Invasion of the paper dolls: Nordic ID causes a stir at the Retail Business Technology Expo 2012 Friday, 16th March 2012
Nordic ID's stand at the Retail Business Technology Expo 2012
As the leading manufacturers of mobile computers and handheld terminals in Europe, Nordic ID decided to get creative at this week’s Retail Business Technology Expo, launching a demo with a difference.
To promote the group’s radio frequency identification (RFID) technology, Nordic ID let visitors get creative with cardboard cut-out dolls and outfit designs which were later featured on the firm’s Facebook site.
Speaking before the show, Mark Tailford, Managing Director, Nordic ID, said, “ As the leading experts in Europe for RFID we’ll be able to share all our experience and information in the RFID zone. Visitors will benefit from easy, understandable demos from fun people in a relaxed atmosphere. We decided to host the RFID Zone at Retail Business Technology Expo as it seemed like a very good event when we visited last year, and its focus on RFID was especially appealing to us.”
Retail Business Technology Expo and Cards & Payments Solutions ran from 13-14 March 2012 at London’s Earls Court. For more information visit http://www.retailbusinesstechnologyexpo.com/
