POP stands for point of purchase. A point of purchase, or POP short, is a location, a store where customers can see and purchase products. POP displays are advertising materials used to promote products. Displays are separate from the shelves where products are displayed.
POP displays need to catch the attention of the customers and encourage them to make a purchase. The biggest benefit of using POP displays is that they can be customized. Also, these displays can be assembled and broken down in a few moments, leaving the store as it was initially arranged.
What is the difference between POP and POS display?
As mentioned, POP stands for point of purchase. POS stands for point of sale. The location is the main difference between POP and POS displays. While a POP display stands on the aisle, right next to the product, a POS display stands near the checkout counter.
