What is a POS and how to optimize the point of sale to sell more?

If you think the POS is just the place where the customer pays... we need to talk. Because that little corner of your business universe is MUCH more than a cash register. The POS (Point of Sale) is the final scene of a marketing masterpiece – and it deserves a standing ovation!

At Pit Lane Advisors we always say it: selling isn’t magic, it’s strategy. Knowing how to optimize the point of sale can turn an ordinary space into a true decision-making machine.

So, what exactly is a POS?

It’s the physical or digital space where your customer makes the final decision: to buy (or not). It could be your store counter, the bar in your café, the checkout page on your website, or even a strategically placed shelf. It’s the place where all your communication and marketing efforts converge.

And yes, this is where the customer says: “I’ll take it.” Or… “Meh, maybe not.”

Why is it key to selling more?

Because if done right, the POS can multiply your sales without spending more on ads. Here’s where the magic happens:

• Product presentation

• Clear and helpful signage (please, no headaches!)

• Key messaging

• Visual (and emotional) triggers

• The customer experience

  
  

Everything matters. EVERYTHING.

From how you display a promo to whether your customer waits in line thinking, “I’m starting to regret this.”

And how do you optimize a POS?

With intention, strategy, and an external perspective that spots opportunities where you only see “the usual.”
