COLD BEVERAGE

Cold beverages play a significant role in the overall café experience, with the average guest purchasing at least four drinks a week. Every guest has different wants and needs so it’s important to balance this category between indulgent offerings and healthier options. Find some great animated videos in the digital assets section on Retail Ranger. They’re really fun and will grab your guests’ attention. Play them on your café screens to promote the products and grow your sales!

DIGITAL ASSETS

Digital marketing is extremely important these days because people spend a significant amount of time using mobile and other screen devices. We’re introducing new materials for the Snacking and Cold Beverage categories, so you can drive additional sales by marketing to your guests using methods they prefer.

Animated Videos

Creating Excitement

LCD screen viewers prefer moving images to a static graphic. It’s impossible to see a drink being poured without getting thirsty, so these videos will create demand and grow your sales! Load these mp4 videos on your digital media player to engage and entice guests in your café. mp4 files are compatible with most media players and most systems allow you to play static images and mp4 files in a looped play mode. The process to import the video will be similar to importing jpeg files. As every media player is different, please check your system’s guide for additional information. Instagram Examples
