Revolutionising Retail: Vertical Vendors' New Mini Countertop Display Unveiled!

At Vertical Vendors, we're constantly pushing the boundaries of innovative merchandising, and our latest prototype is no exception. We're incredibly excited to give you a sneak peek at the new Trigon Mini Countertop unit – a compact powerhouse designed to transform how high-value, smaller items are displayed in retail environments.


Innovation in a Smaller Footprint


This prototype demonstrates our commitment to design and technology, showing just how versatile our Vertical Vendor displays can be. While our larger units are renowned for boosting impulse sales by an impressive 650%+, the Trigon Mini is specifically crafted to maximise impact in smaller, high-traffic areas like checkouts or dedicated promotional zones.



Imagine this: a sleek, eye-catching unit on your counter, holding 45 mini bottles, each selling for £2. That’s a potential £90 on one compact display! This isn't just about showcasing products; it's about optimising every inch of retail space and driving significant sales uplift for those valuable items.


Key Benefits for Brands and Retailers


This new mini unit, like all Vertical Vendors displays, brings a host of advantages to the table:


●     Exceptional Brand Impact: With branding at perfect eye level, your products will truly stand out. Our unique design also allows for easy rebranding with changeable magnetic displays, ensuring your campaigns are always fresh and on-point without needing new units. This is fantastic for seasonal pushes or new product launches.


●     Driving Impulse Sales: Keeping high-value items directly in the customer's line of sight, especially near the cashier, capitalises on those crucial impulse buying decisions.


●     Sustainable Solutions: True to our core values, this unit continues our legacy of sustainable merchandising. Our displays are built from steel – the most recycled material globally. They're designed for longevity, lasting over 5 years on average. This dramatically reduces reliance on single-use cardboard displays and helps clients meet their sustainability targets and lower their carbon footprint.


●     Robust and Reliable: All our units, including this prototype, are manufactured in our UK facility near Leicester. They're built to ISO 9001 standards and come with a 12-month warranty , with many still going strong after 5 years!


●     Ease of Use for Staff: Like all our units, the Trigon Mini will be incredibly easy for store teams to load and keep tidy , reducing back strain and ensuring your display always looks pristine.


Beyond Mini Bottles: More Perfect Fits for the Trigon Mini


The versatility of the Trigon Mini Countertop unit extends far beyond just miniature beverages.


Its design is ideal for a variety of high-value, small items with consistent packaging, perfect for capturing those vital impulse purchases:


●     Miniature Spirits/Liqueurs: Small bottles of gin, whisky, vodka, or popular liqueurs, often sold as tasters or for travel.


●     Energy Shots/Wellness Shots: These typically come in slim, consistent bottle or can sizes and are perfect for a quick, on-the-go boost.


●     Premium Confectionery: Individually wrapped, higher-end chocolates, gourmet sweets, or speciality mints that come in small, uniform boxes or tins.


●     Travel-Size Skincare/Cosmetics: Mini moisturisers, serums, high-end lip balms, or single-use sheet masks from premium beauty brands, often with consistent packaging and high-profit margins.


●     Nail Polishes: Especially from popular or seasonal collections, presented in small, uniform bottles.


●     Vape Liquids/Pods: For retailers selling vaping products, small, consistently sized bottles of e-liquid or replacement pods could be an ideal fit.


●     Collectible Items/Blind Boxes: Small, consistently packaged toys, trading cards, or figures that appeal to collectors, often encouraging multiple purchases.


●     Batteries (Speciality): Such as small packs of watch batteries, hearing aid batteries, or specific tech batteries that are high-value for their size.


●     Oral Hygiene Products: Premium mini toothpastes, breath sprays, or single-use floss picks/interdental brushes from higher-end dental brands.


●     Single-Serve Gourmet Coffee Pods/Tea Bags: For specialist coffee or tea shops, showcasing a premium, single serving of a unique blend.


Looking to the Future


This Trigon Mini Countertop prototype is a testament to our ongoing development and the exciting technological advancements we have in our incubator. We're exploring features like hidden stock sensors for low-stock alerts and navigation tracking, all aimed at providing even more value and efficiency for our clients.


At Vertical Vendors, we're dedicated to changing the merchandising industry, one innovative display at a time. This mini unit is just another step in our journey to help brands and retailers drive sales, enhance their brand presence, and achieve their sustainability goals.
