Highlighting design and safety: Q2 Power targets travellers and distress purchases

“Within the tech and gadgets category, travel adapters are, simply put, a must for retailers,” said Blueprint Partner Thomas Kaneko Henningsen.

“As seasoned travellers, we all know that feeling of forgetting mission-critical things when travelling and adapters fall into that category. (They are) so easy to forget and such a painful experience when we can’t charge our devices and we can’t connect to the world.”

Henningsen noted the power of gifting and impulse to prompt purchases in travel retail. He also underlined distress purchases as another “powerful and irresistible motivational factor”.

“In a market place that it is notoriously crowded with travel adapters in all sizes, shapes and qualities, Q2Power stand outs because they combine patented design and Red Dot Design Awards with a commercial look and feel.”

Henningsen described Q2Power as a “best-in-class product which prioritises safety”.

The brand’s adapters meet international IEC (International Electrotechnical Commission) and national regulations.
