Bija Tea Features Upscale And Stylish Counter Display
Flora wanted a stylish and upscale counter display for its Bija teas as a companion to its floor stand. Flora wanted to capitalize on multiple placements within the same store, and needed a display with a small footprint that could hold lots of product. Another goal was to create excitement in the natural foods channel and open new retail doors for Bija Teas.
This display is going to be in the field for more than three years so the utilization of wire and steel was crucial for longevity. A four-color header draws attention. A rustic powder coat finish gives the display a natural, rustic look.
This display was created by Lingo Manufacturing Co., a p.o.p. display firm based in Florence, KY.
