About Workshop
The Point of Purchase (POP) is the environment in which a shopper makes a definitive purchase decision, at a point in time, about a brand. The Point of Purchase is any place where the shopper makes a decision to purchase. The point of purchase is a decisive moment when all previous marketing activities stand or fall. As the media evolved, marketing at retail has come out of its initial stance of being purely a reminder medium and today POP is the most happening place when it comes to activating brands. POP is the last chance for the companies to influence shoppers to buy their brands.
According to a 2005 Economist article, consumers spend no more than 6 seconds trying to find a preferred brand before they give up and submit to a substitute. Research findings show that, about 60% of total purchases are actually triggered at point of purchase. It is said-“what you see is what you buy”.
