Success in the Cold Vault

Success in the Cold Vault. The cold vault competition is a never-ending battle.  C-Store retailers that want to optimize sales of high margin products must be willing to take the necessary steps to ensure that their cold vault is stylish, easy to use, eye catching, and welcoming to shoppers.

Merchandising equipment in the cold vault puts product literally at the customer’s fingertips.  For sales of cold vault beverages to be at their highest, the presentation and ease of use must be at its best.  Equipment that does not allow products to easily glide to the front, make it difficult for customers to get to a product or even know that a product is available.  Combining the correct type of merchandising at the correct angle, packages should systematically glide to the front. The angle is very important; Too little angle and products won’t slide forward, too much angle and products fall over. C-Store retailers must be bold and decisive when making decisions on how to outfit their cold vault.  Proper equipment and subsequent use can directly affect the performance of their C-store.  The right merchandising solutions paired with the right products creates success.
