Produce Fixtures
The success of your produce department depends on far more than having the best produce available. If you do not have the right styles of produce fixtures to prepare and display the huge variety of produce that you need to carry to be competitive your customers are likely to go to your competition. In this day and age the last thing most grocers need or want is for their customers to go to another store simply because their produce is displayed better and looks more appealing.
When it comes to produce fixtures, the term describes so many different aspects of putting your display together successfully. The large variety that most grocery stores carry today call for an equally wide variety of display units to make sure that each and every variety is displayed in such a way as to make it look the most appetizing. This is done not only to capture the customer who has come in looking for a particular type of produce, but also to entice the impulse buyer to purchase them as well.
Most stores know that a fair percentage of sales are by impulse buyers who like the way something looks.
To this end the produce fixtures you buy should be capable of being used to display a large variety of produce without having to be modified. Many of today's top display have interchangeable and easily moved dividers so that they can be changed quickly as the different seasonal fruits come into season. With so many fruits and vegetables coming from overseas, the seasons change very rapidly and most stores cannot afford to have produce that they cannot get out on display the moment it comes in.
The latest fashion in produce fixtures in the US are the European style tables. These are set up to where you can lay them flat for certain produce or tilt them at varying angles to display produce that you really want your customers to see. These tables are the perfect way to display your weekly specials and those items that you are promoting, many of them are on wheels allowing you to use them in other departments around your store.
How you choose to display the fruits and vegetables in your produce department says a lot to your customers about the rest of your store. In most grocery stores the first area customers see when they walk into the store is the produce department. If you have a well lit, well organized produce department, your customers will feel more comfortable with shopping and spending their money in your store.
