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.

What is it about a comforting hug from a Teddy bear? French researchers found that the emotional bond one shares with their own teddy bear elicits a strong perception of comfort. For their study, they looked at participants’ experience with their own Teddy bears vs strange bears’ physical and sensory characteristics to determine if they make a bear more comforting. Unsurprisingly, participants preferred their own bears over a “stranger bear.” The results of their 2022 study were independent of participants’ age, meaning plushies can provide comfort at all stages of life.
