Impulse Buys That Work: How Card Games Boost Point-of-Sale Sales

Point-of-sale (PoS) areas are valuable retail spaces, often driving spontaneous purchases that customers add to their basket at the very last moment. Stocking the right items here can make a measurable difference to sales. Compact, affordable and widely appealing, card games are an ideal choice for boosting point-of-sale performance.

Point-of-sale sales are purchases made at the checkout area or counter. These are typically unplanned buys, influenced by visibility, price and convenience. Retailers who place the right products here can increase their average transaction value without requiring additional floor space.

Card games tick all the boxes for effective PoS products. They are compact, engaging and suitable for a wide customer base, making them excellent impulse purchases. Below are a number of benefits for placing card games at point-of-sale areas.

Affordable card games encourage spontaneous purchases from parents, gift buyers and casual shoppers. Titles like Guess That Action are small enough to fit neatly on a counter display, or at least nearby, while their fun concepts make them easy to pick up on a whim.

Point-of-sale games add value to the consumer’s shopping trip, offering a quick gift solution or family activity. Customers appreciate having simple, entertaining options to pick from and available right at the checkout.

Card games are lightweight, compact and simple to store. Retailers can keep extra stock on hand without requiring large amounts of shelf or storeroom space, making them easy to replace when point-of-sale stock gets low.

Monitoring which card games sell best at PoS helps retailers better understand their customer base. Seasonal titles, party games and family favourites all provide useful insights into purchasing trends.

Placing themed card games at a point-of-sale during seasonal peaks can significantly boost sales. Spooky Goose is a natural fit for Halloween displays, with its spooky artwork and memory-based gameplay. During Christmas, titles like Guess That Noise Vol. 2 or Guess That Doodle perform particularly well as stocking fillers or last-minute gifts.
