Marinas should use countertop eyewear for a compact trip-essential offer and floor displays when sunglass demand and seasonal traffic justify meaningful variety and refill depth.
Countertop works when
- the marina store is very small
- the assortment is a narrow convenience offer
- space is needed for higher-priority boating merchandise
Floor works when
- sunglasses are a major outdoor category
- polarized or other verified feature options need more room
- reader powers also need coverage
- peak-season traffic supports regular replenishment
Plan for seasonality
A larger format may make sense during a long boating season but not in a low-volume seasonal location.
