Selling your range

So you’ve selected your range, trained the team to deliver the perfect serve, now’s the time to shout about your range.

Merchandising is a combination of product display, visual sales messages, point of sale and menus. The correct use of merchandising can lead to drink choices that are more profitable for you, and getting it right could lead to an increase in consumer spend per head by 9%.

Setting your fridge for success

Proper fridge layout can significantly boost sales. Arrange items logically for easy access, while enticing customers to buy higher-margin products.

Prioritise the top and middle shelves for premium, niche, and new items. Use the bottom shelf for core essentials, kids' products, and mixers.

Stack or block similar products vertically or horizontally for maximum impact, ensuring at least two facings of each. Give extra space to high-margin products, as these are the most profitable.

Maximising drink sales through effective menu design

Display excellence

Eye level is buy level, so these places are the prime selling positions or hot spots in your outlet where customers are most likely to be influenced.  

Make it bold. If you want to push a particular product you can't beat a big display. Use products or a combination of point of sale and products to make an eye catching block display that will disrupt the customers normal field of vision.

Keep any displays clean and well lit, and back it up with staff training on the featured products so you can convert interest into purchase. Keep it fresh, your display should be regularly refreshed to keep customers interested.
