Revelation! Why do fruit stalls prefer "half-cut" watermelons?
In the scorching summer, the scorching sun is in the sky, and at this time, people will always crave a bite of cool watermelon to quench their thirst. Walking in the streets and alleys of the city, on the colorful fruit stalls, the big green watermelons can always arouse people's endless appetite. But if you look closely, you'll notice an interesting phenomenon: many fruit stalls always cut watermelons in half, revealing their alluring red flesh. Why do merchants prefer this "half-cut" way of selling watermelons? What kind of secret is hidden behind it?
1. Visually appealing, irresistible temptation
In the hectic city life, people's attention is often distracted by various things. Fruit stall owners knew that in order to stand out from the crowd and attract the attention of customers, they had to make some special visual changes. So, they cut the watermelon whole, revealing its bright red flesh. This strong visual impact not only makes the watermelon itself look more attractive, but also visually brings a sense of coolness to customers, as if they can already feel the sweet taste. In addition, the cut watermelon can also exude a rich fruity aroma, which further stimulates the customer's desire to buy.
2. Quality display, double the trust
When buying watermelons, consumers are most worried about buying melons of poor quality. The fruit stall owners cut the watermelon and sold it so that customers can intuitively see the internal structure of the watermelon. This not only shows the freshness of the watermelon, but also makes customers feel more confident about buying it. For those customers who are not very good at picking watermelons, this transparent sales method is undoubtedly a boon. They can judge the quality of watermelon by looking at the color of its flesh, the number of seeds, and the distribution of its seeds, so that they can make more informed purchasing decisions. At the same time, this method also reflects the respect and trust of merchants to consumers, so that customers can feel more sincerity and warmth in the purchase process.
3. Flexibility to meet your needs
Watermelons are usually relatively large, and it can be difficult for many families to eat one at a time. If you can't eat it all after you buy it, it will not only cause waste, but it may also spoil due to improper storage. The way fruit stall owners cut watermelons in half and sell them gives consumers more choice. They can choose the right size watermelon pieces according to their needs, not only do they not have to worry about the problem of not being able to eat enough to waste, but also enjoy the delicious taste of watermelon. In addition, for some special occasions (such as picnics, parties, etc.), this small piece of watermelon is also more convenient to carry and share.
4. Increase sales and profits
From a merchant's point of view, cutting watermelons in half and selling them can also further increase sales and profits. First of all, by cutting and selling, merchants can show the quality and freshness of the watermelon, so as to attract more customers to come and buy. Secondly, it can also increase the number of purchases made by customers. Since watermelons are cut into small pieces, customers often choose to buy a few more pieces to share with family or friends when they buy them. In this way, the merchant's sales volume will naturally be boosted. Finally, merchants can further increase their profits through flexible pricing methods such as block pricing or weighing. After all, for consumers, why not buy the same delicious watermelon for less money?
5. Environmental protection and energy saving, reduce waste
In today's advocating environmental protection and energy saving, the way to cut watermelons in half and sell them is also in line with this concept. Due to the large size of watermelon, it is easy to waste it if you buy it whole and eat it all at once. Cutting it in half can reduce this waste. In addition, merchants will also pay attention to controlling the size and quantity of cuts during the sales process to avoid waste. Why not do this eco-friendly and increase sales?
6. Cultural inheritance, embodying emotion
In addition to the above points, the way of cutting watermelon in half and selling it also contains a deep cultural connotation and emotional value. In traditional Chinese culture, watermelon is not only a fruit that quenches your thirst, but also a fruit that symbolizes reunion and happiness. In modern society, with the acceleration of people's life rhythm and the change of family structure, more and more people begin to miss the time when they sat around with their families and shared watermelons. Therefore, the way to sell watermelon in half is not only a way for people to relive this good memory, but also to feel more emotional warmth and a sense of belonging while enjoying the food.

At the same time, we would also like to thank the hard-working fruit stall owners, who brought us the coolness and happiness of this summer with their wisdom and sweat.
