Brand Marketing
Let’s combine our knowledge and strategic thinking with your brand and category insights to drive unparalleled results to your retail executions.
With more than 82% of all purchase decisions being made at retail, brands must recognize the significance of their in-store POP programs. Brand marketers must focus on developing more effective POP programs and, more importantly, ensure that they are properly implemented at the store level, thus maximizing ROI on the program.
Before developing a POP program, brand managers should have a clear understanding of their marketing strategy and the retailer marketing strategy, as well as obstacles they are likely to encounter—which products are being delivered to which markets through which channels of distribution.
Let us show you how our experience can help get your brand noticed.
