The Challenge of Rebranding: How Vertical Vendors Offer a Sustainable and Cost-Effective Solution

Let's face it, keeping things fresh in retail is a constant battle. Brands and retailers are always looking for that edge – a new campaign, a seasonal push, a product launch... it all adds up to a lot of change. 


But here's the rub: all that "newness" often comes at a cost, both to the wallet and the planet. 


The way we've traditionally handled rebranding is often incredibly wasteful.


The Problem: Waste and Cost of Traditional Rebranding

Think about how it usually goes: A brand wants to shout about their latest offer, so what happens? 


Shops get swamped with cardboard displays. 


They look great for a week or two, then they're in the bin (if they ever reach the shop floor at all


This creates mountains of waste, filling up landfills and generally being bad news for the environment. And don't forget the resources that go into making them in the first place.


Then there's the money side of things. Designing, printing, and making all those displays costs a fortune. 


Add to that the staff time to assemble and set them up in store. And then the cost of getting rid of them! It's a cycle that hits businesses hard.


The Solution: Vertical Vendors' Sustainable and Cost-Effective Rebranding

Vertical Vendors offers a smarter way. Our display systems are designed to be used again and again. They’re all about cutting waste and saving money.

Here's how VV tackles the problem:


  • Reduced Waste: Our units are built from tough sheet metal, made to last. This massively reduces the need for all those throwaway cardboard displays. 


  • Easy Rebranding: VV units can be quickly and easily updated with things like replaceable card inserts, magnetic graphics, or channels for slide-in graphics. This means you can switch up your look without binning the whole display. 


  • Cost Savings: By not having to constantly produce and chuck out displays, brands and retailers save a lot on manufacturing, labour, and disposal costs.

Additional Benefits:


  • Enhanced Brand Image: VV units look professional and polished, giving a consistently great look that boosts your brand and makes a bigger impact in store. 


  • Increased Flexibility: VV displays let you adapt to different marketing campaigns and promotions without the hassle and expense of replacing everything. 


Real-World Impact:


It's not just talk, either. Brands using Vertical Vendor displays have seen a real difference. One brand saw a 300% jump in impulse sales after switching to our units. That's the kind of result that makes a difference to the bottom line. 


The old way of rebranding in retail is wasteful and expensive. 


There's a better solution.
