When it comes to visual merchandising,
we all know that having a plan in place is important – but how important is it?
Do customers really pay that much attention? Can a visually striking display
actually garner that much attention and increase sales? According to the 2014
Mass Merchant Study by Point
of Purchase Advertising International (POPAI), yes, they can!
Discussing the Mass Merchant Study, an article on RetailWire made some important points. The study revealed some
really interesting results as far as visual merchandising, and keeping these in
mind the next time you sit down to re-establish or fine-tune your marketing
strategy is probably a really smart idea.
Perhaps the most notable finding was
that 82% of purchase decisions are made in-store. What does this mean for you?
The article had this to say: “Consumers who shop at mass merchandisers make a
lot of decisions about what they're going to buy at the shelf. Getting them to
buy more has a lot to do with retailers' in-store media and display strategies
and tactics.”
Additionally, according to the article,
the study found that 34% of shoppers don’t rely on a shopping list. Again, this
means far more opportunities for you to entice and attract.
