Instore Media: More attention &
better customer loyalty
In-store media
for the POS
In-store media is changing the way products are perceived and purchased at the point of sale. Digital sales promotion solutions not only enhance traditional shelf space but also create entirely new impulses for customer shopping behavior. In-store media stands for modern, interactive touchpoints in brick-and-mortar retail – directly where the purchase decision is made. At its core is the intelligent integration of product presentation, advertising, and digital interaction, which both improves the customer journey and increases sales.
Especially in the face of competition from online retailers, the importance of digital communication in brick-and-mortar stores is growing. Transforming your sales space into a media-enabled experience creates proximity, orientation, and incentives to buy. In-store media brings moving content and personalized offers directly into the physical store—returning shopping to an inspiring and compelling experience.
Digital tools for more visibility and sales
Whether animated shelf rails, interactive displays, digital price tags, or fully integrated self-checkout systems – in-store media offers a wide range of tools to specifically direct customer attention. Products can be advertised, combined, or discounted – flexibly, data-driven, and tailored to the specific location. Successful POS sales today require more than just well-placed merchandise. It's about presenting offers in a dynamic and visually appealing way to trigger additional purchases. Examples of in-store media, permanent displays, and shopfitting can be found here .
The power of digital media in stores is particularly evident in the area of cross-selling. Complementary products can be suggested based on the situation, discounts appear at the right time, and customers receive orientation – whether through visual guidance, animations, or interactive recommendations. All of these features demonstrably lead to higher average receipts, longer dwell times, and significantly stronger brand awareness at the POS.
Digital solutions for retail
In-store media is more than just a trend—it's a response to the structural challenges facing brick-and-mortar retail. Staff shortages, changing customer behavior, and increasing digitalization in e-commerce require new strategies in stores. Digital media solutions such as interactive displays or animated shelf technology not only relieve the burden on sales staff, but also actively take on tasks in customer communication, advice, and sales promotion.
Thanks to modern CMS and dashboard solutions, content can be centrally controlled, deployed, and adapted in real time. Store managers or marketing managers can add products, change prices, or launch campaigns – without extensive training or prior technical knowledge. This ensures maximum flexibility and responsiveness in day-to-day business.
For example, seasonal promotions, targeted offers, or local advertising partnerships can be easily implemented. In-store media is therefore a scalable tool for retailers of all sizes to remain future-proof and competitive.
Instore media at self checkout
One example of the successful use of in-store media is the self-checkout area in retail. This is where digital technologies and sales promotions converge particularly effectively. Modern systems make it possible to specifically point customers to complementary products during the checkout process, offer discount combinations, or encourage impulse purchases. Animated elements can draw attention to specific products or use visual effects to indicate where suggested items are located on the shelf.
One innovative approach is the combination of a digital sales display and interactive rails, as implemented in the DeinzerSmartSeller, among others. This combines intuitive operation, sales logic, and emotional customer engagement to create a shopping experience that informs and inspires. The targeted combination of scanning, recommendations, and visual guidance makes self-checkout not only efficient but also powerful in sales.
Strategic use of in-store media
The digital transformation of brick-and-mortar retail has long been a reality – in-store media is a key element for retailers seeking to be future-proof. Through the targeted use of digital sales and advertising space, existing potential is better utilized and new revenue streams are tapped. Especially in times of consumer restraint and highly dynamic markets, an intelligent in-store media strategy can make the decisive difference – not only in increasing sales but also in building long-term customer loyalty.
Scalability is a major advantage: Whether individual modules or holistic concepts, Instore Media can be integrated step by step into existing store structures. This allows even smaller retailers or chain stores to launch targeted digital measures and gradually digitally transform their sales space.
Investing in in-store media pays off not only through larger shopping baskets, but also through a more modern brand image, improved customer experiences, and valuable data on on-site shopping behavior.
