The Brief
POUND STORE RETAIL NATIONAL
High street retailer Pound Store wanted to give their identity a facelift. So they approached us to set the wheels in motion, both to create the new branding for all of their stores and to apply it. We were tasked to produce internally illuminated aluminium signage, as well as reverse-applied frosted logos and lettering for shop windows and doors. Double-sided foamex hanging signs were required for inside the stores, with projecting signage to the exterior.
Our Response
The client wanted a fast turn-around, so our fitting teams wasted no time in completing a comprehensive site survey, which included taking accurate measurements and photographs. With plenty of reference to hand, the design team could provide visuals for client approval and final artwork. The print and fabrication teams could then get to work bringing the concepts to life and producing
a high-quality finished product. From the creation of the initial brand guidelines to final sign off took no more than 10 days.
Construction
Technical specification included:
• Aperture-cut 1050-grade aluminium fabricated returns using brakepress powder-coated RAL 5002
• Apertures backed with 3mm LED-grade opal 050
• 5-year guaranteed LED modules
• 12v converter transformers illuminating all apertures
Result
To date, five sites have been completed within a four-week rollout. We’re currently awaiting feedback from specially commissioned research groups before implementing a rollout for 2019.

The Brief
BARGAIN BUYS RETAIL NATIONAL
We were asked to create a new brand for a high street retailer, and after hours of brainstorming we came up with what is now the Bargain Buys brand. Once the brand had been established we were given three months to survey over 50 sites, then design, proof, manufacture and install signage for them all.
THE Response
As store opening dates had already been set, we needed to meet every single deadline in order to be successful. Thankfully, our highly efficient procedures ensured that everything ran smoothly with no hiccups along the way.
Construction
To date we have we have completed 65 sites for Bargain Buys using two different types of sign, either a flex box or aperture-cut pans.
Flex Box:
• 6m lengths of extruded aluminium
• Lengths power coated brand guidelines
• Painted lengths fixes together using corner brackets, back support, brace sections backed off with stucco aluminium sheet
• 5yr guarantee module LED’s
Aperture cut pans:
• 10 50 grade aluminium
• Aperture cut on CNC router
• Fabricated using 3m break press, corners welded using MIG on pulse setting
• Panels powered coated to corporate brand guidelines colour with speciality finish
Result
As a result of completing so many sites nationally we have been able to build a strong working relationship with our client who has since asked us to produce all their print work, including posters and flyers.

DIGITAL SOLUTIONS
KEEPING IN SYNC WITH RECENT TRENDS IN TECHNOLOGY?
Digital Management Systems Single & Multiscreen
Advertising
At JMF Group we always like to keep our clients abreast of any innovative new developments to ensure we can offer them the very latest in signage solutions. Which is why we’d like to introduce our single and multi-screen digital management system.
Our digital screens can display over individual or multiple units and
have the availability to exhibit single graphics or use a multi-screen set-up to join numerous screens together, thereby displaying over a larger spread. And when a client utilises our digital screens they are assigned a dedicated account handler who manages everything from queries to asset control and scheduling.
The truth of the matter is, having digital screens offers you and your business a level of freedom and versatility which print often can’t.
For example, with JMF’s personalised online scheduling platform you can view your playback schedule, contact your account handler and upload new assets, all at the touch of a button. What’s more, our online scheduling platform is divided into time slots (which are dependent on your chosen price plan).
This platform provides a column for each day of the week, which is colour coded in your playlist into which digital display assets are grouped.
