Top of the POPs: an annual survey shows retailers assuming more power in point-of-purchase display decisions
Article Abstract:
Store operators appear to be less happy with point-of-purchase (POP) advertising from merchandise suppliers than in the past and want to assert more control over the displays, according to a 1997 survey of suppliers and retailers by P-O-P Times. Competition is causing retailers to scrutinize POP displays, says P-O-P Times editor Rex Davenport. Store operators prefer materials that are informative, adaptable and durable, Davenport says.

Article Abstract:
A survey of 550 direct marketing firms found that almost 80% use an online service, CD-ROM, fax machine or other electronic, interactive medium for promotions. However, the survey, conducted by A.T.

Almost 90% of respondents intend to boost spending on promotions through new media in the next three years.
