POP Displays for Cross-Merchandising
Cross-merchandising is one of the most effective ways to increase basket size in retail. By pairing complementary products in a single point-of-purchase (POP) display, brands can encourage impulse buys and highlight product synergies. Well-designed cross-merchandising displays must balance structural integrity with creative graphics to hold multiple SKUs securely while capturing shopper attention.
Why Cross-Merchandising Works
Shoppers often overlook product pairings when items are placed in separate aisles. POP displays solve this by bringing products together in a single, convenient location.
- Encourages impulse purchases.
- Educates consumers on product compatibility.
- Strengthens brand visibility and retailer relationships.
- Increases revenue per shopper visit.
Structural Considerations for Multi-SKU Displays
Cross-merchandising displays require careful engineering to hold different shapes and weights.
- Compartmentalized trays: Keep SKUs organized and accessible.
- Reinforced shelving: Prevent sagging under uneven product loads.
- Flexible layouts: Allow for multiple packaging sizes.
- Retail compliance: Dimensions must fit chain-specific guidelines.
Graphics That Highlight Product Pairings
Graphics play a key role in cross-merchandising by showing shoppers why products belong together.
- Use bold imagery to connect items visually.
- Highlight bundle savings or promotional pricing.
- Position brand messaging where both products share visibility.
- Ensure graphics remain clear even when product stock is low.
Examples of Cross-Merchandising POP Displays
- Snacks and beverages: Pairing chips with soda or beer.
- Health and beauty: Combining shampoo with conditioner or styling products.
- Electronics: Packaging batteries alongside small devices.
- Household goods: Cleaning products displayed with tools or accessories.
