Why use counter advertising?

69% of shoppers recall seeing in-store product advertisements and, more importantly, those impressions led to browsing (69%) and buying (61%) the product*. This makes counter advertising one of the best ways to promote your product or brand. It’s at a place where people stand in line, pause as they wait for the cashier to finish or for their product to be wrapped. Attention is focused on the counter, where your customer places their products to pay for them. It’s also the place where last minute buying decisions are made. Counter advertising provides an excellent opportunity to reach your customers right at the checkout.

Many stores all over the world use DeskWindo displays for their counter advertising. For example, each check-out counter of CVS Pharmacy in the US is equipped with a DeskWindo counter display. This drugstore chain uses the DeskWindo to draw attention to their special 'care pass'. Especially for CVS we provided each DeskWindo with a customer poster after production. Even the packaging was modified so that each branch could easily be supplied with the right number of DeskWindo's, including placement instructions. 

Also Subway customers were targeted at the order counter for the delicious specialty sandwiches that were on sale. In front of them there was a DeskWindo in this fast food chain's green corporate color.

Spanish gas station chain Repsol draws attention to their loyalty card by having a clear message at the checkout. In Spain they have 4 languages, so it came in handy that the gas stations could provide the DeskWindo’s with the right language. In the Netherlands the 

Dutch Lottery (Nederlandse Loterij) has tons of outlets all over the country. Year in and year out they use DeskWindo at the counters where they sell their lottery tickets. What better way to draw attention right at the point of sale?
