An on-shelf point of purchase display is any advertising material attached on the shelf to stimulate sales, encourage impulse buys, and improve product visibility within the retail environment. Examples are shelf banners, wobblers, and talkers. Shelf frame is another example that we always see in retail stores. This type of POP display offers your company a lot of room for creative branding. Take a look at this example by the brand Simply. We came across this simple, yet effective display at a grocery store in the Philippines.

Why this On-Shelf Point of Purchase Display Works?

Informative

The shelf frame features their social media accounts and the benefits of this particular cooking oil. The display says “Great for Frying” and “Good for the Heart.” It contains essential information that is not usually found on the packaging. This is an ingenious call-to-action that really works. Those who are satisfied with the product may want to leave a review or recommend them to their friends.

Sets Brand Apart

The blue cardboard frame was an interesting little touch on the shelf. It makes the products pop as it creates an eye-catching color contrast. Because of this on-shelf marketing display, it has become easier to find this particular brand.

Creates an Immediate Call to Action

Without the frame, the bottles of cooking oil will just be another item on the shelf. But the frame diverted our attention toward the products and away from its competitors. It creates an immediate call to action that is hard to ignore. In addition to that, their social media accounts are also posted on the frame so that customers may be enticed to check out their online page.

Visibility

When faced with rows of similar-looking products, buyers tend to buy products that easily catch their attention. I did take one of these cooking oil bottles simply because I felt the display had made an impact on me. The products were located in the back with less foot traffic, so adding the frame was a smart way to make that section of the store livelier with a pop of color.

 

Our Key Takeaways…
