Promotional Displays
To promote means encouragement on progress, growth, or the acceptance of something, but in this case it means advertising or publicity. Promotional displays are seen in lots of places in stores, grocery stores, trade shows, even within companies themselves.
Typically, these are meant to sell a product, give information, or show a sale or clearance. Again, they are designed by advertisers and/or graphic designers depending on the company. Promotional displays try to catch the attention of passer-bys and by-standers.
I suggest next time you go into a grocery store see how many promotional displays you find. I bet you never noticed them before.
