With short, human-centric videos played on smart tablets, shoppers can quickly get a sense if they resonate with the presented products or not.

Looma prides itself on a "people-first storytelling approach and proprietary point-of-decision optimization model aimed at making content both more authentic and more helpful to shoppers seeking transparency in their purchases." This in-store experience enhances discovery, education and immersion and it offers a memorable touchpoint for picking up new or favorite products in stores.
