80% of in-store communication is ineffective

80% of in-store communication is ineffective
[Jason (Frich) Frichol] It's estimated that 80% of in-store communication doesn't work on its target market, although this is probably a conservative figure when it comes to evaluating the efficacy of messaging and design in this environment.

Keeping up with the POSse

Ian Steyn[Ian Steyn] Many retailers are still grappling with "the era of the customer experience"; finding ways to serve their customers more efficiently, whilst offering an increasing number of Value-Added Services. However, enhancing a point of sale (POS) system to support a host of integrated value added services can be a challenge.

Testing the test

Testing the test
[Martin Kingdon] I have always thought that it was common sense to understand as much as possible about the people who were, or would possibly be, actually buying my products in the real world with their real money. Strange then how much money is not spent by brands understanding this.

New currency for FMCG retail: shopper delight

Michelle Francis[Michelle Francis] There is no denying that when it comes to the launch of new products or variants, product sampling is one of the most effective vehicles and is one of the main drivers included in the mix. The other is when brands are looking for a cost-effective quick solution to move product off the shelves. Both avenues have their merit but it is going to become increasingly difficult to maintain/increase retailer mindshare and support if we do not raise the bar and deliver medium to long-term value.

If liquor is going dark, where's the light from in-store?

If liquor is going dark, where's the light from in-store?
[Jason (Frich) Frichol] In South Africa, liquor retail is only geared for destination purchases. You're either looking for your brand or a good deal in a specific category. Whichever the case, it's a quick entry and exit for the shopper. With impending legislation, you'd think liquor would follow other retail verticals where the store is the medium and start encouraging cross- and up-selling but this is not the case.

Changing POP display behaviour

Changing POP display behaviour
[Jason (Frich) Frichol] One of the questions that I often field is why are retailers, in general, limiting creativity and opportunity when it comes to point of purchase (POP) display? My nippy answer is that most brands take a myopic view when it comes to POP and this one-dimensional approach is the product of driving placement costs up and display opportunities down.

If you go down to the shops today, you're sure of a big surprise
[Duncan McLeod] If you go to the Broadacres SuperSpar in Johannesburg's far north, you'll notice something out of the ordinary on the shelves. In the place of the usual paper price labels and barcodes are electronic tags displaying the prices of the products on sale.
