D5 Shelftalker: a collage of the work in this chapter

Retail, Point-of-Purchase, attention grabbing, affixed or disposable, multimedia shelf device, with a strong influence on customer decisions.


In-Store

Merchandiser POP (Point-of-Purchase), or POS (Point-of-Sale), both describe powerful in-aisle or checkout transaction locations. Customers first select a specific product, engaging second, in a money exchange.

Multimedia

Influential printed signage or cards, may include a pre-recorded audio message, a video display, or even a holographic projection. The blended media, with messages "On Special," or "Sale Item" grab prospective customer attention regarding the products or services displayed.

Unit

Constructed of lightweight, disposable components, replaceable signage, audio and battery cartridges, with varied shelf attachments, an assembled device effectively hangs over the edge of a shelf.
