We carry thousands of items. Within all of those items we decided to launch a new category of "Impulse items." This category will help you easily find items to stock upfront in your stores so you can create a gauntlet at checkout. Impulse goods are products that people buy without planning. Retailers place these items near the checkout counters of Supermarkets, Gas stations, Hardware and other retail outlets. Products such as chocolate, sweet & salty snacks, gum, candy plus batteries round out the top items. 

To make them appear more attractive, most impulse displays do one of three things:

• Offer a great price 
• Remind the customer to purchase something they might need or have forgotten
• Encourage add-ons that work with a variety of items in your store

Here’s how you can use impulse displays in your merchandising strategy to increase revenue and provide more value to your shoppers.

Part of increasing visibility for impulse items means placing merchandise where customers are sure to see it. Here are some creative ways to use impulse displays without coming across as salesy or pushy:
