The Benefits of Custom Food Display Signs and Stands
Great Northern Instore incorporates data-driven and thoroughly researched shopper insights into every display project. Our strategy is based on the information we have gleaned about shopper motivations and needs. As a result, our custom displays are positioned to successfully capture the attention of your target shoppers — helping you achieve your business goals.
Custom food display stands and signs are an excellent way to promote current sales, enhance your brand, or tempt passing customers to grab a packaged food item on the go.
“Out of sight, out of mind” is a true statement — one your business does not want applied to your product.
Instead of letting your food products compete for attention in an aisle of similar items, push it to the forefront with an eye-catching, branded display. Placing your products in high-traffic point-of-purchase (POP) areas around a store is one effective way to entice shoppers to add showcased items to their basket. Food retail display fixtures and signage are a tried and tested way to:
- Promote your brand by displaying printed logos, images and appropriate color schemes.
- Increase sales by encouraging impulse buys.
- Introduce new products — consumers will want to try new things when they are showcased on appealing food display racks.
Food display stands are highly flexible and can be used to effectively showcase many types of products. Great Northern Inhouse custom designs each display and can adapt the size and shape of each structure to best meet your needs. Grocery store displays are a popular static marketing technique used with great success in grocery markets across the country. They vary significantly in style and include shelving racks with custom signage, aisle end caps promoting on-sale items, and carts or dump bin displays holding impulse items.
Free-standing floor racks and full pallets are other high-visibility ways to display food products. Adding snack display stands near the checkout area is a reliable way to draw attention to your products. Many shoppers add an impulsive quick snack to their basket when faced with a tempting selection of items in a food countertop display unit while checking out.
Products to Promote With Retail Food Displays
Great Northern Instore recommends food display stands and signage for items including:
- Packaged snacks: Single-serving snacks are an ideal grab-and-go item often found at the end of an aisle or by a checkout counter.
- Candy: Colorful custom countertop displays effectively advertise confectionery, candy, mints and gum products.
- Fresh produce: Display bins and pallets are a popular way to promote fresh seasonal produce and attract the attention of health-conscious shoppers.
- Meal solutions: Cleverly designed, interesting displays can make it easier for time-strapped shoppers to put together meals for their families using your products.
- Baking and dessert items: Displays of tempting ingredients are a great way to entice shoppers.
- Condiments and salad dressings: Eye-catching display stands provide clear visual information on how to use a product.
- Nutrition bars: Contemporary displays using eco-friendly, natural materials highlight the health benefits of these products.
- Beans and legumes: Interesting wheeled stands showcase the health benefits of these natural products.
- Spices, oils and vinegar: Innovative displays attract shoppers to basics and draw their attention to featured products.
