Lastly, point of sale systems limit the use of unnecessary paper and other waste from traditional payment systems. Beyond just point of sale touchpoints, POS technology is used in many instances including:
- Curbside pickups and deliveries

Partnership With VisualFizz
ReSource POS had previously hired VisualFizz to conduct a B2B tech marketing campaign for the company. The success of the project earned us the trust from ReSource POS to work together again on this larger project with even higher expectations.
This time, ReSource POS and Zebra Technologies contacted VisualFizz about implementing a co-branded paid advertising campaign on LinkedIn that followed several objectives in order to accomplish Zebra’s goals of increasing their ebook downloads, sales and educating customers of their new products. VisualFizz implemented the following tactics to deliver the desired results.
- Created a custom landing page on resourcepos.com for Zebra’s ebook, and directed traffic to this page.
- Collected contact information by adding a form to the landing page for the sales team.
- Increased search engine’s contextual understanding of ReSource Point of Sale and Zebra Technologies connections by adding important keywords to the landing page.
- Grew ReSource Point of Sale’s LinkedIn followers and developed its overall community through paid LinkedIn campaigns.
Web Design
VisualFizz outlined a dedicated Zebra Technologies landing page hosted on the ReSource Point of Sale website that included a gated form requesting customer information in exchange for the ebook. The landing page also included product information.
The ebook section implemented specific messaging detailing ways in which technology benefits the hospitality and retail industry. The landing page concluded with a clear Call To Action for customers to schedule a consultation with ReSource Point of Sale experts for more info.
Paid Advertising
After the foundation was set with the landing page, VisualFizz outlined and executed a LinkedIn campaign to target the appropriate retail and hospitality decision makers by industry, company and role that were not already aware of the brand.
VisualFizz used various creative assets to run two separate campaigns in April and October on LinkedIn with an audience custom-built by our experts to reach various Hospitality industry employees like QSR and restaurant owners, CIOs and Directors of Technology. Utilizing AB testing of creative, messaging and audiences, VisualFizz maximized the impact for the best ROI to Zebra and ReSource Point of Sale. Once these campaigns concluded, VisualFizz gathered analytics to understand critical audience insights from each campaign to fuel the next, and presented them to the client.
How Paid Digital Advertising is Impactful to Driving Business
According to a study by Oberlo, internet users across the globe spent an average of 415 minutes a day online in 2021. That’s just under seven hours per day! Consumers are splitting this time between a variety of social platforms on a host of different devices. Paid digital advertising is a beneficial way to get information in front of the right audiences for maximum impact and ROI. It works because modern consumers are presented with the ads in a less invasive way on online and social platforms they are familiar with. This targeted approach also generates a plethora of valuable data to analyze related to a specific ad or campaign.
Ad Creatives
VisualFizz designed the paid advertising content with a focus on both brands for the digital advertising campaigns on LinkedIn.
In order to optimize for the most resonating creatives, VisualFizz created several versions of each ad using different visuals, colors, copy and CTAs and understand the creatives that yield the greatest results. All components of these creative assets tied back to one or both of the brands’ style guidelines.

After each campaign had come to a close, VisualFizz set out to measure the data of the digital ads. We found positive insights that both ReSource Point of Sale and Zebra Technologies were thrilled about.
