Unique Round Produce & Mobile Banana Merchandising Units: Product Review

For specialty market owners, independent grocers, or fresh produce departments it's always a challenge to find new and creative ways to merchandise fresh commodities.   Here's one quick idea:
I noticed something unique in an email update from Cayuga Displays yesterday.  Here's my disclaimer: NOTE: I am not offering an official endorsement of this product as I haven't worked with this fixture nor would I recommend implementing the display's product setting technique as exactly shown in the photos, however these units caught my attention. They would be great in the department, or easy solutions for mobile cross-merchandising displays in other department outside of fresh produce.  I like the color and shape of the unit.  The item actually has a built in inclined capability in the back to gain additional product view.  I enjoy seeing fixture manufacturers coming up with new looks and interesting containers.  These mobile bins offer a nice big massive space to show off a special item and work with or without ice.  I'd like to see fresh in-store pressed orange juice in one of these guys!

Here's a few more photos below.

I also like this new take on the overhead  banana racks.  I've seen a number of companies heading in this direction, but really like the idea of this mobile opportunity. Banana's being highly impulse items have great opportunity for spontaneous buys if you can get the right amount in a good location where customers can see them.    It may be helpful to pull the display to a refilling area at the beginning of the day, relocated to a prime selling area, then return at night once the unit has sold down. This unit might also have some room for a secondary item in the bin below, however I wouldn't put anything highly perishable.  Since bananas offer significant tonnage sales, here's one more unique way to get them in front of prospective buyers.  

Just a few thoughts on some creative new ideas.
