The bottle glorifier display: a definition
The bottle glorifier display, or a “sommelier display", is an exceptional type of display. It brings together a set on a presentation plinth or pedestal. You can find them on the bar, on a shelf behind the bar or in the windows of liquor specialty stores
Enhancing the visual appeal of your products, glorifiers attract the eyes and ensure your brand stands out from the crowd. They represent the perfect platform to set your products in scene with almost unlimited possibilities regarding shape and material, intended to theatrically bring out the product's qualities or features.
Inviting customers to a journey into new flavours or blends, bottle glorifiers can also valorise your range. By bringing flavours together in one place, they showcase the depth of the brand and entice the desire to taste them all.
Fuelling conversations between connoisseurs, these materials are long-lasting merchandising solutions that go further than an ephemeral promotional tool. Because of their premium finish, these attractive objects are generically appreciated by the hospitality industry. They are happy to display them as a decorative or inspiring element for their establishments, and thus, promoting your brand visibility for many years.
Go one step further and add service
Depending on its setup, the bottle glorifier can provide additional services:
A bottle glorifier for a range can take a proactive role in shaping choice. Line communications can prevent "analysis paralysis" — the feeling a buyer gets when the options are too overwhelming.
Any display offers an opportunity to communicate directly with buyers. By incorporating their unique story, brands send out a salesperson who can show every buyer at the same time how a product should be appreciated. What makes a liquor unique? What is its region of origin, or terroir? How do craft and ingredients relate to flavour? With educational content buyers will experience a higher level of knowledge, craftsmanship and service, and tend to remain loyal to a brand.
The display can incorporate a smart storage space for the educational content.
Its purpose is also to elevate the tasting experience.
Consider all scenarios and make it functional. Provide easy-to-hold handles to help transport. Waiters are welcomed with success at the table.
Sunken reliefs adjusted to each bottle secure their position and avoid a display being “pirated".
Accommodate tasting glasses on a drawer or shelf, as we have done on the Aberlour display.
Materials
Having a rich brand has become crucial for distillers and brewers to differentiate themselves from competitors. The bottle glorifier should reflect the premium character of the brand. Therefore, the materials used to build display are crucial. Hence, they are made of noble and quality materials to capture the mood and image of the individual drinks being presented.
- Solid wood, in light or dark essences depending on the brand’s universe
- Leather
- Metal, brass, copper, or stainless steel, unfinished or brushed
- Colorfull acrylics to bring a shiny touch and recall the lacquered aspects
- Transparent acrylics to recall the appearance of glass
Uplifting the tasting experience
With the same purpose of providing buyers with a differentiating experience, we have developed these countertop displays. Offering tastings in specialty liquor stores, they represent a vibrant brand theatre, inviting buyers to immerse in its world. They include images and text within the design so that customers can learn more about the brand and each products, craftmanship, ingredients, and terroir.
These comprehensive materials allow curious shoppers to appreciate the different flavours in the absence of the master. Placed on a counter, a table, or a top shelf, they are invaluable sales aids for merchants. They too can profit form the information display as they deepen their sales pitch and guide conversations with prospects.
