Supermarket display magic: How to make products "jump" into the shopping cart by themselves?
Attention, supermarket owners and display designers! Today we are going to talk about how to use Supermarket display furniture and End cap displays to make your products learn to "self-promote" and fill customers' shopping carts without them noticing the ultimate secret! In this era of attention economy, if your products don't "wink", you can only watch them "lonely die" on the shelves.
Zoning art: let products find their own "circle of friends"
Imagine what would happen if beer and diapers were put together? Don't laugh! This is a classic Supermarket display furniture collocation wisdom that has been recorded in the history of retail! A good product partition is like a seating chart in a high school cafeteria - the beverage area is for sports clubs, the snack area is for gossip teams, and the fresh food area is for the cool academic masters.
Supermarket display furniture using modular design is like playing Tetris. Today you can pile up sunscreen into a beach theme, and tomorrow it can become a stationery castle for the school season. Remember, in this era of appearance, even shelves must learn to "dress up", otherwise customers will think your supermarket is still using Windows 98!
Speaking of End cap displays, they are like "Internet celebrity check-in points" in supermarkets. Think of these end-cap displays as TikTok's popular challenge areas - today it's popular to "eat light and lose weight", tomorrow it's popular to "stay at home hot pot", your products should be ready to "debut" at any time!
End-cap display psychology: "golden advertising space" in supermarkets
End cap displays have the same status in the supermarket industry as the cover photo position of Moments! Studies have shown that the time customers stay in these areas is enough for you to silently say "buy it, buy it, buy it" three times. Putting new products here is as effective as buying a "hot search" for the product; putting promotional products here is like installing a loudspeaker for them: "Don't miss it if you pass by!"
Weekly updates of End cap displays are like giving customers "weekly surprises" - this week is "Instant Noodle Carnival", next week becomes "Potato Chip Film Festival". Once the lights are on and the price tags are lit, even the most frugal aunties can't help but think: "It must be a good deal if it's so conspicuous"! (PhDs in marketing psychology will give a thumbs up after seeing this)
Smart Supermarket display furniture with playful End cap displays is like installing a vending machine in the supermarket. If you don't believe it, try putting chocolate and magazines next to the cash register. I guarantee that even you who are losing weight will think: "Buying a magazine with a piece of chocolate, this is reasonable, right?"
Visual temptation: Let the product "speak"
In this era where appearance is justice, Supermarket display furniture is the "beautification camera" of the product. Using acrylic display stands to display cosmetics is as effective as turning on filters for them; using wooden shelves to display organic food will immediately double the value of cabbage - this is called "the shelf determines the value"!
The use of lighting is even more of a science. When warm light shines on tomatoes, it reminds people of grandma's fried eggs with tomatoes; when cold light shines on mineral water, it seems as if you can hear the sound of snow water in the Alps. A well-designed Supermarket display furniture system can let the products "tell their own stories": "Choose me, choose me, I'm super fresh/super cost-effective/super delicious!"
And End cap displays must learn to "steal the show". Think of them as "pop-up stores" in supermarkets. Today they can be "single dog food specials" and tomorrow they can become "health punk specials". Remember, in this era of information explosion, products that don't "add drama" are not good products!
Promotional psychology: turn discounts into a carnival
Putting promotional products on ordinary shelves? That's like holding a concert in your own bathroom! End cap displays are their Avenue of Stars! Here, the "buy one get one free" slogan is three times larger than the product itself, and the price tag should be the most dazzling red, so that customers' heartbeats will start to accelerate from ten meters away!
Advanced gameplay is to add interactive elements to End cap displays - such as "scan the code to read the review" or "shake to win a prize". This is like adding a game copy to shopping, allowing customers to unknowingly empty their wallets in the joy of "completing the task". After all, there are two things that humans cannot resist: discounts and playing games! (Especially when combined)
The matching Supermarket display furniture must also be able to "assist". Arrange related products into a "couple set" shape, and stack promotional products into a "pyramid" shape. Remember, in this era of universal live broadcasting, even promotional displays must have "Internet celebrity photos", otherwise how can you let customers take photos and post them on WeChat Moments to help you promote for free?
Maintenance tips: Keep the shelves "radiant" forever
No matter how beautiful Supermarket display furniture is, if it is covered with fingerprints and dust, it will make the products look like "unsalable products". Regularly cleaning the shelves is like "applying a mask" to the products, so that they can always be "unsold"!
Material selection is even more critical. Metal shelves are "workplace elites", wooden shelves are "literary youths", and acrylic shelves are "fashion bloggers". Regularly changing the "look" of Supermarket display furniture is like giving the supermarket a micro-plastic surgery - the cost is low and the effect is amazing!
As for End cap displays, they must maintain the quality of "ever-changing stars". Today they are polished to a high shine and used as a digital area, and tomorrow they are hung with ribbons and turned into a children's playground. Remember, in this fast-paced era, even shelves must learn to "become idols" in order to retain the fickle eyes of customers!
Frequently Asked Questions and Answers
1. What kind of supermarket display furniture can best increase the value of goods?
Answer: The one that allows customers to take photos and post them on WeChat Moments! For example, put red wine on an antique bookshelf, or arrange snacks in rainbow colors. In this era of social media, displays that cannot trigger photos are a waste!
2. What products are most effective in End cap displays?
Answer: Put those products that can make customers feel that "Oh my God, I just need this"! For example, put an umbrella at the entrance on a day when the weather forecast predicts it will rain. This trick is more accurate than the weather forecast!
3. How to judge whether the display is effective?
Answer: Just look at the customer's shopping cart! If they all hold the products you carefully displayed, but look confused "Why should I take this", congratulations, your Supermarket display furniture can hypnotize!
4. Is the height of the shelf really important?
Answer: Of course! The golden sight height is like the "hot search position" of the supermarket. At this position, even mineral water can be sold as champagne! Remember: the sight height of adults is the wealth height of the goods!
5. Is lighting really that important?
Answer: It's so important that it makes you cry! The right lighting can make a banana look like 24K gold, and bad lighting can make a steak look like last week. This is called "good lighting, no worries about sales"!
In this era when customers' attention span is shorter than that of goldfish, Supermarket display furniture and End cap displays are your supermarket's "money-making method". With some thought, your products can be transformed from "background" to "protagonist", from "passerby" to "must-buy". Remember, a good display can make the product "jump" into the shopping cart by itself, while a bad display can only make the product "look at the cart and sigh"! Now go and cast some "display magic" on your shelves, maybe tomorrow your products will run to the checkout counter to check out by themselves!
