How to Get Better POS Displays

When venturing into major shopping malls and outlets, chances are that you’ll be confronted with a bewildering array of POS (Point Of Sale) display stands that have been designed with only one goal in mind: to grab and hold the attention of customers who are moving around the retail outlet on a shopping trip.

Despite the rapid encroachment of digital gadgets and technology into the retail industry, printed POS display stands are still omnipresent in virtually every major store across the country. This is due to its vital role in creating brand awareness for new products and in helping prospective customers make purchase decisions.

120% Sales Uplift with POS Display

This is obvious in a recent study carried out by Nielsen that shows that 72% of public awareness for new products is driven by store activities such as the effective utilisation and deployment of POS units. Further research by Smurfit Kappa Zedek shows that deploying an in-store Point Of Sale unit that shows a 10% discount on a product will increase sales by 120% as opposed to a paltry 20% increase if the POS unit is not deployed.

POS display units are an integral part of the packaging and in-store marketing mix, and its most important function is to differentiate a product from its competitors. However, for brands to realise the full impact of in-store POS stands, they must be deployed effectively and strategically.

Although POS units look more or less the same than they did a few decades ago, there have been significant changes to the materials, form, size, design, and mode of deployment. Most of these changes are as a result of stringent guidelines introduced by the major retailers in consonance with their lean logistics chain.
