Case Study: Coca Cola Beverage Display Rack

Coca Cola‘s strategy inside a retail store in Thailand can be summed up in one word: simple. The company used a beverage display rack to showcase its line of drink brands.

The metal rack comes in signature red hue with its brand name printed on the beams.  We found this in the drink and beverage area of the store with other drink brands being sold in bulk. Although it is not as glamorous or as elaborate as other retail displays we have featured before, we can say that it served its purpose very well. But how effective is it?

Is The Beverage Display Rack Effective?

• No Frills Advertising: Straightforward approach highlights the products without distracting the audience with flashy designs. However, it did not have any distinctive feature we can consider remarkable.
• Functional: The durability of the display rack ensures the safety of the products. In addition, the simplicity of the design allows merchandisers to customize it according to their needs. For instance, adding promotional shelf talkers or wobblers to show prices or announce sale and adding decorations to match the occasion such as Valentine’s Day, New Year, Christmas, and Halloween.
• Space Saving: Coca Cola’s beverage display rack is just the right size and is not bulky. It’s easy to transport and can be displayed outside the store.

The only downside we see with this type of display is that it might not command attention if placed side by side with competitors’ more bespoke display. Although serviceable, the style and design are a bit bland compared to their previous display units. This POS display below is simple, yet it looks more appealing than the one we saw in Thailand.

This one is more elaborate complete with retail display standee and LED lightbox display:
