Endcaps, In-Line Shelving and Floor
Key Benefits• Front-end Super Endcaps, front-end inline endcaps and floor stacks
are ideal for generating impulse buying and increasing visibility of your product
• Our partners can supply their own signage and branding messages and utilize customized endcap headers
In a retail environment, free-standing merchandise racks anchored to the floor are called gondolas; endcaps occur at the both ends of a gondola facing heavy-traffic aisles in the store.
Front-end Super Endcaps are an extremely desirable location due to the large amount of floor-traffic passing by them in the front of the store. Our partners can purchase Front-end Super Endcaps for one month intervals
Floor Stacks are boxes of products stacked on top of each other to form a square or rectangle of merchandise in an aisle or other high traffic area.
• Increased visibility • Improved brand awareness • Controlled messages
Front-end Inline Endcaps appear on the interior side of the Front-end section (the front-end section faces the checkouts) and offer prime display space at the front of the store. Our partners can purchase Front-end Inline Endcaps for one month intervals.
POS
Front End Inline Endcaps
In-Line EndcapsThe entire Micro Center store is merchandised by product category. Many categories are candidates for “In-line” endcaps – that is, endcap merchandising inside the aisle where the category is positioned. Select vendor partners with several SKUs in a category can invest to place their products in preferred positions. This branded grouping and positioning right at the point of purchase can generate significant ROI.
Limitations apply. See your Merchandise Manager for opportunities
