What is the role of a shelf talker?

A shelf talker is a great in-store marketing tool for retailers of all industries. It is very effective at driving sales whilst offering a quick and inexpensive method of advertising specials or promotions. Shelf talkers also allow retail stores to promote specific details of a product - for example the benefits of that product over similar products, what the product is best suited to/used for and whether it is cheaper than the same product elsewhere (encouraging impulse buys). They are beneficial for pointing out any 'free gifts with purchase' or 'offers' on that particular brand. They are an economical way to advertise throughout your store and to point out product features that will appeal to your consumer of that product.

THE ROLE OF SHELF TALKERS:

• Introduce new products
• Introduce improved products
• Promote specials or seasonal products
• Advertise promotions or offers available
• Highlight a products selling points
• Sell slow moving products
• Promote additional services/benefits
• Raise brand awareness
• Help the customer choose among a certain brand's range of products
• Guide the customer in aisles. For example in the beauty department of a supermarket, a bold statement that reads "for blonde hair" will attract people with blonde hair to look at that specific shelf and the products merchandised on the shelf. This assists the customer in finding what they are looking for more quickly. 
• Shelf talkers can also help to further divide aisles into subcategories.
• Advertise certain benefits of a product. Promoting the health benefit of an item or that it is Australian made will attract the right target market.
