Ways to Display
 Building your
own racks
can be an
easy and
cool way to
display
product
 Using the
promotional
display that
comes with some
items is a great
way to showcase
specific product
 Recipes are
excellent to
highlight items and
make a nice
display
Education Counts
 Healthy options (Chop) is a great way to help customers
make more informed choices
 Showing off your
variety of produce is
enticing and a good
way to educate
customers on how to
use certain products
 Sampling is another great
way to educate customers
and highlight new products
and recipes
