Advertising is a great tool that most companies will employ at one time or another. Special events or discount offers will surely have to be imparted to the intended targets and customers can surely make or break a company if they buy or do not buy in large enough numbers. To this end, promotional displays keep all the advertising leaflets in one place, while supplying the customer with all the details of what is going on. Even a sweepstakes entry box, mostly seen at supermarket outlets and such has been made up specifically to attract attention and to encourage everyone to have a go at this competition.

Of course, we are all bombarded with information on a daily basis. Competitions, special offers, and anything else that is going on in the vicinity is usually printed onto flyers of all descriptions and thrust at us wherever we go. This may seem a little like overkill to many, and in some cases it is, but how else would we be given this information? Yes, Advertising on the radio or TV is also used, but this is prohibitively expensive in most instances.

So getting any information we want to impart put onto flyers seems like the easiest, and one of the cheapest, ways to show people what is on offer. But these leaflets are notoriously difficult to keep tidy so there are some companies which offer all kinds of cardboard containers, printed up in whatever design is deemed necessary, for just such a purpose.

The container itself can also be used to advertise some details and will surely attract attention if designed well. Indeed, the more eye-catching it is the better. Most consumer outlets have several of these containers dotted around here and there and they serve to keep the desks tidy if nothing else.

But they do serve another purpose too, and this is one that a lot of people do not consider. If a customer has to ask several details from a store employee, that employee cannot carry out their duties efficiently since they are constantly being stopped from carrying out their work. By putting any relevant details on a flyer, and this could be anything from upcoming sales to the website of the company, the customer can pick up a leaflet and take it away without bothering the staff too much.

Store competitions too bring out more customers and when they want to know what is being won or how they go about the competition etc, the staff get inundated with questions about everything. By having a competition form waiting to be filled in at the checkout desk, the customer is given one without any fuss and all the questions and answers should be on that form.

On the desk will also be the entries container so people who have completed the forms can just drop them off without having to communicate anything to the shop staff and this means that they can serve others who may be seeking their attention.
