Today, supermarkets have become interactive showcases where every element, from the positioning of the product to that of the food and non-food areas, up to the type of set-ups, is designed to attract the customer’s attention and maximize his engagement.

Often the right product placed in the right position can make the difference. This is why the POP (Point of Purchase) materials were developed, of which the creativity and attention to detail, together with a good degree of immediacy, are the main features of this communication tool, very useful for attracting the customer.

In retail, one of the objectives of communication is to amaze through infrastructures and means suitable for creating an experience that is as engaging as possible and that stays in consumers’ minds. POP materials have precisely the aim of attracting attention to the brand by creating amazement and arouse a reaction that involves emotion, in such a way that the impact of stimuli associated with the brand leaves a positive impression even once the interaction has ended. The involvement of emotions is a pivotal ingredient to attract a customer, even the most undecided.

Furthermore, despite the year of COVID-19 which led to a progressive digitalization of purchasing processes, the role of the physical store remains fundamental. In fact, according to the Netcomm-Diennea survey, the visit to the store is decisive for 18.4% of purchases.

With a view to the progressive digitalization of the physical store with the aim of transforming it into a format suitable also for entertainment and interaction with the customer, what is the future of this solution?
