IN-STORE ADS BOOST BRANDS

advertisements influence more than 75% of supermarket shoppers to purchase a specific brand, according to a study by Mediaedge:cia here, part of the WPP communications services firm. More than one-third of consumers say that the ads influence them to buy a new product or try a different brand, and 44% of people are aware of most in-store ads, the study found. Placement is important: Shoppers say they notice end-display ads and store leaflets/magazines most. Least effective are shopping cart ads and in-store TV. One type of advertising does not fit all: Product demonstrations work well for shoppers aged 55 to 64; leaflets and magazines best target 45- to 54-year-olds; those aged 25 to 44 respond well to shelf signs; and product packaging, checkout counter ads and store entrance/parking lot ads are most effective among those aged 35 to 44, the study found.
