New studies and statistics help determine cooler door layouts that will maximize profits.
In the off-premise and grocery accounts, the customer base and the number of cooler doors, and overall space can vary widely. Erik Yerkes, Kramer Beverage’s Space Management
Specialist, says that accounts should, “Recognize two strategies to maximize cooler door optimization: product flow and category captains.”
Each cooler door should have a flow that makes it convenient for a consumer to shop. Depending on how many doors an account has, they should be broken into easily recognizable categories. One example of a flow would be a single-serve door, followed by FMBs (leading with seltzers), ciders, crafts, imports, premium/domestic, and economy.
But how can consumers easily recognize each cooler door’s category? By the door’s category captain, a high-velocity product that indicates what type of products that door will hold. For example, if a consumer is entering a store looking for Corona 12-packs, the last thing you want is for them to be looking high and low for their desired product. Having that Corona 12-pack as a category captain placed front and center in your import door, helps consumers shop.
