This is good for CPG brands because that means your product has the opportunity to choose! Below are some of the clever ways stores place goods to maximize profit.

Cross Merchandising

Cross merchandising is the practice of placing complimentary goods together to grow basket size and drive impulse purchases. This product placement strategy is successful because often when consumers purchase something, they tend to think what else could go well with it.

Popular examples include wine and cheese, pasta and pasta sauce, and solo cups and ping pong balls.
