They’re eye catching, they’re innovative, and they’re intriguing. They’re called Point of Sale (POS) or Point of Purchase (POP) displays, and they are on the rise. POS displays are created daily to grab consumer attention and influence their buying habits. Many people are familiar with this concept, but most aren’t aware of the revenue these displays can bring into convenience stores, grocery stores, and gas stations – especially during the holidays. So, we decided to unveil some insights and statistics on holiday displays, sales, and POS displays.
Why Holiday Sales Increase
Food, beverage, and alcohol sales are known to experience a large increase during the holidays. There are likely many reasons for this rise in the market; there is an increase of social gatherings, consumers have more money as they’ve been saving for this time of year, there are limited-time offers that consumer’s can’t pass up, and there are incredible POS holiday displays that reel consumers in and help make a sale. Since consumers enjoy this time of year to treat themselves and others, it’s fun to get in the spirit with them and create a few POS displays.
Incorporating a POS Display for the Holidays
Designing and creating a POS holiday display is often a successful tool in closing a sale. POS displays are influential because they attract consumers with their look and visionary style. They can be as simple as table-top pieces showcasing smaller items near the register to eye-catching floor models that grab the attention from far and near. Often times POS displays also showcase a promotion, rebate, or limited-time offer. Holiday POS displays are very POSular for advertising new or limited holiday flavors of food and beverages. This sales method is repeatedly profitable for impulse buying, as 70%-75% of consumer decisions are made while shopping. Utilizing displays is an easier way to feature a product and brand that will not only sell to consumers, but will increase the likelihood that brand will stick with them.
