🎄 Unlock Extra Christmas Sales While Customers Queue: How the EZI-Q® 914mm Kits Turn Waiting Time Into Buying Time

The Christmas season is the busiest and most profitable time of year for retailers — but it also brings longer queues and slower checkout flow. Instead of letting that waiting time slip by unused, smart retailers are transforming their queue space into a high-conversion impulse sales zone using the EZI-Q® 914mm Queue Merchandising Kits.

These modular, professionally engineered systems let you turn linear queue space into a powerful merchandising opportunity — boosting impulse sales, increasing basket size, and improving overall customer experience. And during the peak Christmas shopping rush, this impact is amplified even further.


What Makes the EZI-Q® System So Effective for Christmas Retail?

The EZI-Q® 914mm queue merchandising system has been purpose-built to convert traditionally “dead” floor space into highly profitable display real estate. With festive shoppers eager to grab last-minute gifts, stocking fillers, and small add-ons, the EZI-Q® system helps retailers capture valuable impulse sales at the exact moment shoppers are ready to buy.

Key Advantages:

  • Customers naturally browse while they queue — perfect for low-consideration items.
  • Slower queue movement increases exposure time, boosting product visibility.
  • Clean, modular design makes it easy to create visually strong Christmas-themed displays.
  • Increases perceived value and reduces perceived wait time, improving customer satisfaction.

How to Use EZI-Q® to Maximise Christmas Impulse Sales

1. Create a Festive, Eye-Catching Queue Display

Dress your EZI-Q® bays with simple Christmas enhancements to draw customer attention:

  • Garlands or small festive décor
  • Bold, seasonal signage such as “Perfect Stocking Fillers” or “Last-Minute Gifts”
  • Warm lighting to highlight products

If you want to elevate your display even further, SI Retail offers optional accessories such as:

These accessories complement your EZI-Q® kits — but the core sales driver is the EZI-Q® merchandising bay itself.


2. Fill Bays With High-Conversion, Christmas-Friendly Products

Christmas queues create the perfect opportunity to showcase items shoppers didn’t realise they needed. Top performers include:

  • Stocking stuffers
  • Small toys and gadgets
  • Travel-sized beauty products
  • Phone accessories
  • Festive chocolates and treats
  • Gift wrap, tape, ribbons, and tags
  • Compact giftware items

The EZI-Q® kit’s configurable layout (shelves, baskets, pegboard options) allows for fast replenishment and easy merchandising throughout the busy season.


3. Position Multiple EZI-Q® Kits In a Row To Increase Exposure

The longer the customer waits, the longer they browse. Strategically positioning multiple EZI-Q® bays to form your queue:

  • Drives repeated product exposure
  • Increases impulse grab rates
  • Keeps the queue moving in a controlled, guided way
  • Enhances customer experience and reduces perceived waiting time

This customer flow benefit is especially powerful during Christmas weeks when queue lengths peak.


4. Rotate and Refresh Your Display to Maintain Impact

Christmas retail moves quickly — and so should your merchandising. With EZI-Q® systems, you can easily:

  • Swap shelf items for basket items
  • Feature different promotional products each week
  • Showcase new Christmas lines as they arrive
  • Adjust signage to reflect weekly specials or gift themes

Accessories like baskets, shelves, and signage holders make these updates fast and retailer-friendly.


5. Use Clear Signage to Trigger Fast, Impulse Decisions

Signage is incredibly powerful in a queue environment. A well-placed sign holder can instantly drive impulse buying behaviour.
Popular holiday sign prompts include:

  • “Perfect Stocking Filler”
  • “Great Gift Under $10”
  • “Top Pick This Christmas”
  • “Add Me to Your Basket!”

Pairing strong messaging with the EZI-Q® bay ensures customers understand value instantly.

  • It encourages impulse purchases during periods of high demand.
