Background of Joining the National Supermarket Association
In the retail industry, including supermarkets, in-store promotional activities are vital for communicating product appeal and information to customers, contributing to increased sales. However, factors like shifting consumer behavior due to inflation, labor shortages, and unstable supply/pricing of promotional materials necessitate new approaches.
Managing POPs, posters, fixtures, and shelf materials is complex, involving intricate specifications and inventory control. Recently, additional pressures, such as responding to price changes and selecting suppliers based on delivery times, have emerged.
To help supermarkets efficiently manage limited personnel, costs, and materials, SPinno has joined the association to support store promotions through DX.
