The Ripple Countertop Display Design Process
Countertop displays are compact, versatile, and incredibly powerful when it comes to influencing last-minute purchases. Whether your aim is to cross-sell, up-sell, or simply boost product visibility, Ripple’s countertop display solutions are designed to do more than just sit pretty — they sell.
First, we work to understand your specific goals: Are you launching a new item? Driving impulse buys? Enhancing the checkout experience? We shape the project around your desired outcome.
Your goal is to increase sales. Tactics could include increasing brand awareness, up-selling or cross-selling, or encouraging impulse purchases. Countertop displays can help you achieve all of this.
Countertop displays are small — but mighty. We identify high-footfall areas and evaluate sightlines, shelf height, and customer journey touchpoints to ensure optimal placement.
Strategically placing a countertop display in areas with high footfall will make a product highly visible to consumers... in a queuing area or other Point of Purchase areas.
We explore design ideas and recommend formats that balance your brand message with practicality. Whether you need something simple or high-tech, we guide you toward the right solution.
You’ll benefit from:
- Tiered Displays – Great for showcasing multiple product types in a compact footprint
- Trays & Holders – Clean, effective solutions for small items or trial samples
- Interactive or Rotating Displays – To boost dwell time and encourage hands-on engagement
Countertop displays are primarily seen to house smaller, impulse-purchase items... Their versatility can allow for flexible placement possibilities, working cohesively with different retail displays.
We ensure the design reflects your brand identity — in colour, tone, layout, and finish. Whether minimal and modern or bold and playful, your display will speak in your brand’s voice.
Tailored solutions are worthwhile if a brand aims to stand out in the retail environment. Having unique displays allows for consideration of brand identity, product characteristics and a customer’s shopping experience.
Every product has its needs — we choose materials that match. We consider durability, finish, budget, and sustainability, then bring your display to life with engineered precision.
Our approach involves a detailed understanding of your goals, considering factors like size, shape, colour, branding, placement, and material selection.
With in-house manufacturing capabilities, we manage every step — from prototypes to production runs — ensuring tight quality control and efficient lead times.
At Ripple, our track record of over 40 years in crafting exceptional retail experiences means you’re in safe hands.
Once built, we coordinate delivery or install depending on your needs. Whether it’s one site or many, we ensure your countertop display performs from day one — and we stay on hand to support any fine-tuning.
From unique, one-off displays to large-scale retail rollouts, we excel in tailoring solutions to meet your countertop display needs.
Need help adapting a display next season? Planning another site? We’ll be there. Because our countertop display designers are passionate about long-term partnerships.
