Supermarket Poster Advertising: Poster ads generally placed next to store entrance or store parking lot.
Shelf Display Advertising: Shelf display ads are typically small placards that are placed on products shelves that promote new products or special deals.
Register Receipt Advertising: Advertising on the back of receipts (often referred to as register tape advertising) is a classic way to deliver coupons to consumers. Studies have shown that a high percentage of shoppers retain the coupons or offers on the back of grocery store receipts to use on a future shopping day.
Checkout Divider Advertising: Checkout lane divider advertising is a common and inexpensive way to reach the shopper in a captive setting. The grocery divider advertisements contain bold graphics and images that resonate with consumers long after the shopping is done.
Overhead Audio Advertising: Overhead audio advertising (also known as radio advertising) consists of audio messages that play while shoppers peruse the aisles in-between music sets.
Hand Sanitizer Advertising: Static/print and digital/LED advertising displays on hand sanitizers typically placed near front of store for customers to sanitize their hands as they enter and exit the store.
Also consider convenience store / liquor store advertising.
