When it comes to vaping in the UK, Elf Bar is a household name. But in 2025, the vape landscape is far more diverse than one dominant brand.
Key takeaways
- Visual merchandising drives an estimated 35–45% of in-store impulse vape sales.
- Eye-level shelf placement consistently outsells lower / upper shelves by ~2x.
- Refresh display arrangements every 4–6 weeks to combat shelf-blindness.
