In-store signage<\/a> is a powerful, yet often underestimated, tool for influencing consumer decision-making and purchasing behavior. In this article, we look at one effect signage has on customer decision-making called \u201cpriming.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Attention and Information Processing<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"A<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Grocery stores are information-rich environments where the goal of signage is to capture shopper attention and direct their information processing. In fact, studies have demonstrated<\/a> how strategically placed signs can prime shoppers towards specific products \u2014 even if those products are not explicitly promoted.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

What Is Priming?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"A<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Priming, in this context, means that subtle cues and suggestions influence a shopper’s choices without them realizing it.<\/strong> This effect highlights the ability of signage to guide the initial stages of decision-making, particularly for shoppers with limited prior knowledge or brand loyalty.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How Does Priming Work?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"Mom<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Priming works by activating pre-existing or implicit associations<\/strong>, which are mental connections formed through past experiences and cultural conditioning. These associations operate below the level of conscious awareness, subtly influencing our decisions without us realizing it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A strategically placed sign highlighting “healthy recipes” near the produce section, for instance, primes shoppers to think about health and wellness. Even a glance at the words \u201chealthy recipes\u201d can subtly influence their product choices<\/strong>, leading them to pick up more fruits and vegetables even if they hadn’t planned to do so beforehand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Na\u00efve Advantage<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"Woman<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

As we mentioned, priming works best on shoppers with limited prior knowledge or brand loyalty <\/strong>because their decision-making landscape is less cluttered, allowing priming cues to exert a stronger influence. Existing neural networks are less “busy,” facilitating the activation and propagation of primed associations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) studies support this notion. For individuals with limited brand knowledge, research has demonstrated<\/a> that exposure to brand logos primed specific areas of the brain associated with brand evaluation. Conversely, for brand-loyal consumers, priming activated reward processing regions, suggesting a pre-existing positive association rather than a novel influence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How to Use Priming Signage<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"A<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Grocery store operators can use signage to nudge shopper behavior using the actionable techniques described below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Spatial Proximity & the Halo Effect<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The halo effect<\/strong>, a well-documented cognitive bias<\/a> describes how positive attributes associated with one object influence our perception of another.<\/strong> In a grocery store context, this translates to strategically associating a well-regarded product (the “halo source”) with another product (the “target”). Shoppers, taking a mental shortcut, unconsciously transfer the positive perception of the halo source to the target<\/strong>, increasing its appeal. \u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Research also demonstrates<\/a> the power of spatial proximity<\/strong>. For example, placing signage that promotes organic produce (halo source) near conventional produce (target) leads some shoppers to perceive the conventional options as healthier by association.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Scenario #1: Healthy by Association<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Building on these principles, placing informational signs near, but not directly promoting, a target product can increase its selection.<\/strong> Signs highlighting healthy recipes that feature a specific vegetable placed strategically next to a less-noticed vegetable variety can subconsciously nudge shoppers towards the unfamiliar option, creating a mental association between the product and the desired outcome (a healthier lifestyle).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Scenario #2: Sell a Lifestyle<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Another example would be to place a sign near a sparkling water display that evokes a sense of luxury and sophistication. The sign could feature a minimalist design with a tagline like “Elevate Your Everyday.” It could also include a subtle image of a spa or a serene natural setting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this case, the imagery and messaging can increase the perceived value<\/strong> of sparkling water by tapping into emotions like relaxation and tranquility. This signage creates a stronger emotional connection with the product because it features an aspirational state of living \u2014 luxury and refinement. Positioning sparkling water as a premium lifestyle product can drive sales of this higher-margin item.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Scenario #3: Fresh by Design<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Furthermore, a different way to apply these principles to signage would be, for example, to display signage showcasing fresh, vibrant produce (halo source) near less visually appealing frozen fruits and vegetables (target)<\/strong>. Ultimately, this connection enhances the frozen items\u2019 perceived freshness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Scenario #4: The Gourmet Glow<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The halo effect also primes customers when positive attributes of a halo source are displayed on signage near the target.<\/strong> For instance, signage promoting award-winning cheeses (halo source) displayed near crackers or bread (target) imbues the target with an air of sophistication, increasing its perceived value.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Prime Your Profits<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"A<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Grocery store signage can prime customers towards specific products and behaviors. Utilizing techniques like the halo effect and spatial proximity, retailers can subtly influence shoppers’ decision-making processes to move more target products and boost sales.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
