CWS Towel Dispensers as New Advertising Medium in Washrooms

Financing designer fixtures in washrooms through advertising

Duisburg, 09 September 2009. The towel dispensers in the washroom dispenser series CWS ParadiseLine can now be used as an advertising medium. The exchangable front panels can be fitted with individual image or text motifs, and thus be used as a new and efficient form of external advertising. Users of public washrooms spend several seconds drying their hands, during which time they will have guaranteed contact with the advertising message conveniently placed at eye level. Companies and public institutions which make their dispensers available to advertisers, profit from favourable and yet modern fittings in their washrooms. Up to 100% of the monthly rental, service and maintenance costs for the dispensers can be refinanced in this way. Washroom operators could even obtain profits using the advertising concept.

CWS-boco are one of the leading suppliers of professional washroom hygiene solutions and textile services on subscription basis. With their CWS ParadiseLine, they are the first manufacturer worldwide to offer towel dispensers whose front panels can be completely customised. The dispensers are ideally suited to place individual texts, images and campaign motifs and thus represent a completely new advertising format. It is also possible to place signs with individual messages to customers, guests and employees as well as to adapt the front cover to match Corporate Design.

Frank Radinic, Head of Marketing at CWS-boco International GmbH says, "With their ParadiseLine, CWS-boco has revolutionised sanitary facilities. On the one hand, companies have gained a completely new platform of communication which far surpasses conventional advertising media as far as reach, contact quality and efficiency are concerned. On the other hand, the high-quality washroom fittings can be almost completely refinanced by making the dispensers avaialable as advertising space.“

Effective advertising in the washroom

This type of advertising allows a specific addressing of target groups, for example through gender-specific separation of men and women or focus on a certain geographic region. When washing hands, each guest has several seconds of guaranteed contact with the advertising message placed at eye level. Perception is not visually impacted by other advertising. It therefore contributes to the advertising effect and minimises wastage.

Distinguished design and flexible rental service

The innovative washroom dispenser line CWS ParadiseLine was developed in cooperation with the Munich-based designer Jens Pattberg (brains4design agency) and awarded the international red dot product design award in 2009. The design of the dispenser line incorporates current trends in product design and architecture, and fulfils increased demands placed by many companies on quality, hygiene and design. In addition to the option of customising the front covers – e.g. according to the coporate design or with your own images and texts – washroom outfitters may also choose from eight standard front covers.

As with all CWS-boco solutions, the new washroom dispenser series is offered as a complete system on subscription basis. All dispenser components are harmonised and are installed and maintained by CWS-boco. The service spectrum also includes competent customer advising as to the appropriate washroom fittings and customised dispenser designs.

In addition to cotton towel dispensers, the CWS ParadiseLine also includes soap and fragrance dispensers as well as toilet roll holders, for which there are also eight various panel options available.
