fresh produce
Attract shoppers with abundant fresh produce
Fresh produce is a key sales driver
Research shows that a high-quality fruit and vegetable offering is an important reason why shoppers choose to shop at a specific store and a quarter of them will switch stores if they are not satisfied with quality and presentation. Furthermore, fresh produce is proven to drive basket size and allows physical stores a competitive advantage over online retailers as shoppers prefer to see, touch and select their own fruit and vegetables. This preference might be due to the fact that many shoppers do not trust the quality of produce purchased online.
Though research urges the importance of an abundantly displayed fruit and vegetable selection, many shoppers are still not satisfied with their local store. This can be a competitive advantage for retailers as getting the category right presents a significant upside.
Drive sales while reducing shrink
While a fresh and abundant offering of fruit and vegetables can help drive sales, this comes with a potential downside: shrink. Not only does unsold product impact profit negatively, but managing waste adds significant costs. With the focus on sustainability increasing for both retailers and shoppers, wasting food meant for human consumption is a significant social and environmental concern. Another issue can be labour cost as creating visually stunning displays often requires more attention from staff, as do the frequently changing prices typical for the category.
