Point of Purchase Displays (POP Displays) have been boosting revenue for retailers for many years. They do so by increasing the amount of attention specific products receive when featured in them, and they also improve the shopping atmosphere in stores.
Now that videos can be included in them, they can be even more effective. With motion sensor capabilities and long lasting batteries that can be easily recharged, shoppers find them somewhat hard to ignore. On top of that, it is often the companies who manufacture products that can explain them better than retail store employees to prospective users. As a result, when consumers learn about products in videos from manufacturers, they often feel more confident about buying them.

Having owned an advertising magazine in Utah, I’ve worked in marketing for over twenty years.
I started writing for MediaFast in 2014. The first time I held one of their video brochures, I thought something like, “Wow! This blows away our magazine and any other print advertising I’ve ever seen. This is like a TV commercial, and I’m holding it in my hands. Amazing!”
Since then, video brochures, video mailers and video boxes have become leaders in marketing performance. It’s a privilege to write about them. I also love MediaFast—with its top-notch product quality, industry leading customer service, and all of the wonderful people I get to work with.
