Course Description
The point of purchase is the most important point in the customer journey. The consumer is in shopper mode and ready to make a purchase. And now, the in-store marketing materials are the final opportunity for the brand and retailer to influence the customer’s purchasing decision. At the same time, these marketing materials can also help build a memorable and engaging customer experience that will inspire customer loyalty. This course will examine how digital signage, interactive displays, and mobile technologies at the point of purchase enhance the customer experience and trigger purchasing. The course focuses on Phase 4 of the Shop! Value Cycle – Market.
