Gondola head

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

As a gondola end in will retail shelf front side which particularly refers Specials and Promotions is used. In this position, the customer perceives the goods on offer particularly clearly when walking through the aisles between the shelves. As a result, the sales of an item placed in the nacelle head is usually 4 to 12 times higher than normal shelf placement.

Most of the customers in a supermarket move counterclockwise on the edge of the sales area to the checkout. In order to increase the length of time customers spend in the middle of the sales area in order to generate more impulse purchases , the gondola heads in the middle aisles are often equipped with discount goods as an attraction.

The placement in the gondola head as a special placement is one of the measures of in-store sales promotion .
