Citrus is a staple in the produce department, and shoppers continue to explore the expanding variety available year-round from navels to mandarins to specialty products. Collaborated merchandising efforts with a trusted supplier, such as Sunkist, will yield even greater citrus sales.
DISPLAY IDEAS
There are many promotional opportunities when displaying citrus. Take advantage of Sunkist’s wide array of retail marketing programs, including sampling, digital coupons, high-graphic secondary display bins and in-store point of sale materials that highlight flavor profiles, nutritional benefits and recipes to build awareness, drive trial and increase sales.
Engage with consumers and educate them in-store with our new merchandising portfolio through display bins that feature big, bold fruit images and simple, clear messaging that resonates with shoppers. They are available for every variety in square and quarter bins with taglines such as The Essential Orange™ and Dramatically Delicious™.
Use Sunkist’s newly released organic pack-aging this season, including variety-specific packs with a multi-variety option that celebrates the brand’s California heritage with the iconic Sunkist lollipop logo, first introduced in the ‘60s brought back by popular demand. The Blood orange consumer carton and a wide variety of square bins open up cross-promotion opportunities for retailers. This approach helps increase selling space within a small footprint while promoting 2- and 3-pound bags. We can cater to our customer’s unique needs, and we take this customizable approach to drive demand.
CATEGORY MANAGEMENT
Place an added emphasis on Category Management. Through our Category Management program, Sunkist is able to stay on top of consumer trends as they relate to our citrus categories, packaging solutions and benchmarking opportunities for our partners.
