Boost Your Sales with Coolio & Freshboard: The Power of Customized Refrigerated Displays at the Point of Sale

In today’s hypercompetitive retail environment, visibility and differentiation are no longer optional—they are decisive. While brands invest heavily in digital advertising and social media, the final purchasing decision still happens, in most cases, at the point of sale. According to Nielsen (2019), over 70% of buying decisions are made inside the store. This makes the physical shelf not just a display space, but a powerful sales accelerator.

One of the most disruptive tools in this point of sale space is the Coolio Display. Far from being just a container that keeps beverages or perishable products cold, these units become brand ambassadors, storytelling platforms, and silent salespeople that directly influence consumer choice.

Why 3 Months Can Change Everything

Unlike large advertising campaigns that require months to generate measurable returns, customized refrigerators can produce results in just a few weeks. Case studies from brands using Coolio displays reveal a consistent pattern: sales growth begins in the first month and continues to scale over a three-month trial period.

For instance, a Latin American craft beer company piloted 50 customized refrigerators across strategic convenience stores. Within the first month, sales increased by 18%, and by the end of the third month, the growth reached 34% compared to baseline performance. The visibility, exclusivity, and personalized branding transformed the refrigerators into magnets for impulse purchases (McKinsey & Company, 2020).

The Three-Month Proof

The “three-month test” has become a benchmark for retailers to measure the real ROI of their in-store investments. Unlike traditional shelving, where differentiation is minimal, customized refrigerators allow brands to stand out instantly. They control lighting, exterior branding, interior organization, and even messaging on digital screens.

A dairy brand in Mexico applied this model with 100 refrigerators tailored to their new line of premium yogurts. During the three-month trial, sales doubled compared to similar products in generic refrigeration units. The key factor was not only temperature control but also the perception of quality: consumers associated the exclusive, branded unit with higher value and freshness (Deloitte, 2021).

Beyond Refrigeration: Brand Immersion

The effectiveness of customized refrigerators goes beyond numbers. They create an immersive micro-environment for the consumer. The logo, colors, and messages are present in a way that no traditional shelf can replicate. In other words, the consumer doesn’t just pick up a cold product; they engage with a brand universe.

Moreover, customized refrigerators offer operational benefits. They improve stock rotation, reduce losses from mishandling, and optimize the visibility of new products. For retailers, this means better efficiency. For brands, it means better storytelling.

Why Investors and Executives Should Pay Attention

In a world where every marketing dollar is scrutinized, executives need strategies that deliver measurable, rapid returns. The case for customized refrigerators is clear: they accelerate sales, elevate brand perception, and prove ROI within three months, not years.

As Harvard Business Review highlighted, shopper marketing is moving toward micro-interventions that change consumer behavior at the precise moment of choice (Harvard Business Review, 2018). Customized refrigerators perfectly embody this principle: small-scale, high-impact assets with immediate sales implications.

The Strategic Advantage

Companies that adopt customized refrigeration early gain a competitive edge. They not only capture consumer attention but also secure privileged space in retail environments. In industries where shelf visibility is saturated, this can be the difference between leading the category or being invisible.

The message is simple: if you want to increase sales within three months, invest in customized refrigerators. A three-month trial is often enough to prove their effectiveness. In the battle for consumer attention, the coldest space in the store might just be the hottest opportunity for growth.
