registers and supplies makes it easy for any retailer to afford these business essentials.”

SAN DIEGO, May 31, 2007 – A new selection of fireproof/waterproof safes, dropboxes and depository safes is available online from retail design and store-fixture firm TRIO Display.

“Statistics show that if a company’s records are lost in a fire, 17 percent can no longer furnish a financial statement, 14 percent suffer a reduction in credit rating and 43 percent go out of business completely,” said TRIO president Jeff Grant.

Priced from $130 to $1,490, the safes from Honeywell, Protex and Gardall provide tamper-proof security with electronic, combination and key locking systems. All safes can be ordered online at www.triodisplay.com/safes or by calling 800-454-4844.

“If you have to think about how secure your business’ vital records are, they aren’t safe enough,” Grant said. “Our new safes protect important financial papers and items from water damage, fire damage and theft. They also protect cash and checks on a daily basis. Keeping them in a safe is better than leaving them in a cash drawer that might tempt would-be robbers as well as employees.”

TRIO offers the following safes:

- Dropboxes come in three sizes and are available with a combination lock, dual-key lock or a digital keypad. A sawtoothed baffle prevents “fishing” by would-be thieves and protects the drop slot.

- Waterproof firesafes are available in two sizes and contain a seal to keep contents dry, are U.L. classified to protect valuables in a 1,700-degrees fire for up to one hour, have pry-resistant concealed hinges, and include shelves, hanging key/accessory rack and a storage pouch on inside of door.

- One-hour-rated firesafes are available in two sizes and are U.L. classified to protect valuables in a 1,700-degree fire, come with a no-moisture/dry-fill guarantee, a spy-proof combination lock, emergency-access override key, heavy-duty steel hinges, an adjustable shelf and mounting kit.

- Two-hour-rated firesafes in five sizes are U.L. classified to protect valuables in a 1,850-degree fire, and come with a changeable-combination lock. Some feature a plush-carpeted quality interior to protect jewelry and valuables.

- Depository safes are designed to protect money collection where immediate deposit is required. Available in two top-loading and two front-loading models, each has a Class B insurance rating. Deposits can be made into the safe while the door is locked. A baffle design prevents contents from being removed through the entry opening. Safes come with a changeable-combination lock and an adjustable shelf.

SAN DIEGO, May 14, 2007–Water displays–one of the coolest trends in retail store design–are making quite a splash for customers of retail design and store-fixture firm TRIO Display.

“Water displays have evolved from short, bubbling panels into a new era of creative shapes such as pyramids, CD towers, tables, lamps and etageres,” said TRIO president Jeff Grant. “They’re filled with thousands of colored bubbles that support and illuminate retail merchandise.

“Water fountains and water features are cost-effective design elements that will enhance any retail space, restaurant or office. The negative ionization of moving water has long been known to improve mood and attitude while the soothing sound buffers the often-noisy retail environment.”

The water displays in TRIO’s online catalog are attractive, easy to maintain and can be customized for any particular need. All are fully self-contained and built to provide years of maintenance-free service indoors or outdoors. Prices range from about $125 for small displays to $10,000 for elaborate custom-made displays.

Most models house internal components within a black acrylic base, such as air pumps, light fixtures and interchangeable color filters. Downward lighting is provided within the header of some models.

To view TRIO Display’s large selection of water displays, visit www.triodisplay.com/water. To talk to a customer service representative, call 800-454-4844.
