Service to Retailers. P-O-P services retailers by attracting the consumer's attention, increasing his or her interest in shopping, and extending the amount of time spent in the store--all of which lead to increased retail revenue and profits. Furthermore, P-O-P materials perform a critical merchandising function in aiding retailers in using available space to the best advantage and also enable retailers to better organize shelf and floor space to improve inventory control and stock turnover.
