Locate the biscuit fixture towards the front of store, close to high footfall areas, and a secondary site near coffee machines.

Draw shoppers to the biscuit fixture.

Merchandise key brands in clear brand blocks to create standout, and use branded POS to highlight and attract shoppers to the fixture. Place similar product types together so shoppers can easily find what they want.

Make prices easy to see. Clearly display prices on fixture. Shoppers trust price-marked packs;

use these to demonstrate value for money and fair pricing.
