Point-of-Sale Advertising and Promotion
• Point-of-sale tobacco advertising and promotion (POS) has increasingly become a key strategy for the tobacco industry
![Page 4: National Summit on Smokeless and Spit Tobacco](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052603/56815ccd550346895dcadd56/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
What is POS?• Signage at the point-of-sale
![Page 5: National Summit on Smokeless and Spit Tobacco](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052603/56815ccd550346895dcadd56/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)

What is POS?
• Price promotions:– Value-added (buy-one-get-one free,
etc.)– “Buy-downs”
Retailers sell products at discounted rate, tobacco company cuts a check for the amount “lost” by retailer at the end of buy-down period
![Page 7: National Summit on Smokeless and Spit Tobacco](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052603/56815ccd550346895dcadd56/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
What is POS?• Promotional allowances paid to retailers
– Allowances given to retailers to facilitate sales• Shelving• Stocking• Displaying merchandise• Volume rebates
![Page 8: National Summit on Smokeless and Spit Tobacco](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052603/56815ccd550346895dcadd56/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
• POS is largely unregulated by the: – Master Settlement Agreement (1998)– Smokeless Master Settlement Agreement (1998)
• These settlements are legal agreements between the largest tobacco companies and Attorneys General across the country; they restrict the type of marketing that these companies can participate in.
Regulation

Contracting• Usually (but not always) POS is set-up
and enforced through contracts with retailers– Makes it difficult to work with retailers on
voluntary POS reduction policies– Often negotiated at highest corporate level
![Page 10: National Summit on Smokeless and Spit Tobacco](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052603/56815ccd550346895dcadd56/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Contracting• In the past, POS contracts have focused
primarily on cigarette marketing. However, higher taxes and increasing smoke-free laws have forced the industry to begin focusing on “OTP”- Other Tobacco Products

Why is POS Important?• Past research has shown that POS has
been more prevalent in stores where adolescents shop frequently
• Exposure to higher levels of POS increases the likelihood that adolescents will start smoking

Why is POS Important?• Communities with disadvantaged
socioeconomic profiles tend to have the most tobacco advertising
• Smokers of mentholated brands (typically youth & minorities) are more likely to take advantage of promotional offers
