“The bright colours really appeal to our market place.”

April 6, 2016

Pickard Properties are specialist land agents in the busy university city of Leeds.
Competition is fierce and Director, Denise Mc Ardle, wanted to create a boutique style office that would make them stand out from the crowd.

They work extremely closely with the students so their window and interior displays needed to talk to the students and young professionals.  After a discussion with the Fairfield specialist consultant, a design was created using the new colour changing light pockets which fitted their exact requirements.

“ The bright colours really appeal to our market place. Our objective is to get people to think what we do and this has worked really well for us.” A variety of different sized pockets have been positioned at different heights in the window and this has helped to make Pickard Properties stand out. The window has also been used to reflect marketing messages, like free-wifi, and other services. The colours of the posters are enhanced with the matching coloured light from the LED Light Pockets™”

“As soon as the installation was finished we have had a new client walk straight in. We now have people standing outside our window on a regular basis. We are using the window as a gallery space and plan to run different themes throughout the year. As we are highly active with social media, our window will reflect what’s going on.“

“ The Fairfield service has been very professional. I am really, really picky and only accept exacting standards. I can honestly say that Fairfield have been extremely professional.
The entire process ran smoothly and I must say that the installer was really nice and very friendly, worked extremely hard, he did not leave the office until 7 p.m.” Denise McArdle – Director
