New Stores Popping Up in Times Square – And Beyond
To celebrate the official start of the holiday season, RadioShack will open two pop-up stores in New York's Times Square later this week. Located at 1441 Broadway (41st & Broadway) and 1565 Broadway (inside the former Roxy Delicatessen) in Manhattan, the two limited-time only locations feature a special mix of top brands, great gifts and top tech for travelers. RadioShack plans the pop-up stores to remain open through New York's hosting of "the big game" in February.
The new experience isn't limited to the company's pop-up stores, however; by the end of 2013 the company will have also made improvements to nearly all 4,300 U.S. stores. This includes more than 100 concept and brand statement stores, which feature bright, completely redesigned interiors and the new exterior signage featuring the new logo, which launched in July 2013. All of these improvements underscore the company's strides toward reinvigorating its stores, revamping its product assortment and repositioning the brand.
Helping Consumers "Tech the Halls" This Season
RadioShack stores nationwide will get into the holiday spirit the week of Nov. 4 with holiday window graphics, in-store displays and new product assortment – including the season's hottest RC vehicles, many of which are RadioShack exclusives – such as the return of the company's XMODs custom RC cars. Be sure to check out newly configured displays highlighting in-demand mobile brands, as well as new headphone demo stations where consumers can find and compare leading brands like SOL REPUBLIC, Skullcandy and Beats by Dr. Dre.
Advertising throughout the holiday season will carry through the "Tech the Halls" theme and showcases technology being used in fun, creative ways to celebrate with family and friends. RadioShack even created its own "Tech the Halls" remix of the beloved "Deck the Halls" carol using sounds from the tech products found on RadioShack's shelves.
TV ads are set to begin airing Nov. 10, with digital banners and custom online creative, mall advertising and mobile activations running throughout November and December.
