Eschew packaging to enhance revenues with Rosseto food bins and dispensers highlighting your wares

In 2019, zero-waste is trending, big time. That means that stores are doing away with traditional packaging and other wasteful byproducts, in favor of allowing their customers to dispense desired amounts of given products into reusable containers. But how can this trend be harnessed to maximize your revenues?

 

We’ve put together a post with everything you need to know about increasing profits from zero-waste store sales, right here.

Do away with packaging and their associated costs

By eliminating traditional packaging, you are essentially eliminating costs associated with the products. However, that doesn’t mean you have to reduce your prices. Au contraire. Most customers don’t think about packaging as an added cost, so you can offer bulk purchase prices to give them a discount, or keep prices for standard amounts the same, and watch your profits soar.

Store in bulk bins

Bulk bins and scoops enable customers to dole out the quantity of any given product they desire. And, as people often shop with their eyes, this can lead their shopping bags to bulge, and your revenues to brim.

Allow customers to self-dispense

Not all customers want to be tantalized by the seemingly “bottomless” bulk bin. This is where lining your walls with dry food and beverage dispensers can be a true money maker. Customers can self-dispense to their hearts’ content, feeling that the measured “cranks” of the food dispenser are providing them with the correct portions.

Provide containers and upsell

While it’s nice to allow customers to bring their own containers (and feel that they are saving by not paying for packaging of any kind), you can create unique upsell opportunities by selling reusable containers. This is ideal for customers new to the zero-waste movement, as well as for customers eager to buy who may have forgotten their containers at home. You can mark these containers up, or sell them in batches at a discounted rate. Either way, when in need, customers will be willing to spend more and “invest” in their zero-waste future.
