Point of Sale Materials
Point of Sale Materials (POSM) are physical or digital marketing materials placed in retail environments to attract attention, communicate key messages, and drive purchase at the point of sale. They include shelf strips, wobblers, FSDUs, display stands, ceiling hangers, digital screens, and header cards.
POSM is a central output of trade marketing and shopper marketing teams. Effective POSM can significantly increase awareness and sales uplift at point of purchase. However, retailers are increasingly restrictive about POSM in-store to maintain store standards — making every POSM opportunity more valuable and harder to secure.
POSM briefing, production management, and compliance measurement are core skills for Trade Marketing Managers and Shopper Marketing Managers. Managing POSM budgets efficiently — balancing investment against in-store compliance rates — is a practical commercial challenge covered in FMCG interviews.
