The UK retail market might be showing signs of stagnation, with February sales figures coming in flat at 0% [ONS data]. This follows a positive January (3.6% growth) and suggests a cautious spending environment. But for retailers, this doesn’t have to work against them. In fact, it’s a prime opportunity to make use of in-store displays to grab customer attention and boost sales!
Here's why POP displays are your secret weapon in a slow market
Standing Out in a Crowded Marketplace: With online shopping on the rise, physical stores need to offer a more engaging experience. Eye-catching POP displays showcasing new collections or special promotions can stop customers and draw them towards your products. Think beyond basic shelves and stands. Consider interactive displays with touchscreens, product samplers, or digital signage that showcase product benefits and brand stories.
Weatherproof Sales Force: February’s wet weather impacted foot traffic, but strategically placed displays can act as silent salespeople, encouraging customers to browse and discover new item. Don’t just rely on placing displays near entrances. Position them in high-traffic areas like walkways between departments or near free sample products. Consider incorporating weatherproof materials for outdoor displays or displays near store entrances exposed to bad weather.
Boosting Specific Categories: While the ONS report highlights a decline in food and fuel sales, clothing and department stores actually saw growth thanks to new season collections. POP displays can encourage this trend by showcasing these new arrivals and driving sales. By using the seasons and being reactive in your approach you can make the most of boosting sales using your displays.
