Whether they know it or not, consumers are relying more on in-store promotions to guide their buying decisions.

Eighty-two percent of mass merchant purchase decisions are made in-store, says the 2014 Mass Merchant Study from POPAI The Global Association for Marketing at-Retail. The study is the most recent installment of POPAI’s Shopper Engagement Study series and it reveals how impactful point of purchase and print marketing can be to the shopping experience.

Other leading stats from the study:

– 34 percent of mass merchant shoppers do not make any kind of shopping list
– 62 percent of mass merchant shoppers do not use media from mail, newspapers, circulars, coupons, TV ads, or information from electronics sources to plan their trip.

“Displays have a huge untapped potential to drive unplanned purchases in-store,” said Kirk Hendrickson, Founder & CEO Eye Faster LLC. “The tracking conducted by Eye Faster [for the study] found that 16 percent of unplanned purchases were driven by a display the shopper saw shopping.”
