Benefits of Retail Dump Bin Displays

Dump bins—though they have an unfortunate name—are retail heroes when it comes to displaying bulk items. Commonly used for candy displays and snack items at the checkout, they are perfect for holding a large amount of smaller, individual products (like those candy bars). Dumped in a dump bin, shoppers are enticed to dig in and pick up “one more thing” before paying. That’s one of the reasons you’ll find these heroes at the checkout counter. In fact, a shopper engagement study found that 76% of buying decisions are made at the point of purchase. 

But there’s more to retail dump bins than just displays that boost impulse purchases. They offer many additional benefits that will help boost sales, so think of them as marketing tools for your merchandise that can be used throughout your store. From impulse purchases to increasing brand awareness to maximizing floor space, we discuss 7 benefits to get the most out of retail dump bin displays.  

1. Clear Presentation of Products 

Retail dump bins make it easy for customers to see your merchandise. For instance, acrylic dump bins and wire dump bins allow their contents to be easily visible. But, even wood dump bins show off their contents when tilted at an angle. This ease and accessibility attract customers’ eyes so they can just grab and go. 

 2. Leverage Impulse Purchases 

It’s no surprise that retail dump bins are strategically placed in point-of-purchase locations, such as the checkout lane or other high-traffic areas throughout the store. The placement of retail dump bins is paramount to increased sales and cross-merchandising. Another way to leverage impulse purchases by utilizing dump bins for cross-selling opportunities. Whether it’s at the checkout, beverage fridge, or end cap. For example, in the harsh winter months, placing Chapstick in a dump bin by checkout may help remind those with chapped lips to pick up a tube, resulting in a higher sale than if the Chapstick were not strategically placed there!

3. Encourage Brand Awareness 

Dump bin displays also provide an opportunity to build brand awareness. They are easily customizable and when prominently placed in the store they can help improve brand recognition. Customized with your brand’s themes, colors, and/or logos, they do double duty as a merchandise display and a chance to reinforce a brand’s visibility to improve customer retention and loyalty. 

4. Organize Product Presentation 

Clutter can be off-putting for shoppers. A simple solution is to streamline your displays and maximize floorspace by using retail dump bins. Their small footprint works in many areas of a retail store and gives you a space-saving alternative to display merchandise. By utilizing dump bins, you are also alleviating overcrowded and cluttered shelves to display products more cleanly.  

5. Lightweight and Versatile 

, Floor standing dump bins are lightweight and portable, making them very versatile. This is helpful when experimenting with locations that best catch a customer’s eye, or transitioning merchandise for seasons

6. Durable and Reusable 

Dump bins need to be durable to not only hold product, but to withstand the stress of customers reaching in to grab items. Acrylic, wire, and wooden dump bins accept that assignment in stride (and style). 

7. Easy to Rotate Inventory 

It’s easy to swap out the merchandise to keep your retail dump bins fresh. This is especially important if you rely on repeat business. Shoppers like to see new inventory each time they visit your store. In addition to new products, dump bin displays can hold sale/promotional items, seasonal trends, limited-time offers, overstock, and of course, candy and snacks.
