Avoiding Information Overload in In-Store Messaging

When it comes to in-store messaging, less is more. 

Consumers are already exposed to endless stimuli like visuals, promotions, and background noise. If your in-store messaging isn’t clear and concise, it risks getting lost in the mix.

To make sure your brand stands out from the crowd, here are four key creative guidelines:

  • Keep it short and sweet. Mention your brand name 2-3 times in audio spots so shoppers remember who’s talking. 
  • Time it right. Align audio messages with what the store is already promoting that week or month. 
  • Place screens strategically. Catch shoppers when they’re already in buying mode for your category. 
  • Show the right content. Bold visuals at entrances, detailed product info near your products. 

In-store advertising has the power to influence behavior in real time, but only if it’s executed strategically.
