Synergetic Media and STI Group Partnership

Expands EL Offerings Globally

EL Sign: Movement generates attention

The EL Sign from the STI Group is a groundbreaking new product offering illumination and
animation in advertising at the POS. EL is a thin, lightweight and flexible multilayer foil on
a phosphor basis that converts electrical energy into light without producing warmth.

The STI Group premiered its animated EL signs at the FachPack 2010. The units were
produced by Synergetic Media, a strategic partner with branches in the USA, Canada
and China. The new partnership, which gives the STI Group exclusive distribution rights
for Europe and Australia, provides customers of the STI Group with new options for
significantly increasing the impulse-buy impact of their POS campaigns. The key: the
integration of attention-getting illuminated and moving elements.

Studies in the USA showed a nearly 90% increase in sell-through for PIP displays,
compared with +39% for static displays. In addition, store managers have been shown
to position 88% of all illuminated and moving displays in primary promotional zones. By
contrast, 53% of static displays are placed in less attractive areas of the market.

Printing is available in 4/c in foil sizes ranging from label sized to large-scale posters. The
lighting animation can be individually programmed, with a battery or power plug providing
the necessary energy.

The mesmerizing effect of the "Hpnotiq" cult drink is perfectly staged by the illuminated,
animated poster. The rotating stripes draw the observer into the image and ensure lots of
attention at the POS. When the power is switched off, the upper portion of the poster
remains white, while the product remains on centre stage.
