Endcaps 101

Written by Kathy Heil | Mar 27, 2013 10:14:54 PM

In the retail marketing industry, placement is everything. As many of you may (or may not) know, endcaps are one of most highly visible spots in the retail world. They allow for maximum exposure for products and usually offer a preview for what may be in the rest of the aisle. Competition for the right product to display on an endcap can be quite fierce, due to the increased exposure and sales benefits.

Endcaps typically contain items with high profit margins. In grocery stores, this means sodas and snacks. In a wireless store, it may be phone cases and charging cords. By featuring certain products on the endcap, merchandisers hope that a customer will visit the products further down the aisle if their specific brand or flavor is not available in the endcap display. However, it can also increase sales simply because of the convenience factor. Despite whether or not the ideal product is presented in the endcap, it is right there.
