Point of purchase displays, also known as POP displays, attract the eyes of shoppers. As a result, they increase sales and improve the overall shopping experience.
In retail settings is where they work their magic by persuading shoppers to make impulse purchases or by getting them to try something new. Sometimes they keep shoppers in stores longer, and they do a great job of helping specific products stand out from competitors.

There are many different types of POP displays that can be used to showcase products. The following list briefly describes some examples:

POP displays attract the eyes of shoppers and keep them in stores
In retail settings, proper placement of POP displays is critical for success. For this reason, it is important to place them in areas where they’re likely to be seen often by shoppers. For example, they tend to be the most effective around check-out stands and at the end of aisles. With this in mind, as long as they are located in logical locations, an increase in sales tends to result.
Furthermore, the more interesting messages consumers have to look at and read while in stores, the longer they tend to stay. The longer they stay, the more likely they are to make impulse purchases.
Effectively, POP displays provide retailers with a great opportunity to retain the attention of consumers interested enough to be in their stores. With them in place, retailers can ensure more buying decisions are made by people shopping in their locations and more revenue should result.

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.
