Learn the 5 key rules for displaying meat and cold cuts in refrigerated counters

First, the counter must look like it has a lot of products in it all day long. Empty spaces should be replenished on a regular basis. A customer who sees the end of a given product subconsciously expects low quality, and this discourages shopping. The impression of abundance can be created with the help of accessories such as a cascade or decorations.

At the same time, when filling the counter with products, remember not to obstruct the ventilation. To ensure that the temperature in the chamber is consistently low enough, retailers must remember to close the displays with curtains.

Divide the assortment into groups, e.g. sausages, poultry, grilled products, etc. This way, you can be sure that the customer will compare all the variants from a given segment.

In each group, arrange the products to emphasize the contrasts. Meat, cold cuts and sausages are products of similar colors. Therefore, in order to have a chance to be noticed, the most visually different ones should be placed next to each other.

Highlight the most expensive products, placing them in the most prominent place. The sale also uses the method in which the cheapest products are at the beginning of the customer path, and when the customer reaches the seller, he has the most expensive ones in front of him. This way, the seller has a better chance to talk to the customer about the meats with the highest margin.

Each type of meat is displayed differently

Surely you've heard that poultry fillets should be placed in hearts, wings should be scattered in a container, and a broth portion should be wrapped in skin.

Extras that increase sales

The sale doesn't end with what you put inside the refrigerated counter. It is good to support the sale with an appropriate offer of complementary products, i.e. those with which we most often eat meat or cold cuts. You can place a small stand with basic spices or sauces on the counter.
