If you run a business, or work within the ever changing world of consumer driven grocery retail, then you’ll know as well as we know that catching your customers attention is more important now than ever before. The biggest obstacle facing retailers in modern day, is the growth and development of online shopping. However, whilst shopping online offers a fast and easy alternative to travelling to your local supermarket, the need for a physical outlet will always remain even though those numbers fall lower and lower each year.
As more customers pass through businesses each day, many companies now turn to driving different price reductions, special offers and invest time in creating inspiring POS and price reduction advertisements. However, what if we were to tell you of a new, innovative solution on the market with a proven track record of increasing sales, developing customer engagement and growing profits?

Tokinomo rethinks, remasters and reinvents in-store marketing as we know it, and offers an efficient and innovative alternative using a friendly, fun and effective method to market your products.
