BHC Chicken Client work at Advue Digital In-store posters

ArrivedCombos, prices and a lunch special MadePosters you can decide from in line

BHC is a fried chicken chain. The reader of anything I made for them is standing in a queue, hungry, deciding in a few seconds, often holding a phone. A price that isn’t instantly legible is a price that doesn’t get compared, and a combo that needs a paragraph loses to the one that doesn’t.

What arrived

Three offers, their prices, and a lunch window.

What came in were the offers themselves: an all-day platter marked down from $23, two lunch combos at up to 30% off between 11 and 4, and $5 off a first order placed online. Each one needed a surface a customer could act on without reading.

So the decisions were structural before they were decorative. Each surface got one job, and the layout was built around the few seconds it would get.

What I made

One job per surface.

The All Day Platter poster: the name at the top, the old price crossed out beside the new one, the platter below 1 2 3

The platter. The comparison is the message.

  1. 1The offer at the largest size on the page. From across the store it reads as two words.
  2. 2The crossed-out $23 sits right beside $17.99, so the saving is read, not worked out.
  3. 3The platter as it’s served, then what’s in it in small type, for the second look.
The lunch specials poster: the time window in the headline, two combos in identical modules below 1 2 3

The lunch specials. Two combos, identical modules.

  1. 1The time window sits in the headline, so someone walking in at three sees it before they read the food.
  2. 2Same photo treatment, same price position, same list of what’s included. The only variable left to weigh is the one that matters.
  3. 3“Up to 30% off” is said once. The crossed prices carry the rest of the message.
The half-letter flyer: Order here and enjoy, an arrow, $5 discount, and a large QR code 1 2 3 4

The flyer. From the counter into the app.

  1. 1A half-letter flyer by the register, with one instruction, “Order here & enjoy”, and an arrow that points at the code.
  2. 2One incentive, $5, set at the size of a price.
  3. 3A QR code sized to scan from arm’s length across a counter, not from a phone held up to a screen.
  4. 4The conditions in small print, where they belong. A handoff like this either works or fails silently.

Also for BHC

The same rules, in store and on Instagram.

Each piece keeps the brand consistent and changes its layout for the distance it will be read from: a wall, a counter, a phone.

What this demonstrates

A poster that doesn’t convert is a funnel with a drop-off.

  • Decision architecture under time pressure. What someone reads first is decided for them, in the order they need it.
  • Comparison design. Identical modules, so the eye only has to weigh the difference.
  • One primary action per surface. A single instruction, a single incentive, one thing to do.
  • A physical-to-digital handoff. Sized for the real distance, with the conditions out of the way. The diagnosis is the same as a funnel drop-off.
