Currys Case StudyRetail Innovation 2026

Hitting the Bullseye at the Shelf Edge

In a high-energy category like Sports & Tech, a static price tag isn't enough. We brought the OmniDarts experience to the Currys aisle, turning a "silent" product into a 80-second immersive pro-demo.

The "Silent" Product Problem

In a massive retail environment like Currys, a dartboard is a "silent" product. Competition for attention is fierce, and static packaging cannot demonstrate the precision, aerodynamics, or the digital scoring technology of OmniDarts.

"Shoppers often walk past complex hardware because they can't 'see' how it works without opening the box."

Correcting the Retention Curve

While social media audiences drop by 70% in the first 3 seconds, MyPlayer maintains a 97% hook rate, carrying shoppers through the full 80-second brand journey.

Intent Distribution

Engagement at the shelf edge is intentional. Unlike social clicks, a QR scan on a physical product indicates a shopper at the point of decision. 82% of users displayed high buy-intent behavior after the 80s deep dive.

The Science of Stories

Why the Instagram-style interface is the most effective format for influencing technical decisions at the physical shelf edge.

60,000x Faster

Visuals are processed 60,000 times faster than text. For complex scoring tech, seeing is believing.

Chapter Reset

Breaking content into "chapters" resets the user's attention clock at every tap. No more mid-video drop-offs.

High Intent

Passive scrolling on social vs. product-in-hand engagement. Intentional clicks lead to sales.
