Photos — Banana merchandising ideas

They say a photo's worth a thousand words. We still believe strongly in words, but we're also big fans of photos, particularly when it comes to merchandising inspiration.

There's so much to be gleaned from examining a retail display photo: assortment in a given category, merchandising techniques and styles, fixtures, placement in relation to other items, cross-merchandising and more.

In our travels to cover industry tradeshows (in previous years), we've taken quite a few photos of the produce departments of stores in the numerous areas we've visited. The photos in the these slideshows were gathered in 2018 and 2019. 

Feel free to send us your own photos for inclusion in our next set of videos of banana displays! Just shoot them over via email to anickle@farmjournal.com.

Check out more resources about banana merchandising at the following links, and make sure to check out lots more merchandising content (including from many industry experts!) in this section of our site.
