Abstract
An expanded display unit for communication with a customer in a supermarket checkout facility is furnished with information from a system responsive to UPC signals provided by a scanner. Such system discerns selected products selected for purchase from such UPC signals, such products being those in connection with which a promotional plan has been preestablished, either for such products or other products. The system then provides information implementing the promotional plan to the display unit, which may be customer-interactive for the dispensing of coupons or the like.
