CROSS-MERCHANDISING OPPORTUNITIES

  • Fresh and Wall Deli: Position near meat, cheese, hummus, dips/spreads, and olive bar for convenient charcuterie ingredient access. Enhance visibility on the coffin case above cheeses, dips, spreads, salads, and soups to boost impulse purchases.
  • Wine Department: Pair with wine for wine and cheese pairings, elevating the shopping experience and promoting cross-category purchases.
  • Beer and Liquor Aisle: Near beer and liquor, suggest these crackers as a complementary snack option, enhancing beverage choices.
  • Produce Department: Place near grapes, apples, and cheese displays to inspire balanced and appetizing platters and pairings.
  • Seasonal Displays: During barbecue and summer outdoor picnics, position alongside barbecue essentials or picnic supplies.
  • Near Soup: In grocery, fresh, and frozen sections, pair with soup to promote as a side or topping.

CREATIVE MERCHANDISING

  • Take-and-Bake or Fresh Artisan Breads: While artisan breads offer a hearty option, these flatbread crackers provide a lighter alternative without compromising on flavor or texture. Whether for a quick appetizer, a light lunch, or a gourmet charcuterie spread, these crackers offer endless possibilities, making them a perfect addition to any bread display.
  • Canned Tuna: Both canned tuna and flatbread crackers are perceived as healthy snack options. Customers can create tuna salad sandwiches, tuna melts, or simply enjoy them alongside a serving of tuna for a satisfying snack or light meal.
  • Center Aisles Next to Dried Fruits, Nuts, Pickles, Olives, Honey and Fruit Spreads: Placing displays in center aisles alongside other charcuterie staples is a fantastic idea for merchandising. This strategy facilitates impulse purchases and encourages customers to explore new flavor and ingre-dient combinations.
