Turning every square foot of your store into a selling opportunity.
Harbor’s merchandising solutions turn every square foot of your store into a selling opportunity. Our regional Store Solutions teams across the West Coast evaluate each location individually, from entrances and register placement to traffic flow and customer demographics. They then build a custom reset, rack program, or retag (with or without SRPs) around it. Our schematics draw on regional and national IRI and Nielsen data and are updated twice a year, so your shelves stay stocked with the top sellers in the West. Our Go With It programs add a clean, cohesive, chain-quality look across seven categories (delight, fresh, fuel, satisfy, hydrate, indulge, and nourish), making it faster and easier for shoppers to decide and for your basket to grow. It’s all done by teams equipped with the latest technology, so your store sees minimal disruption.
2 for the Road gives retailers four monthly promotions on top-selling products through Harbor’s multiple-buy program. Each month you get a complete set of POS materials to promote in store, plus a sell pack of every promoted item shipped ahead of the promotional month, so you’re ready on day one. Discounted multi-buys drive extra volume through your register and higher gross profit dollars to help your bottom line.
Go With It gives independent stores a clean, cohesive look that rivals a chain, with eye-catching merchandising solutions that are easy to implement. Built for the quick, impulse-driven way convenience shoppers buy, the programs speed up decisions and drive incremental sales. Choose from seven categories to build the mix that works best for your store, with regularly updated schematics to keep your racks and coolers stocked with top sellers in the West.
The Clean Store Program helps you show customers they’re walking into a clean, well-kept environment. Appearance and cleanliness shape whether a shopper comes back, and 14% of customers say they stop visiting a store that doesn’t meet their standards. Door clings and other available products help you build customer confidence, feel safer, and support sales.
Harbor’s Equipment Programs give you end-to-end service, from selecting equipment to getting it into your store. With more than 175 equipment options, we have something for just about any need. We’re backed by partnerships with 18 equipment suppliers and 50 manufacturers, so you get quality and innovation you can count on. Ask your sales representative for our Equipment Guide to see the full range.
