Ice merchandisers are machines that dispense bagged ice directly to customers. There are various models available, from single-door units that hold a handful of bags to large machines that provide ice in bulk. They can also be placed inside or outside, depending on your preference and how much space is available. Here’s a rundown of these appliances' benefits for your business. 

Why You Should Get an Ice Merchandiser for Your Store

1. Attract New Visitors

Ice merchandisers can be placed outside in plain view of potential customers, which essentially provides free advertising for your bagged ice and your store as a whole. There may even be some in your community who never paid attention to your business before but visit because they need ice for a party. They'll then make a note of your shop for the next time they need ice or anything else you sell. 

2. Make Extra Sales

There’s a good chance that some people purchasing ice also need other items like beverages or snacks. Since those individuals are already at your store picking up ice, it’s convenient for them to head inside and buy everything else needed. Additionally, some ice machines can be placed inside, so customers have to walk through and see all your other products. This exposure can increase your immediate sales and provide customers with a convenient experience so they’re likely to return. 

3. Enjoy Low-Maintenance Sales

Ice merchandisers are simple for customers to operate, so store clerks rarely have to offer any assistance to those purchasing bagged ice. Additionally, the ice company generally manages the machine's maintenance and inventory, so your team doesn’t have to spend extra time on these tasks.
