Retail Visibility Design
Retail Visual Identity | Key Visual Development | POSM
Retail Visibility Design is about brand expression where buying decisions happen — at the shelf, at the point of sale, and within the retail ecosystem.
Whether you are launching a new Retail brand, redesigning your retail identity, or building POSM for national distribution, our retail design team brings together brand strategy, visual design, and shopper psychology to create high-impact retail experiences.
What this includes:
Retail Visual Identity
We translate your brand identity into the retail context. This includes logos, colour systems, signage, typography, imagery, and visual communication that work across:
- Store fronts & facade signage
- In-store branding and brand zones
- Retail packaging presentation
Key Visual Development
Your key visual is the hero expression of your brand within retail spaces — a visual story that draws attention and resonates with shoppers instantly.
Our key visual design methodology focuses on:
- Product context relevance
- Emotional triggers for buying motivation
- Clarity in message and offer communication
POSM (Point of Sale Material) Design
Point of Sale Materials influence last-mile decision making. We design POSM that:
- Improves visibility on shelf and counter
- Guides shopper flow and attention
- Communicates value propositions clearly
- Elevates brand recall at the moment of truth
Examples include posters, danglers, display units, hangers, wobblers, shelf strips, counter tops, digital screens, POP visuals and promotional collaterals.

The beauty about Almond Branding is that they conduct thorough research of the product category and present a holistic solution rather than a uni-dimensional one. Almond Branding has an agile team, whose understanding of the brief and business problem is very precise.

Almond Branding comes across as your friendly next-door agency. But don’t let that simplicity fool you! Having worked very closely with them on a new brand launch project, I can vouch for the brand design sense the team has. The core of a great design arises from the design thought/philosophy, which is the strength of Almond Branding. Of course all this is no good unless you have the technical understanding to translate the same into final output and that is yet another strong suite of Almond Branding. Great to have worked with such an enthusiastic team!
