Placement Suggestions
Where Essential AF Tends to Work Well
Eye-Level Placement
The packaging was deliberately designed to be something women actually want on their shelf. Forest green and gold because it's beautiful, not because it's loud. It's not a gaudy, bright protein bag with flames on it. Eye-level in the women's health section tends to work well because the right customer notices it naturally, but you know your store layout better than we do.
Near Her Existing Supplements
Placing Essential AF near magnesium, probiotics, women's vitamins, or collagen products tends to put it in front of the right customer. The woman already shopping that section is often exactly who this product is for.
A Few Units Facing Forward
Where shelf space allows, a couple of units facing forward lets the packaging do its work. Women who this product is for tend to notice it when they can actually see it.
Women's Health Over Sports Nutrition
Essential AF isn't a sports supplement, so the sports or protein aisle typically isn't the right fit for the customer it's designed for. Women in perimenopause are usually shopping in women's health or vitamins, not sports nutrition.
Point-of-Sale Materials
If we've supplied any shelf strips or talkers, feel free to use them where it makes sense. They're designed to give customers a quick read on what the product is before they reach the counter, which can help warm up the conversation.
What Tends to Work
Tips from Other Stockists
Works well
- Eye level in the women's health section
- A few units facing forward
- Unobstructed, clean shelf space
- Using any POS material supplied
- Reordering before stock gets too low
- Staff having a quick briefing before it goes on shelf
- A casual mention to women already browsing nearby supplements
Tends to work less well
- Sports or protein aisle placement
- Bottom or top shelf where it's hard to see
- Next to meal replacement or weight loss products
- Running very low on stock before reordering
Optional Conversation Starters
Some stores have found that when a woman picks up the product, reads the label, and puts it back down, a brief check-in from a team member can make a real difference. A couple of lines that have worked well:
Completely optional, but worth having in your team's back pocket if the moment feels right.
