So, what is a point of sale and how can it help you out in marketing your brand?
POS stands for point of sales. The idea behind the usage of point of sales products is to attract customers to the point of purchase as well as increasing the visibility of our brand.

A point of sale in marketing will always generate new product awareness, trial and purchase if both of these two steps are done properly. We always need to find different ways of presenting our products to our target market. Normally, people admire the way products are packed and presented to them to generate them an interest of purchasing. If we compare the big clothing brands the way that they use high-end packaging we could really tell the difference and quality compared to small shops.

In this situation, this LED bottle glorifier is tremendously unique to present our drinks in clubs, firstly because it is high-end and therefore can be pricy and secondly it looks amazingly great to display our products. This kind of POS really will catch customers attention as it also includes LED light that will stand out even when the club lights turn off.

To gain new customers, using a POS is always a sensible way of introducing and presenting our brand to the public.

Variation will support your theme to avoid boringness of display and decoration. You can use the same theme every year but avoid using the same display and style. You need to create a new look or else you will only annoy your viewers.

Scheme is also best applied to employ variation. A scheme works like a sub-theme. Say for example you theme is Christmas, you can create one White Christmas Window, one Toys Kingdom Window and one Christmas Party Window. All of these three schemes are related to your Christmas theme.

Also avoid using the same material for different themes consecutively. You may keep the materials you have recently used and use it again after few months or put it in other locations or other branch of your store.

We at Merch & Effect consider several key elements when making a design. First, we take into consideration the color palette of the brand. Color palettes are easily recognizable and unique to the brand. In spite of the logo not standing out, these would carry the brand's identity. Another thing we consider is the materials that will be used to create our designs. Since we have limited space in this platform, we take into consideration what imagery we should prioritise and put on there. With this, we can come up with a practical, subtle, but brand-related item that will surely be appreciated by customers.
