How to Design a Point-of-Purchase Display That Sells

Whether it’s a seasonal retail promo or a long-term product feature, the right point-of-purchase (POP) display can stop customers in their tracks—and drive real results. At BAW Plastics, we know that smart design and quality fabrication go hand-in-hand. Here’s how to make sure your POP display doesn’t just take up space—it sells.

  1. Know Your Product (and Customer)
  • What product are you showcasing?
  • Who’s the target customer?
  • What’s the buying behavior—impulse purchase or planned need?

Pro tip: The more niche your customer, the more tailored your display should be. A POP display for beauty products will look very different from one meant for hardware tools.

  1. Prioritize Visibility and Accessibility
  • Place items at eye level.
  • Keep messaging clear and concise.
  • Use transparent materials to highlight, not hide.

Think: bold headers, clean lines, and smart lighting.

  1. Use Color to Your Advantage
  • Red = urgency
  • Blue = trust
  • Green = sustainability

✅ Color isn’t just pretty—it’s powerful.

  1. Keep the Build Practical
  • Easy to assemble
  • Durable enough for high-traffic environments
  • Lightweight for transport, but sturdy enough for stability

✅ Custom plastic fabrication makes all of the above possible—and lets you skip the limits of off-the-shelf solutions.

  1. Don’t Forget Branding
  • Incorporate logos, fonts, and tone-of-voice
  • Include a QR code or promotional offer if applicable

✅ From embossed logos to custom CNC-cut shapes, BAW brings branding to life.

  1. Test and Optimize
  • Are customers interacting with it?
  • Is it holding up under real-world conditions?

Pro Tip: Test your display in one or two locations before a full rollout.
