The Project in Detail
Carlyon Bay Beach Shop faced a common challenge in the competitive beachside business – how to differentiate itself and create an appealing atmosphere for its customers. The management wanted to offer more than just food and beverages. They aimed to provide a comfortable and welcoming seating area, sheltered from the sun and wind, while also reinforcing their brand identity.
South Westerly partnered with Carlyon Bay Beach Shop to create a cohesive set of branded deckchairs, windbreaks, and parasols. These items were designed to not only provide comfort and protection but also to make a strong visual impact, attracting and engaging beach visitors. Key features of the products included:
Coherent Branding: The deckchairs, windbreaks, and parasols featured eye-catching and consistent branding that reflected the beach shop’s identity. The shop’s logo and color scheme were integrated into the design, reinforcing the brand presence on the beach.
Quality Materials: South Westerly used high-quality materials to ensure the durability of the equipment in the challenging beach environment. This not only enhanced the customer experience but also reduced maintenance costs.
Functional Design: The deckchairs were designed for maximum comfort, the windbreaks for protection from the coastal breeze, and the parasols for shade. This focus on functionality improved the overall experience for beachgoers.
