Perception Kayak

Upsell shoppers without treading water.

Client Brief

As a key brand of kayaks, Perception is known to paddlers everywhere for its premium features and wide range of accessories. But lower-priced brands dominated the assortment and sales at Dick’s Sporting Goods. Our challenge was to upgrade shopper preferences to premium Perception features while earning greater in-store presence and improved margins for the retailer.

850 Dick's Sporting Goods Stores

With a large amount of floor space devoted to kayaks during peak seasons, Heinzeroth developed a new point-of-purchase strategy and content including free-standing display with flip chart, take-home product brochures and on-boat labeling to guide shopper selection toward the Perception brand. The strategy increased inventory and sales at 850 Dick’s Sporting Goods stores.

03 "Truth Labels"

We created a visual system for shoppers to compare the value of Perception kayaks versus their competitors. These “Truth Labels” applied to the boat provided a quick comparison of premium features such as comfort, stability, safety, durability, innovative design details, and the shopper’s intended use, such as lakes, streams, ocean, or other waters.
