The graphic sleeve features Zespri’s bold visual identity that captures the burst of flavor consumers get when they bite into Zespri™ SunGold™ Kiwifruit.

AND IMPACTFUL DISPLAYS
DRIVE DEPARTMENT SALES

Zespri’s display will feature updated creative to reflect their new marketing campaign, and is designed to let the new 1-pound packaging be the hero.

To Drive Incremental Sales:

1) Build large, eye-catching displays. Retailer X featured SunGold™ Kiwifruit for a month which included a 4-week TPR + 3 display bins at front of store. This averaged a 200% $ sales lift over the month.

2) Multiple display locations increase sales. Try merchandising kiwi in and out of the produce section and see sales soar! Stacking cases by the check-out lanes catches unexpected shoppers on their way out!

3) Position kiwifruit near fruit with similar pricing strategies. According to a recent independent study, merchandising next to berries or grapes increases kiwifruit sales by 80%!

Bonus! In an independent study, shoppers reported that they rate their shopper experience higher when Zespri SunGold Kiwifruit is on display. Increase the fresh perception of your store by building prominent displays!
