Point of Sale Marketing refers to the techniques which lead to sales at the point the purchase is actually made. Mostly it happens in or around an area where a customer completes a transaction such as a mall-counter, meeting table, or an internet page.

Primarily, retailers and restaurants use the Point of Sale Marketing practices. Marketers and businesses use point-of-sale (POS) systems to track the sales record and to increase sales at the time a customer or client makes a purchase.
