🌟 The new year is a time for turning over a new leaf or reinforcing a positive habit —whether it’s setting personal goals, focusing on health, or making a difference in the world around us. This year, our resolution is to continue showing up for our local communities. From supporting small businesses to volunteering for worthy causes, we’re committed to giving back and empowering our team to do the same. Volunteering doesn’t just help others—it boosts happiness, reduces stress, and even improves physical health (Mayo Clinic). Let’s make 2025 the year we all strengthen our communities, one act of kindness at a time. 💕 Not sure where to start?

Point-of-sale (POS) ads have become the most preferred media channel, surpassing sponsored events. Consumers find POS ads highly relevant, useful, and trustworthy—qualities that make them stand out and grab attention. These ads also strengthen brand affinity by signaling active brand presence - a key driver of brand growth. While general ad trends show a decline in how fun or entertaining consumers find ads, the reduction in ad repetitiveness and oversaturation has improved overall receptivity. When negatives like these are minimized, consumers are more open to ad exposure. #RetailMedia #ConsumerEngagement #DOOHAdvertising

Independent retailers aren’t just stores—they’re local gems that connect brands to consumers in truly authentic ways. They’re where you’ll find unique, culturally significant products that reflect the neighborhoods they serve. Beyond the shelves, these shops double as community hubs, supporting local initiatives and building relationships that keep customers coming back. And here’s the kicker: 72% of consumers say they prefer shopping at small businesses over larger chains (SimpleTexting). Why? Because small businesses offer a personal touch and a credibility big-box stores just can’t match. Partnering with independent retailers means connecting with communities in a way that feels real and meaningful. Isn’t that the kind of relationship every brand wants? #AuthenticEngagement #ShopSmall #Community #DOOHAdvertising
