Using Plastic Fish Bowls in Your Convenience Store Display

Plastic fish bowls are classic display tools in all retail settings, and they’re especially useful in convenience stores.

Like their glass counterparts, plastic fish bowl containers are versatile and ideal for a variety of purposes; however, they’re more durable when it comes to withstanding the fast-paced, high-traffic environment of a convenience store. They’re also available in an assortment of sizes, making them perfect for everything from gumballs to small children’s toys!

Use Plastic Fish Bowls to Create Countertop Displays

Each display in a convenience store is important in its own right; without them, there would be no merchandise for the customers!

However, countertop displays are perhaps one of the most crucial kinds of displays in convenience stores. Countertop displays use a small space to showcase a vast array of merchandise just as a customer is getting ready to check out.

As you’re thinking about how to use these kinds of fish bowls in your countertop displays, consider these ideas:

• Plastic fish bowls are great for candy displays. Fill your bowls with anything from Tootsie Rolls to Jawbreakers!
• You can use these fish bowls to display small children’s toys like bouncy balls.
• Fill your fish bowls with small convenience items like travel-sized manicure sets, sewing kits, or eyeglass repair kits.
• Use your fish bowls to display common convenience items like lighters or matchbooks.
• Fish bowls are perfect for creating a display of souvenir items like key chains with your state’s logo.

Pair Plastic Fish Bowls with Wire Display Racks

Just as they work well for countertop displays, plastic fish bowls are ideal for use on wire display racks. Because wire display racks are available in many sizes and shapes, you can create larger displays and position them anywhere in your convenience store.

For example, you might want to create a display of fish bowls filled with wrapped gumballs near a larger candy display, or you might want to showcase travel-sized hygiene products near a shelf filled with full-sized bottles of shampoos, soaps, and lotions.

Use Plastic Fish Bowls in the Deli

Many convenience stores sell more than just fuel, quick snacks, and last minute items like full- or travel-sized hygiene products customers might have forgotten to pack for their trips or pick up while they were doing their regular shopping. Some convenience stores include deli-style areas where customers – whether traveling through or local to the town – can stop for a meal.

If your convenience store offers a deli-style area, you can use plastic fish bowls:

• On your deli’s countertop or on each table in the deli to collect tips from customers.
• Near the coffee machine or on each table in the deli to hold packets of sugar, creamer, and sweetener.
• On each table in the deli to hold packets of condiments such as ketchup, mustard, and mayonnaise, as well as seasonings like sugar, salt, and pepper.

• On your deli’s countertop or on each individual table to offer customers after-dinner mints, toothpicks, or complimentary matchbooks.
