At FPP we consider the sharing of content and knowledge to be one of our principal responsibilities. We’ve created FPP Checkout to allow us to deliver against this.

The purpose of this platform is to simplify the consumption of content. With so many sources in both the offline and online world, it’s easy to fall behind on essential reading. Checkout finds relevant, up-to-date information and delivers it to you in one easily-accessible environment. What’s more, we also use Checkout to provide FPP category analysis and opinion whenever and wherever relevant.

Checkout is a platform designed with you in mind. And that doesn’t just apply to the content we deliver, but also the way in which we deliver it. We provide information that isn’t just relevant to the industry as a whole, but relevant to you as an individual.

If you click on ‘My Account’, you’ll be able to select the categorical content that is of interest to you. This will allow us to prioritise the content that we know you like.

We use a number of sources for the articles featured on Checkout. Whilst we won’t necessarily cover all of the publications you access, below is a list of the most common to try and give you as much as possible in one place:

How brands can make their way into shoppers’ Christmas dinner plans

Why do so many brands invest their marketing spend in-store, when shoppers have already decided what products they are going to buy and are very unlikely to change their minds?

The trick is for brands to activate their campaigns and promote their discounted products much earlier in the shopper journey, way before they reach the store.

For Christmas, digital and OOH advertising should take priority. Not only do both channels target those shoppers at the right moment of Christmas dinner planning, but they can do so in a natural and organic way. Brands can reach their audience on the right channels and take advantage of advanced technologies such as geo-targeted social media and geo-programmatic tools. What’s more, these marketing channels are far more measurable than your traditional above-the-line campaigns, so it’s a win-win.

If brands are to invest in-store during this period, they need to ensure they activate media that will achieve genuine visibility and ideally link it to any secondary space they’ve secured, or promotions they are running.
