Tip for Merchandise Placement: Boosting Impulse Buys

POS SOFTWARE

In brick-and-mortar retail, your shop's layout is the most potent weapon. Here is a tip on how you can display your goods that can seriously boost sales and make shopping way more fun for customers if we are focusing on impulse buys. 

The Irresistible Power of Impulse Buys

We've all fallen for a tasty treat or fun gadget while waiting in line to pay. Those little treasures by the register are retail gold! Here's how to make the most of them:

Shape Matters!

Goods stacked in a pyramid

In the vertical direction, have you ever noticed how supermarkets pile fruit and veggies in pyramids? They do this because it catches the eye and makes you want to grab something. The same trick works for your impulse buys! Instead of lining things up in a boring row, arrange them in eye-catching shapes.

It works in the horizontal direction, too; move the shelves to make a triangle shape like this, if possible.

Make it POP! Eye-catching displays are everything for impulse items. Forget boring rows; use baskets, little stands, or fun props to make things stand out and beg to be picked up. Location, Location, Location! Your checkout counter is prime real estate. Put the irresistible stuff right in front of customers at eye level, so they have plenty of time to browse while they wait. Mix it Up! Keep those impulse buys fresh! Swap out items often and offer a surprising mix – candy, magazines, maybe a nifty little tool, something locally made...a little surprise goes a long way.

Shelf Savvy - Your Main Display Powerhouse

Your shelves are where most of the magic happens. Here's how to make them work for you:

Shops have a huge advantage—you can make the shopping experience personal and exciting! Mastering how you place your goods'll tempt impulse buys, create a fun store to explore, and keep customers coming back for more. Get creative, experiment, and watch those sales climb!
