§ The challenge

Paper Planes' SoHo store is built on a retro-inspired brand identity. A flat digital screen would have clashed with that world, the team wanted something with real character that fit the brand and gave shoppers a reason to look, and to share.

§ With Split-Flap TV

Split-Flap TV brings the iconic flip, and the click-clack sound, to a screen in the store, flipping brand messages and promotions. It has become an Insta-worthy focal point that blends nostalgic charm with a modern in-store experience.

§ What's on the board
  • Brand messages like "Greatness is a process"
  • Drop announcements and in-store promotions
  • Rotating lines that keep the window fresh
§ How they use it

The board sits on the wall of Jay-Z's Paper Planes flagship, the Roc Nation streetwear store, where the crowd already comes for the culture. Staff flip new messages and promos straight from a phone, so the display changes with the drop, the season or the mood of the floor, with no reprinting and no agency.

§ Could this work for your space?

If your brand lives on identity and footfall, a split-flap board gives shoppers a reason to stop, photograph and post, the kind of organic reach a static poster never earns. You get the same effect on a screen you already own, for the price of a coffee a week.
