Many retailers use clear plastic containers to display their products. These can be effective, functional and lucrative. If there is space available for these impulse items they can bring in added revenue for the retailer. If you are a retailer who has a limited amount of space for promoting small items, you might consider using plastic stackable containers.
Evaluate your current impulse item space and ask yourself whether it could be generating more profits for you. Don't just look at the actual surface area but think in all directions. In particular think "up". You might take advantage of the space you have, if you use containers that can actually stack on top of each other. With clear plastic containers you could make the most of your space. The more you display, the more you make.
Is your point of purchase spot crowded, cluttered and unattractive? You might consider organizing it with stackable containers. You could actually double or even triple or space. It just depends how high you want to go. The containers selected should have an interlocking design. This will insure that the containers fit together without toppling over. This is important, as one would not want any accidents where customers are concerned.
These stackable containers would work particularly well at gift shops, toy stores, novelty stores or teacher supply stores. These stores could display items such as erasers, stickers, pencils or bookmarks. Toy stores or novelty stores could benefit by using plastic containers to merchandise small items such as finger puppets, small plush items, wind-up toys, noisemakers or novelty jewelry.
Clear plastic stackable containers would be a perfect fit for candy stores as well. Because of the wide variety of candies to choose from, a retailer could show off more products without taking up more space. This would give customers much more choice. For some things in life, especially candy, more is better. The best plastic for this is PET or PVC. This is important for food storage, as these plastics are FDA approved, so they are safe to store food items in. These plastics will not distort the taste of the food.
A snap on lid would be advisable for using these containers, as there may be times when the container needs to be moved or re-arranged in a display. With the ability to close it, there would be less chance of spillage. This would be a significant issue especially in a store that is displaying edible items. Food items that land on the floor are lost revenue.
Using stackable containers are inexpensive way for many retailers to offer more choices for impulse items to their customers. It seems logical if one has found a "hot spot" for such items they would want to capitalize on that. Stackable containers are an affordable way to expand your space and in turn your business.
