The marketing team at GoodMark Foods knows that a consistent marketing message -- and lots of P-O-P -- is what keeps the company's products moving off store shelves.
As retailers gain more expertise and power in directing their own P-O-P, suppliers are creating more efficient pieces. That means more customization and less control for suppliers.
There's no denying that the P-O-P industry is in a mode of mergers and acquisitions. What is not clear is what form consolidations will take and what the industry will look like when the shakeup is complete.
Retailers' desire for smaller, standard packages and more efficient displays is leading suppliers to consider new formats, interactive displays and other options.
