The problem is there are so many price points out there today. At one time, every pack of cigarettes cost the same. Then generics came on the market, but they all retailed the same. Now there is no such thing as tier 1, 2 and 3 cigarettes that all have the same cost. It\u2019s difficult for anyone to know the price of cigarettes today.<\/p>\n<h6><strong><span style=\"color: #289dcc;\">KEEP SKUs LOW<\/span><\/strong><\/h6>\n<p>Therefore, a basic practice of good tobacco merchandising is keeping SKUs low. \u00a0Of course, if you have a customer that wants Brand X, get Brand X for them. However, due to the limited space in the typical convenience store, many locations don\u2019t have room to showcase tobacco fixtures from every brand. That problem is growing with the popularity of electronic cigarettes and vapor products. The toughest part of the electronic cigarette is deciding on which ones to carry. If you carried every e-cigarette and vape that has been presented you wouldn\u2019t have room for anything else in the store! When it comes to e-cigs and vapes a store only has room for the top sellers. Can a store handle 10 varieties of electronic cigarettes? Probably not. That\u2019s too much to ask of a retailer. I suspect the answer is closer to three or four.<\/p>\n<h6><span style=\"color: #289dcc;\"><strong>CHOOSING THE RIGHT DISPLAY<\/strong><\/span><\/h6>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.TheCstoreEstore.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" size-full wp-image-81 alignleft\" src=\"http:\/\/www.tobaccofixtures-cigarettedisplays.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/custom_metal_frame_tobacco_fixtures-274.jpg\" alt=\"custom_metal_frame_tobacco_fixtures-274\" width=\"200\" height=\"200\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.tobaccofixtures-cigarettedisplays.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/custom_metal_frame_tobacco_fixtures-274.jpg 200w, https:\/\/www.tobaccofixtures-cigarettedisplays.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/custom_metal_frame_tobacco_fixtures-274-150x150.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 200px) 100vw, 200px\" \/><\/a>In order to effectively market these products retailers must have tobacco fixtures and display merchandising that accommodate all of these offerings. \u00a0In this ever changing retail category flexibility is key. \u00a0Tobacco fixtures are not inexpensive so a retailer must look to get the most &#8220;bang for their buck&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #800080;\"><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.TheCstoreEstore.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">TheCstoreEstore.com<\/a><\/strong><\/span> has the largest selection of tobacco fixtures and cigarette displays available, including Overhead Racks and Under Counter Cigarette Pushers. \u00a0We also offer incredibly flexible systems that allows merchandising of all tobacco categories, including e-cigarettes and vapes, within a single fixture. \u00a0Visit <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.TheCstoreEstore.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">TheCstoreEstore.com<\/a><\/strong> to view all product offerings or call us\u00a0to discuss tobacco merchandising solutions for your store. \u00a0We are waiting to serve you!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h6><\/h6>\n<h6><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.TheCstoreEstore.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">TheCstoreEstore.com<\/a><\/strong><\/h6>\n<h6><strong>866.630.2100<\/strong><\/h6>\n<h6><strong>sales@cademanenterprises.com<\/strong><\/h6>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Trying to drive the business with 150 different packages just doesn\u2019t work in today\u2019s environment.
