Delray Beach, Fla.-based Office Depot Inc. recently announced a new in-store shopping experience that will provide customers with more options, better value and the ability to experience the product before purchasing. The Sharpie "Try and Buy" center is a new experiential shopping concept that includes a test center for customers to "doodle"; new, simple-to-read signage; a "tips" center with information on using Sharpie markers; and an assortment of 60 Sharpie products, available in 24 different colors. Sharpie permanent and dry-erase markers and highlighters are now arranged at point-of-sale in categories based on how they are used, making it easier for customers to find what they need. The marker section also will include a "what’s new" area that will make it simple for customers to locate new products.
