Beyond the Beverage Aisle: How Vertical Vendors Elevate Any Product In-Store

When you think of Vertical Vendors, it's easy to picture a gleaming display of cold drinks, perfectly presented and always in reach. And you'd be right – our units have transformed how global brands merchandise beverages, driving impressive sales uplifts and bringing sustainability to the forefront of retail. But what if we told you our innovative spring-loaded displays aren't just for quenching thirst?


At Vertical Vendors, we're passionate about helping brands break the mould and captivate customers, regardless of the product. While our roots might be firmly in the world of canned and bottled drinks, our award-winning, patented design is far more versatile than you might imagine.


More Than Just Drinks: Showcasing Your Product

We understand that every brand has unique needs, and that's why we've expanded our offering beyond standard units to include bespoke solutions. Whether you're a confectionery giant, a leading beauty brand, or even a publisher, our team can design and manufacture a Vertical Vendor display that perfectly showcases your products and maximises impulse purchases.

Imagine the rich, inviting display of premium chocolates, always at the front and ready for a customer to grab.

We've even created successful units for items as diverse as cigars and, yes, even shampoo!

The beauty of our system lies in its ability to adapt, ensuring your product, no matter its shape or size, benefits from the same sales-driving presentation as a 24-pack of your favourite soft drink.


Why a Bespoke Vertical Vendor? It's All About Value.

You might be thinking, "A bespoke metal display? What's the return on investment?" And that's a fair question. While there's an initial manufacturing cost involved for a custom unit, the long-term benefits for high-value products are substantial.


Firstly, our units are built to last – designed for 1 million cycles and often performing for over 5 years in-store. This isn't a single-use cardboard display; it's a durable, permanent retail fixture. Consider the typical lifespan of 65 cardboard FSDUs replaced over time versus one robust Vertical Vendor unit. That's a huge saving on production, delivery charges, and waste.


Secondly, think about the impact on your brand image. Our units ensure your product always looks sharp and pristine, consistently on-brand, and easy for customers to shop. They reduce clutter and improve staff efficiency as they're simple to load and refill, and they significantly reduce the need for constant merchandising. This all contributes to a superior in-store experience that translates into increased impulse sales – some brands have seen an average uplift of 35%!


Finally, our commitment to sustainability is unwavering. Our steel units are forever recyclable, and the card inserts are 100% recyclable, meaning nothing goes to landfill. We've built a circular design thinking process to ensure re-use and recyclability are at the core of what we do, and we're a certified carbon-measured business. Partnering with us helps you meet your sustainability targets while boosting sales.


Ready to See Your Product Shine?

Don't let traditional merchandising limit your product's potential. If you're a brand looking for an innovative, sustainable, and proven way to increase your in-store presence and drive sales, a bespoke Vertical Vendor could be the answer.
