Point-of-Purchase (POP) Marketing: Make Every Checkout Count

Point-of-purchase (POP) marketing influences customer decisions at the moment they’re ready to buy. Done well, it delivers targeted messages when shoppers are most receptive—in-store or online—and turns consideration into conversion.

Why POP Marketing Matters

  • Immediate Impact: Shoppers often finalise choices in-store; clear, well-placed displays help seal the deal.
  • Enhanced Visibility: Eye-catching displays draw attention and encourage impulse purchases.
  • Customer Engagement: Hands-on experiences make products more appealing and memorable.

High-Impact POP Display Ideas

Start with a versatile hero piece such as a fabric pull-up banner at store entrances or next to key ranges—compact to store, fast to set up, and big on impact. For permanent focal points, a curved backdrop like the Legend Curved Banner Wall frames promotions beautifully and photographs well for social content too.

If you run frequent promos, rotate messages with premium stands such as the Champion Fabric Pull Up Banner or a layflat option like the Ovation Layflat Pull Up Banner to keep edges crisp and graphics flawless under store lighting.

For aisle ends, forecourts, and pop-up activations, pair indoor displays with flexible outdoor units: the easy-to-transport Flexi Disc Pop-Up Banner springs open in seconds (great for weekend promos), while tall sail-style formats like the Harp Banners Econo (Double-Sided) lift your branding above busy spaces and guide foot traffic to offers.

Placement That Sells

  • Eye-Level Wins: Place feature signage at eye level near hero products or bundles.
  • Power at Endcaps: Use end-of-aisle displays (with a pull-up or backdrop) to spotlight limited-time deals.
  • Queue Influence: Add a compact banner near checkout to nudge last-minute add-ons.

Cross-Marketing That Increases Basket Size

Combine complementary items in one sightline: pair grilling tools with sauces beside a promo banner; position running socks next to shoes beneath a striking curved wall; or draw attention to new flavours with a portable pop-up banner and tasting station.

Messaging Made to Convert

  • Be Clear & Specific: Lead with the benefit (“Save 20% today”), then the action (“Scan & pay at till”).
  • Keep It Short: 5–7 words for the headline; one supporting line is plenty.
  • Make Prices Obvious: Big numerals, simple contrasts (dark on light or vice versa).

Quick POP Checklist

  • One focal banner per zone (avoid clutter).
  • Consistent colours and typography with your brand CI.
  • Lighting: ensure your graphics read well from 3–5 metres.
  • Rotation plan: refresh artwork monthly or per campaign.
