Imagine yourself in line at your favorite grocery store. When you look around, you see a variety of products being offered to you: gum, candy, magazines, etc. These low-price items are always placed near the cashier because the grocery store knows you will have free time to consider buying them while waiting. The longer you wait and the cheaper the product, the higher chance there is of you deciding to add it to the rest of your groceries. This is a retail strategy known as Point-of-Purchase (POP) displays, and is an effective way to display sunglasses.There are many different ways to display sunglasses, but POP promotion requires different models than you would usually imagine. One of the most common methods is counter top eyewear holders. These models allow a customer to view products more quickly than most because of their size and location. Placing them on the counter top near the register puts them in the direct eye-line of those waiting, which makes sure that the customer is aware of them and will at least consider the products being offered. If you want to effectively display sunglasses in a POP case, simplicity and ease of use will help your chances of making an additional sale.Display sunglasses in a case, rack or holder that allows a customer to quickly view all of their options. Time is of the essence, so you may choose a model that holds all of the sunglasses on one side, directly facing the customer. These displays are even more effective when given a unique design, including the shape, material, and colors. Another option would be to offer a selection of merchandise on a rotating display, allowing someone to browse through even more sunglasses in a short time frame. However, it is important to not over-stock these cases since the customer could become overwhelmed by the selection. Also, a mirror should always be placed on the case or near it when you display sunglasses. This lets them see how they look without searching for another mirror.An effective way to display sunglasses in your store is the use Point-of-Purchase (POP) models, which allow you to promote your eyewear to customers quickly and effectively. Anyone who approaches the POP will be aware and curious of the selection you have conveniently provided for them. Choosing the right style of display for your business can make a POP display really stand out, so make sure you check out all of your options.
