Gaining in popularity, graphic floors are a cost-effective, flexible form of advertising, brand building, PR and wayfinding that can actually enhance the overall guest/customer experience at the same time it is helping your business grow. Custom image flooring is an affordable alternative to expensive TV and radio advertising, print media, direct mail and billboards. Floor graphics might be seen multiple times, used over and over again in different places and the messages leave a lasting impression.
Much research has been conducted in recent years to determine how people perceive floor advertising and printed floor graphics. Psychologically and biologically it is nearly impossible to overlook a well-placed, well-designed, cool floor graphic. Humans are programmed to look where they are walking to make sure they won’t trip on something and fall. We are more likely to look at messaging below our feet than above our heads. And in the last couple decades, people look down at their phones more than they look above or straight ahead.
When it comes to making buying decisions, the Point of Purchase Agency Institute (POPAI) found that 76% of purchases result once a shopper is in the store. POPAI also discovered that shoppers stopped and engaged with a product that included floor advertising 64% of the time.
A study by the Center for Advanced Retail & Technology looked at how colorful floor graphics placed with a floor display unit influenced purchases of breakfast cereals. The products featuring a custom floor graphic for visual merchandising increased sales 17% over those without printed flooring. On average, grocers (and many other retailers) can expect a sales lift of 10-15% by including custom graphic mats and printed flooring with featured products.
POP and POS are just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to merchandising and advertising using floor graphics. See why retailers, business owners, marketing professionals and event promoters are turning to custom printed graphic floor branding and messaging to attract attention.
