End caps are visible from the cross-aisle — customers approaching the aisle see the end cap face before they turn into the aisle. This gives end caps significantly higher product exposure than mid-aisle positions. Retailers typically use end caps for promotional merchandise, seasonal items, and high-margin products that benefit from maximum customer exposure.
