Four-color, two-sided, perpendicular (7″ x 5-1/2″) Price Pop signs will display enlarged unit and absolute shelf prices, retailer’s logo, and manufacturer/brand information including product logo, tagline and key selling points.
Price Pop will provide price-focused enhancements for existing SmartSource programs such as Coupon Machines, Shelftalk, Floortalk and Take One promotions. The custom-tailored signage and quick turnaround time will enable retailers and manufacturers to enhance co-marketing efforts. In addition, Price Pop can be used in conjunction with Price Feature Plus Free Standing Inserts to reach both in-store and out-of-home consumers.
National launch is scheduled to begin January 1, 2001, with Price Pop products targeted for two-week cycles. Price Pop’s dedicated national sales force will be supported by the 15,000-person NAM field personnel.
