The Apple iPad is much more than an entertainment device. Retailers can use this in their stores to drive sales and improve shopper engagement.
Inside your retail store, at the sales counter and at other secure high traffic areas, the Apple iPad can be used to draw attention to products or offers you want to feature.
It is a hip promotional device which offers more interactivity than a simple sign or a poster.
You can have the iPad scroll through photos with selected music playing in the background. How much better would this be than your current promotional tools?
The iPad would be noticed because it is such new technology. Once your shoppers are over that excitement they would notice what is being promoted and that is where the Apple iPad could be a proactive addition to your sales team.
Disruption is an essential element of visual merchandising in retail. The iPad could work as a terrific disruptive influence in any retail environment - because it offers visual movement as well as sound. You could quite easily knock a display together for the iPad to promote an in-store special offer and see for yourself if it works for your type of business.
Using the photo display tools readily available today with the iPad is a start. I expect these to become significantly enhanced over the next few months with plenty more tools for retailers and other businesses to use to promote offers.
Follow these simple steps for using the iPad in your retail store.
1. Choose an item to promote. Photograph this.
2. Use the photo software available for the iPad to create a slide loop explaining and promoting the offer.
3. Choose some music to play.
4. Setup the iPad at the counter and press play.
5. Watch how customers interact and track sales of the item being promoted.
If the results are not what was expected, go back and try again. If they do meet expectations, run it again, maybe trying a different location. It is essential to gather information about where this type of promotion works and where it does not.
Run a range of campaigns in your retail store for three months, tracking the learnings and developing a longer term plan for use of this technology to drive sales.
If the sales are not there then cease the investment. This has to be about incremental business.
Good retail software will help you track the success of the iPad in driving the business. Be sure to rely on factual information when assessing the performance off the device for your operation.
