EFFECT OF POINT-OF-PURCHASE DISPLAY MATERIAL OF SALES AND PROFITABILITY OF SELECTED RETAIL OUTLET IN CALABAR

CHAPTER ONE

INTRODUCTION

BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY

The retail industry is a dynamic and highly competitive sector where businesses constantly strive to gain a competitive edge. In this pursuit, retailers employ various strategies to enhance their sales and profitability. One such strategy that has gained prominence in recent years is the utilization of point-of-purchase (POP) display materials. These materials serve as a critical component of a retailer's marketing arsenal, as they are strategically positioned at the point where customers make their purchasing decisions. This research paper seeks to investigate the effect of point-of-purchase display materials on the sales and profitability of selected retail outlets in Calabar, Nigeria.

Quantitative data will be collected through surveys and point-of-sale (POS) system data from selected retail outlets, while qualitative insights will be gathered through interviews and observations. By combining both quantitative and qualitative methods, this study aims to provide a
