Buckle up because the future of your brand’s success begins with the strategic planning of in-store executions.
Importance of In-Store Executions
Despite the growth of e-commerce, brick-and-mortar stores remain a critical part of the retail landscape. In fact, according to a study by PWC, 43% of consumers still prefer to shop in-store. This is because in-store shopping allows consumers to see, touch, and try products before they buy them. It also provides an opportunity for brands to interact with customers and build relationships.
However, the retail shopping experience is changing due to new consumer behaviors and technologies. Consumers are increasingly using their smartphones to research products, compare prices, and make purchases. They are also more likely to be influenced by social media and online reviews.
To succeed in this new retail environment, brands need to create in-store experiences that are engaging, informative, and memorable. Custom POP displays can be a key part of this strategy.
Benefits of Early Planning
In-store executions demand a well-rounded plan that goes beyond just displays. A comprehensive strategy is crucial for creating ideal customer experiences and aligning executions with the ideal customer journey.
Proactive planning is essential to gain a competitive edge and develop a strategic timeline that aligns with major retail opportunities. Early planning forms the foundation of a successful in-store execution strategy.
Here are some of the benefits of proactive planning:
- Secure prime placement in stores, maximizing visibility and impact
- Capitalize on major retail opportunities, such as holidays and product launches
- Streamline the design and production process, ensuring timely execution
- Anticipate and address potential challenges, minimizing setbacks
- Create a more cohesive and effective in-store presence
- Maximize the return on investment (ROI) of in-store executions
Latest Trends in Custom POP Displays
To stay ahead of the competition and capture the attention of today's savvy shoppers, brands need to incorporate innovative and eye-catching displays into their marketing strategies. Here are some of the latest trends in custom corrugated display stands for 2024:
Sustainable and Eco-Friendly Materials
Consumers are increasingly eco-conscious and prefer brands that prioritize sustainability. Corrugated cardboard is a naturally renewable and recyclable material, making it an excellent choice for environmentally friendly displays. Brands can further enhance their sustainability by using water-based inks and recycled content in their corrugated displays.
Interactive and Engaging Displays
Technology is transforming the retail landscape, and brands incorporate interactive elements into their displays to create engaging and memorable customer experiences. Interactive displays can include touch screens, augmented reality (AR), and virtual reality (VR) components that allow consumers to explore products in a more immersive way.
Personalized and Data-Driven Displays
Data analytics is playing a crucial role in retail marketing, and brands are leveraging data to personalize their in-store experiences. For instance, eye-tracking emerges as cutting-edge technology that helps businesses to identify what attracts a consumer's attention, where their focus lies during key decision points, and the optimal moments to convey branding, messages, promotions, or services.
This technology streamlines the custom corrugated display stands designed by incorporating personalized messaging, product recommendations, and targeted promotions based on consumer data and purchase history.
Eye-Catching Graphics and Storytelling
Visual storytelling is a powerful tool for capturing attention and conveying brand messages. Custom corrugated display stands provide a canvas for high-quality graphics, vibrant colors, and compelling narratives that resonate with consumers and differentiate brands from their competitors.
