Produce Merchandising Guide
Merchandising converts good assortment into measurable category growth. Use this guide to plan set design, signage, cross-merchandising, and promotional execution.
Set design fundamentals
Build sets around shopper missions, not supplier categories. Tropical fruits, tropical roots, and culinary aromatics each deserve their own visible zone with consistent signage.
Signage and storytelling
Signage that names origin, variety, and culinary use outperforms generic produce signage on velocity and basket attachment.
Cross-merchandising
Tropical produce pairs strongly with juice, dairy alternatives, pantry items, prepared foods, and beverage. Cross-merchandised displays drive incremental basket lift.
