Boost Sales with a Cardboard Display

A cardboard display is a wonderful way for a brand to promote its products and encourage shoppers in an outlet to make impulse purchases. They are a simple, affordable, and effective way to boost sales and market awareness of a brand. To ensure they work as desired, here are a few tips you should implement. 

Cardboard display eye-catching designs 

Though the design of most cardboard corrugated displays is simple, you can use color, imagery, and even light features to draw attention. Capturing the attention of shoppers is the goal of these displays. Once their interest is stirred, they will then become more inclined to read whatever information about the products is displayed and become tempted to make a purchase. Use a design that is ideally suited to the type of product you are trying to market and the atmosphere of the store. While bold colors with light features may be a good draw in family retail stores, the impact may not be as effective in more adult and high-end outlets.  

Simplified cardboard display

Do not go overboard with your design. A cardboard display is usually placed near the checkout counters. This is where shoppers will be idling as they wait for their turn. A simple but colorful display will attract their attention without appearing too overwhelming. Keeping the display clutter-free will allow onlookers to focus their attention. That is unless you are trying to attract another demographic like children who are more drawn to over-the-top displays.  

Another reason to keep the design simple is to allow for easy assembly. The last thing you want is for the store attendants or your merchandisers to struggle when it comes to putting together the display. The fewer pieces they must put together, the more easily they can have it quickly set up and draw attention. Complicated setups may discourage the employees from giving your display priority when they have other tasks they need to attend to.  

Stock sample sizes 

Customers are more easily tempted to try a product when it is sample or small-sized. A small size means they are unlikely to spend much on the product but still get to sample its goodness. This can happen even if they have bought a competitor’s products in massive quantities. The sample size will encourage them to give another brand a shot. Trying to push your product into large sizes is likely to cause prospective customers to avoid it as it will mean spending much more.  

Eye-Popping Cardboard Display

Whether you are displaying your product at a trade show or at the marketplace, you will need to find a way to present it so it will grab a potential customer’s attention. It does no good to have a product display that blends into the background. All you need to create an eye-popping cardboard display is some imagination and a good designer to assist you.

Cardboard displays can be small, to hold a single item, or large enough to hold an entire product line. One of the most familiar cardboard displays might be the displays in which candy and gum are displayed at the checkout line. Usually the box has the logo on it and that’s about it. You probably notice the products in the box and can’t even remember what the box looked like. Another type of cardboard display is a display you might find at the end of an aisle at the grocery store. The display might be around 4 feet tall and have some artwork on it to grab your attention. These displays have more pizazz to them and have a better chance at attracting a potential consumer.

Many times, color plays a role in what makes a display stand out. Imagine your product has white packaging. Think about what would make that color more visible. A dark color, like navy blue or emerald green, would make it stand out. A pale shade like baby blue wouldn’t allow the white packaging to pop. Choose your coloring wisely. Another factor is the logo or artwork. The logo or artwork that is printed onto your cardboard display should tell the consumer what the product is, while not overwhelming them with too much information. Sometimes less is more.

Besides a box type of cardboard display, there are cardboard POP displays. These displays usually have shelves or vertical slots on which products are displayed. With a cardboard pop display you can really use your imagination! If your product is balloons, perhaps the cardboard pop display could be in the shape of a clown. Or if you are selling bird supplies, the pop display could be a in the shape of a tree. If the product is endorsed by a celebrity, a life sized image of that celebrity on the pop display has been known to attract a lot of attention.

Come up with the right combination of color, size and artwork on your cardboard pop display and you’ll soon have the kind of eye-popping display that will attract customers to your product.
