Effective Pops

Counter top display: Display material placed on the shop counter, which attracts the consumer's attention as soon as he enters the retail outlet.

Counter top dispensers: They work as display units as well as dispensing units, thus proving to be dual purpose POP material.

Wall mounted dispensers: Because these are mounted on the wall they do not waste floor or counter space and have the advantage of better visibility in the retail outlet.

Hanging dispensers: Now-a-days retail counter as well as wall space comes at a premium and many a times wall and floors are too crowded. Therefore, hanging dispensers are preferred by retailers.

Tester displays: Used mainly for products where the consumer would prefer to tryout the product before purchase.

Illuminated displays: These displays are very effective in attracting the consumer's attention as the illumination makes them stand out.

Permanent floor displays / Gondolas: These are mostly permanent displays which exclusively display one particular product or its range in large quantities. These isolate the product from its competitors thus commanding focussed attention.
