  • Make displays more powerful. "Spillovers", waterfalls and large compelling displays really move the spuds. 
  • Sell a wide variety.
  • Provide a supply of bulk reds, whites, and russets, plus an assortment of 5, 10 and 20 lb. bags. 
  • Use color breaks to separate the natural and varied hues of potatoes.
