On Visi-slides: Old slides turned yellow and became brittle after a short period of time. Also, they did not slide well. The new slides by Display Technologies show product labels better, provides a cleaner look, and keeps product fronted over 95% of the time. This saves our store time, since we do not need to pull product forward.
On Visi-floor: Products that were on flat shelves now stay fronted and organized. I like the flexibility of the system being able to fit all products; even multi-packs. Visi-floor provides a much better sales appeal.
On Labor Savings: Visi-slides and visi-floor eliminates over 95% of all pull-ups and fronting. All I do now is restock shelves, which is easier because the products are organized and already forward.

On Visi-slides: "Display Technologies slides look and work better than the one we were currently using."
On Visi-Floor: "Test store looks great every time I visit. I can't say that about my other stores. I like the way we're able to change visi-floor width. For example: single beer has different sizes and widths, and visi-floor makes the door look great, adjust to all sizes, and can be changed very easily. In the beer door, now that it is organized to put 6-packs, 12-packs, etc., in different rows, our store personnel can't just fill the door with anything to fill an out-of-stock. They have to put in the right size package in the correct row."
"In the frozen section, visi-floor is the best system I've ever seen, giving those products great sales appeal. Not only do the coolers look great, but little time is spent in pull-ups, facing, etc."
Doug Shockley, 7-Eleven Field Consultant, Dallas, TX

"The visi-floor system makes our coolers look great, almost 100% of the time. It decreases the labor of having to pull up/face product. The extended visi-slides increase pack-out, and decrease stocking. I'm surprised to see the major improvement in beer, sandwich cooler, and the meat/cheese door. I recommend visi-floor and visi-slides 100%."

"The new visi-slides from Display Technologies have raised the bar in the glide rack merchandising industry. These merchandisers give retailers the flexibility to merchandise multiple package sizes in the same space that they have been limited with in prior years through inter-changeable product dividers. The innovation developed in these fixtures allow product to slide forward to face itself when product is removed, insuring your sets always look fresh and full. This equipment is very easy to install and maintain, a must have in your beverage doors."

"Stores are very pleased with the glides, as they continually front the product. Arrowhead 1-gallon is a big package for us, and it helps stores keep that product in the front of the door."
Brian Moran, Circle K Business Manager, Marketing/Beverage Category

"I am sure glad we have it. It makes such a difference in the overall look of the cold-box. The dairy section was always an issue, we were constantly having to get on the in-store crew to keep it faced up! Actually, they (the in-store personnel) love it. We have set about 75 of our stores so far with the flooring, and when I go into a store that doesn't have it yet they ask me, "Hey, when are we getting that dairy facing shelf?" So, the word has spread amongst our stores. That right there says a lot about your product. The system is easy to install and the benefits are recognized immediately. We plan on finishing all our stores by the end of the year. (A total of 135 stores)."
