If you can’t or don’t want to build a Bulk Bucket Display as previously documented, here is a quicker way as posted by my friends over at POPON.NET. Just wedge bulk buckets into a stepladder, fill with merchandise, and position at a high traffic locations. Do make sure the bucket wedges in solidly, and slopes a bit to keep the items in the bucket rather than spilling onto the floor. CLICK the thumbnail for a slightly closer view.
