Abstract
A method to maintain fresh product-source-to-consumer relationship-building information for a product source at a plurality of point-of-consumer-purchasing-decision locations (12, 13, 14, and 15) at physical retail establishments (10). Concise displays of product are provided at such locations, which displays include dynamic displays (21) that convey the fresh information as obtained from storage memory (23). The memory contents can be changed in various ways by representatives of the product source to ensure that fresh content is available for presentation. Initiation and/or expiration dates and/or other contextual triggers can be used to trigger use and/or discontinuation of all or part of the stored information content.
