VAST: Why we’re your go-to partner for retail AV

We wrote before about why we decided to specialise in AV for the retail industry, rather than being a one-size-fits-all AV company. In 2022 alone, we completed over 150 projects and have stuck true to our vision of serving the retail sector with all of its audio visual and sensory technology requirements. Here are some of the other reasons why we’re your go-to partner when it comes to AV hire for retail.

1. Recommended digital screen supplier to Harrods

We are very proud to be a recommended digital screen supplier for Harrods. This means we are trusted by Harrods both for its own store window displays, and recommended as a screen provider for any brands requiring screens in store.

2. Custom solutions for creative retail briefs

Retail brands are often the most experimental when it comes to creative ways of showing new products. This is why we often support our brands and agencies with a completely custom AV solution, designed for each individual brief.

For Viktor and Rolf’s recent launch we used 3D printing to house a laser inside a crystal ball, which was used to trigger a random fortune projection, in this case when the visitor put their hands above the ball as if to let their fortune be told.

This type of custom solution is second nature to us and we’re always excited to work with our clients on innovative solutions using various audio visual products.

3. Proven retail credentials

We are unique in our experience of implementing audio visual technology for the retail environment, with an award-winning team and proven credentials working for a huge span of retail brands and stores. Across the UK, we’ve helped provide AV hire for everyone from high street chains to some of the world’s most iconic beauty and fashion brands.

We recently supported Next with their first ever digital window campaign of LED screens across 23 UK stores and have worked with brands like Tom Ford, Paco Rabanne, Charlotte Tilbury, Sweaty Betty, Parfums Christian Dior, Louis Vuitton, Prada and more.

4. High-end, personal service

We provide a personal service and have a team who are specialists in the retail sector. Our clients trust us completely with the technical part of their project, giving them the space to focus on the overall design.

We want our clients to get value out of the solutions they choose, whether that’s high visibility, strong footfall, ROI analytics or shareability on social media. Ensuring we have the latest, high-end audio visual fleet that’s applicable to retail environments is really important to our vision of being the go-to retail AV partner.

Knowledge and experience working in retail stores and centres week-in, week-out across the busiest retail periods also gives us innate experience in how to install the technology you need to bring your vision to life.

The fact that our clients use words such as “communicative”, “adaptable”, “extra member of the team” and “technical experts” makes us proud of the service we provide to all of our retail clients.

If you’re a retail brand or agency we’d love to support your ideas with the latest audio visual and interactive technology. Get in touch with the VAST team to find out more.
