Sales Sparks: Ignite Your Revenue with Point of Sale Displays

13/05/24

Over 70% of purchasing decisions are made in-store at the point of sale, according to POPAI. We want to encourage you to take advantage of this statistic and influence your customers even further, by using effective point-of-sale displays. When well-designed, the best point-of-sale displays can encourage impulse buying and massively boost sales.

Understanding Point-Of-Sale Displays

Point-of-sale (POS) displays are promotional materials or fixtures strategically placed near the checkout area of retail stores to attract customers’ attention and encourage additional purchases. These displays can include items such as product stands, hanging signs, posters and countertop displays.

POS displays are crucial for several reasons

They increase impulse purchases, promote new products, or offers, enhance brand visibility, maximise space utilisation, encourage cross-selling and up-selling, create a memorable shopping experience and facilitate seasonal promotions.

This sales promotion is aimed to steer the attention of customers towards specific or discounted products. With an on-brand design and strategic location, POS selling can make a significant difference in how much your customers spend per visit. Our advice would be ‘GO BIG’ – There are multiple opportunities to maximise your display.

  • Floor displays – We offer a range of self-adhesive, anti-slip laminate floor graphics that can be applied to a variety of floor surfaces.

  • Free-standing display units – These are an innovative way of showcasing your chosen materials.
  • Hanging signs – These can be used as directional signs or to promote a specific event or price point.

Designing Effective Point-of-Sale Displays

Before designing your point-of-sale display, it is important to understand your consumer’s behaviours and decision-making. We want to figure out what influences their buying and how we can tailor the displays to encourage any sales.

The design element may be the final stage of the process, but it is certainly important.

Some things to consider:

  • Good-quality images that create a sense of emotion or connection with the consumer.
  • Materials or surfaces that encourage consumers to touch.
  • Simplicity: Sometimes less is more when it comes to a POS display design.
  • Branding consistency: Keep it recognisable and relatable to your brand’s image.
  • Not everything has to be cut square. Shapes can be much more eye-catching.

Maximising Impact: Strategies for Success

Product placement can impact the increase in sales. For example, placing high-demand items along the natural path of customer flow can increase the likelihood of them being noticed and purchased. Items placed near checkout or in queue lines are often impulse purchases. These are typically lower-priced items or last-minute additions that customers may not have initially intended to buy.

Incorporating seasonal or promotional themes can boost effectiveness. Rotating displays to reflect seasonal trends, holidays, or promotions can keep the store up to date and encourage repeat visits. Seasonal displays capitalise on specific consumer needs throughout the year and create a sense of visual interest.

It can be very beneficial to use data-driven marketing in point-of-sale (POS) displays. In addition to influencing purchases, these offer insights into the interests and behaviour of their audience. By placing bespoke point-of-sale displays in high-traffic areas, knowing your target audience, and leveraging emerging trends, your company can fully utilise the potential of point-of-sale displays.
