POS communication in 2024 faces major challenges. Consumers are exposed to a constant flood of information — whether online or offline — and effectively cutting through with a message and brand is becoming increasingly difficult.
To stand out in this dense information jungle, it’s crucial for companies and brands to use innovative and effective communication tools. One of the most powerful tools gaining increasing importance is integrating moving images into point-of-sale (POS) communication.
According to a recent study by Screenforce, the increase in ad recall achieved through moving images is three to five times higher than with print advertising or advertising materials without video. But what does this mean for communication at the POS, and what solutions are there? (Source)
Why Moving Images Make Sense at the POS Too
- Capturing attention: Moving images have a unique ability to instantly capture customers’ attention. Compared to static images or text, videos draw the eye through moving, dynamic content. This is especially valuable in high-traffic locations like the POS.
- Emotional connection: Videos can spark emotions and tell stories. By incorporating emotional elements and compelling narratives, companies can build a deeper connection with their customers and communicate their brand message more effectively.
- Conveying complex information: Moving images are ideal for explaining complex product information or usage instructions simply and clearly. A short video can often say more than a long text, making it easier for customers to make a purchase decision.
But How Do I Get Videos About My Brand and Product to the POS Quickly and Easily?
While the benefits of moving images in POS communication are obvious, there are also challenges. Implementing and managing video content can be costly and time-consuming. This is where EMSU systems come in.
