Abstract
An aesthetically pleasing dump bin insert that allows for fast, economical resupply, and increased marketing opportunities is provided along with systems and methods utilizing such a dump bin insert. One embodiment of the invention is directed to a dump bin insert comprising one or more walls, a bottom coupled with the one or more walls to define a display region, and one or more products received within the display region.
Description
- The present invention relates to inserts for dump bins used for the display of products, particularly in a retail setting.
- Dump bins are widely used in the retail industry to place products in environments other than traditional shelving units. Stores frequently place dump bins in high traffic areas such as near check out lines to promote sale items or other items which may be sold in high volumes.
- Despite such wide use, dump bins suffer from several problems. First, dump bins must be stocked by employees. During particularly busy shopping periods such as the “back to school” shopping period, the frequent restocking of dump bins imposes an unnecessary time burden on employees who are diverted from helping customers. Second, dump bins often do not provide an optimal display of products. Many dump bins include a large chamber into which products are added. Such a presentation can be problematic because as the product level is depleted, customers may either not see a product at the bottom of the chamber or may be unable to easily reach the product. Moreover, the random arrangement of products in a dump bin may not be aesthetically pleasing and may not comport with the desired appearance for a particular product, brand, or store. Third, conventional dump bins are inefficient marketing vehicles in that the current dump bins must either be branded for a particular product or left generic.
- It would be desirable to provide a dump bin insert that allows for fast, economical restocking that is both aesthetically pleasing and allows for increased marketing opportunities.
- A dump bin insert that allows for fast, economical restocking, and increased marketing opportunities is provided along with systems and methods utilizing such a dump bin insert.
- According to the present invention, a dump bin insert comprises one or more walls, a bottom coupled with the one or more walls, the one or more walls and the bottom defining a display region, and one or more products received within the display region. The dump bin insert is configured to be mounted in a dump bin and the one or more products are received within the display region prior to mounting in the dump bin.
- The dump bin insert can include a film for sealing the display region. The film can envelop the one or more walls, the bottom, and the display region. Alternatively, the film can be coupled with the one or more walls
- The dump bin insert can include product display instructions. Product display instructions can be printed on the film. Alternatively, product display instructions can be coupled with the film. In another embodiment, the product display instructions are located within the display region.
- The walls of the dump bin insert can be transparent, translucent, and/or opaque and can, in some embodiments, be composed of acrylic glass.
- The dump bin insert can include one or more advertisements adjacent to at least one of the one or more walls. In some embodiments, at least one or more of the walls comprises a slit for receiving one or more advertisements. Additionally or alternatively, one or more advertisements can be printed on or affixed to one or more of the walls.
- The walls of the dump bin can be tapered and/or notched.
- The dump bin insert can be constructed in a variety of shapes. In some embodiments, the dump bin insert is cylindrical and/or conical. In other embodiments, a horizontal cross-section of the dump bin insert approximates a shape selected from the group consisting of: a square, a rectangle, a triangle, a circle, an oval, a polygon, a parallelogram, a rhombus, an annulus, a crescent, a semicircle, an ellipse, a super ellipse, and a deltoid.
- The present invention also relates to a replenishable dump bin system comprising a base, and a dump bin insert. The dump bin insert comprises one or more walls, and a bottom coupled with the one or more walls, the one or more walls and the bottom defining a display region. The dump bin insert is configured to be mounted in the base.
- The base can be constructed in a variety of shapes. In some embodiments, the base is cylindrical and/or conical. In other embodiments, a horizontal cross-section of the base approximates a shape selected from the group consisting of: a square, a rectangle, a triangle, a circle, an oval, a polygon, a parallelogram, a rhombus, an annulus, a crescent, a semicircle, an ellipse, a super ellipse, and a deltoid.
- The invention is also directed to a method of producing a replenishable dump bin insert comprising providing a dump bin insert, stocking the dump bin insert with one or more products, and distributing the dump bin insert. The dump bin insert includes one or more walls and a bottom coupled with the one or more walls. The one or more walls and the bottom define a display region. The dump bin insert is configured to be mounted in a dump bin.
- The method may also include sealing the dump bin insert, providing instructions for display of the one or more products, and/or placing the dump bin insert in a container prior to distributing the dump bin insert. In another embodiment, the method includes selecting the dump bin insert based on the quantity of the products to be stocked in the dump bin insert and/or selecting the dump bin insert based on the size of the products to be stocked in the dump bin insert. The method may also include arranging the products within the dump bin insert.
- The invention is also directed to a method of replenishing a product display comprising receiving a dump bin insert stocked with one or more products, and placing the dump bin insert in a base. The dump bin insert includes one or more walls, a bottom coupled with the one or more walls, and one more products received in a display region defined by the one or more walls and the bottom.
