The strategy should not only be aimed at improve the visibility the marca at the point of sale over the others, but also at considerably improving the shopping experience for the Shoppers and offering them benefits attractive.

1.Connection points:
Understanding the consumer’s behavior of the Shoppers is essential to identify the moments and spots where they will be most susceptible to receiving our message. (E.g., Display of an isotonic drink in the sports area)
A point could be next to another supplementaryp roduct, in the same “"Consumer Occasion"; another could be to stand on the path they take to go find another product, etc.
Each point will depend on our target.
“Shoppers spend from 40 minutes to two hours at the point of sale, exposed to more than 15,000 products, from which they will choose between 10 and 20.
These final decisions are made by the Shoppers in just 15 seconds, which means very little time to get their attention”. 1
2. POP display::
the presentation of the product is key to conveying and message the marca. Es necesario que tanto la estructura de los materiales como el mensaje gráfico, comuniquen correctamente lo que queremos decir. Un material poco práctico o diseño aburrido hará que, por naturaleza, el Shopper le saque la vuelta al producto. Entonces habremos perdido nuestra oportunidad de vender.
Messages are a strong point of connection with the Shopper. Beyond creating "awareness" at the point of sale, the message we give Shoppers should motivate better them to give the product a try, or else, break the barriers they may have against taking it. To make sense to them, the message must be based on the Shoppers' insights.
"Floor displays dominate 51% of displays at the point of sale''2
3. Shopping Experience:
El Shopper puede distraerse en su recorrido, puede obviar los mensajes visuales y escritos, puede aferrarse a su lealtad de las marcas que prefiere sin voltear a ver otras opciones, incluso cuando impliquen un beneficio a su economía; pero lo que una marca le hace vivir upon entering all their senses, se quedará en sucorazón y they will never forget it..
Winning them over through an experience probably won't mean a big sale on that visit, but they will surely become a loyal buyer of our products and no one and nothing will be able to compete with that.
"ThinkJar, in a study on customer experience, mentions that 86% of consumers would pay more for a product or service if it were accompanied by an improved experience or superior to the rest".4
"Our subconscious creates the feelings (emotions) that influence the decisive action." 5
4. Promotions::
A weak point of the Shoppers is their economy; they have become smart shoppers. Offering them a superior proposal for the same expense that they would have with a competitor's product is a certain sale. Let us remember that the shoppers will never sacrifice taste and preferences.
It is not about giving them less to lower the price or lowering the quality, it is about giving them value.
A smart strategy could be to offer a hook item attractive to the Shopper.
"89% of consumers will remember the company that gave them a promotional article even two years after doing so." 6
Conclusion
The Shopper Marketing strategy must improve the visibility the marca at the point of sale over all others, experience for the Shoppers and offering them benefits attractive.
Understanding the consumer’s behavior of the Shoppers is essential to identify the moments and spots where they will be most susceptible to receiving our message and as a result gain their loyalty and preference for our products.
