Kraft reinventing the cheese aisle

November 5, 2008

SANTA ANA, Calif. — Display Boys, a full-service, premium retail display specialist, is partnering with Kraft Foods to reinvent the cheese aisle. The initiative aims to enhance the "shopability" of the cheese aisle and leverage the strength of Kraft's snacking cheese portfolio with the rollout of branded Snacking Cheese Centers in over 1,000 grocery store locations nationwide.

Kraft Foods engaged Display Boys in February 2008 to reinvent the snacking section of its retail cheese aisles in recognition of the broader snacking category growing to over $90 billion. Display Boys developed the new Kraft Snacking Cheese Center, a branded structure that allows for easy navigation; builds a relationship between the consumer and the brand, as well as between the brand and the retailer; and creates a "one-glance" interaction. The rollout began in October 2008 and is expected to be complete in over 1,000 stores by the end of the year.

"In general, with 30 percent of shoppers around the world waiting until they're actually inside the store to decide which brand they'll buy, it is critical to be forward-thinking and consider designs that fill the needs of the consumer, brand and retailer simultaneously," said John Riley, co-founder and vice president of Display Boys.

Research shows consumers who buy cheese have significantly longer shopping trip times versus non-cheese buying shoppers (40 minutes versus 24 minutes). Display Boys' strategy in the aisle reinvention initiative was to design a visual structure that would directly engage consumers and potentially convert in-store traffic into actual shoppers.
