As all retailers know, getting a sales message across that catches the eye without being a hindrance can be a challenge. Space is at a premium when it comes to your in-store advertising, so it is vital that you make the most of it. Shelf strips are one fantastic solution to this problem. Placed on shelf edges, shelf strips are thin slips of polypropylene banner material that are used to present key sales messages.
What are shelf strips used for?
Letting customers know you have a sale on
Got a half-price sale on? Shelf strips offer an opportunity to enhance your sales messaging. While large advertising boards placed in areas where you have a particular offer on or suspended from the ceiling can be a great way to grab the attention of your customers, shelf strips can be just as, if not more effective, than their more in your face counterparts. As the focus of your shoppers will be directly on your shelves, it makes sense from an advertising point of view to take advantage of this by putting your advertising in a place where it will meet their gaze.
Tell your customers something important
Shelf strips are not only used to advertise a sale. They are also a great way to guide your customers about what you have to offer. For your customers, time is precious, and the majority will spend very little time deliberating over whether or not to buy. Key visual guides will not only help your customers to buy from you, they will also enhance the overall shopping experience, making them more likely to come back. If you can provide a positive and simple shopping experience, this will often have as much of a positive impact as a low-cost final bill.
Increase brand presence
Sometimes a products packaging just isn’t enough. Shelf strips can help to lift your products off the shelves and into the baskets of your customers. That extra brand resonance can really make all the difference. Many products will be household names, so by reiterating brand messages on your shelf strips, you can really help to reinforce the power of the brands on show.
