Designphil's (known as Midori to many) Traveler's Notebook has been our top seller for a long time because of its aesthetics and top notch paper quality. For us, it is a pre-requisite for each of our stores to carry the wide product range. The look of the display however is not particularly pleasing or systematic. Designphil does provide some wooden and acrylic stands for the stock but that's all. I know the people there are sort of perfectionists, I can understand the dilemma wanting to promote the products but trying to avoid being too commercial.
In my last trip to Korea, I found that the distributor over there took extensive efforts to create good looking Traveler's Notebook corners in various shops. It was then I realized that we just didn't do enough. Well, as a buyer we are not required to do these sort of things, but I couldn't stand wasting a nice product range being un-noticed. So for the newly launched LOG-ON sore in Langham Place, I salvaged a few of my own stuff and glued them into a wooden box using hot glue gun. I love the look of it and I'm sure people like Traveler's Notebook would love it too.
In the box: rusted tin can for 135mm film, 110 film roll, Kodak camera, envelope holding hotel cards, Traveler's Notebook customized with leather charm, rusted brass pen, clips and ruler, bronze drawer handle with label, antique pen case, antique leather watch, Arlac dati, world map.
