Point of Sale – Design of shops & systems at the POS

At the Point of Sale, customers come in contact with brands and products. Often this is the place where the first encounter with a brand or a specific product takes place. This makes a tailored presentation at the point of sale extremely important. The design of the POS placement helps the customer to draw conclusions about the brand and categorise them. If an expensive, high-quality product is sold, the presentation must match it accordingly, otherwise the customer cannot clearly recognise the intrinsic value of the product. In contrast, prices that should be perceived as bargains must also be presented in a correspondingly simpler manner. Otherwise, the customer can consciously or unconsciously perceive a contradiction between the value of the product, its price and the on-site presentation.

If your brand is not placed in your own store, but in a POS environment where various other brands are also presented, there are other important aspects to be considered. In this scenario you have to generate awareness that goes beyond mere ‘goods presentation’.

How can this be achieved on large areas, such as those found in a department store or hardware store? ARNO can draw on many years of experience in the implementation of shop-in-shop systems at the POS and knows what is needed:

The SiS or part of the system should at least be so high that it can be seen properly from a distance and the brand can be recognised.

To differentiate the brand visibly from other competitors, it is recommended to build a separate floor that demarcates the area for larger shop-in-shop systems. This usually has the positive side-effect that the SiS generates a higher-quality effect and that a small brand world is created.

At ARNO we know that the requirements of different target groups must be taken into account. In addition to the end customer, who plays an important role, the retail trade and its requirements must also be incorporated in the planning. 

• Which area does the retail trade make available at the point of sale? 
• What is the height of the POS furniture that cannot or may not be exceeded?
• Must certain materials be used or avoided due to fire protection measures?

 Last but not least, the brand also has certain requirements as to how it wants to present itself at the POS. All these requirements need to be incorporated in the development process. And at ARNO we have been doing this with great success for 85 years. Come talk to us about your project and we will develop a concept jointly with you on how to present your brand at the POS.
