STORE DESIGN
In the field of retail development, Charles Banfield Productions provides a truly specialized service. We
become involved at the point of conception and consult on traffic flow, fixtures, and display. We work with
the architect, designers, and the client to develop an overall texture and style of venues. In this manner,
we have assisted Disney Regional Entertainment in the creation of their ESPN Zone stores and the Disney Quest
Emporiums.
During construction, we work with the client to make final selections of product assortment. On site, we train
the new staff on basic merchandising techniques, company standards and team building. We style product
throughout the store, creating displays for cases and windows, and assist the client through the opening.
The Mars Candy Corporation utilized these services for the design of their M&M's World Store in Las Vegas.

In more recent years, Charles Banfield has worked as a design consultant in the renovations of newly-acquired
shopping malls throughout the United States for the Westfield Corporation. Working from style guides and
blueprints, Banfield advises contractors for the Westfield Shopping Towns on ways to soften architectural
lines and stylize the overall public areas and food courts. Completed construction projects can be seen in
Washington DC and throughout the state of California.
PRODUCT STYLING & VISUAL MERCHANDISING
Charles Banfield Productions is a creative leader in the art of product styling and visual merchandising. Our
retail clients utilize us to create windows and displays and remerchandise their sales floor, either to
introduce new products, refresh the existing inventory or to fashion special seasonal designs.
In come cases, as with the Ethel M Chocolates stores, we are the "regional visual merchandising" arm of the
company and provide visual presentation guidelines for local markets to uphold, making periodic visits to the
stores to insure company standards are being maintained.

TRADESHOWS
In the tradeshow setting, Charles Banfield Productions conceives, designs, and contracts the construction
of tradeshow booths varying in size from 100 to 4,000 square feet, with heights ranging from 8 feet to 30
feet tall. We coordinate every step of the process for our clients -- shipping, drayage, set-up, rentals,
plants, permits, tech equipment, and countless other elements that comprise a tradeshow set.
Franklin Mint took advantage of our services for the International Collectibles Show in Chicago. The challenge
here was to create an impactful display with masculine appeal for their die-cast car collection.
We worked with Living Arts to create their booth for Super Show in Atlanta, in addition to our longstanding
relationship with Disney Consumer Products, creating their biannual presence at MAGIC in Las Vegas and
JPMA in Dallas.
Not only consumer product shows, recently Charles aided in the development of tradeshow
impressions for Contessa Premium Foods, Inc. at the International Boston Seafood Show
(IBSS) and the FMI Show in Las Vegas for food manufacturers.
