Business/Commerce (general) / distribution
French term or phrase: corner
Dans les points de vente, il s'agit d'un endroit ou d'une colonne (en carton par ex.) où sont exposés des produits, (dans les parfumeries l'endroit où son présentés les produits Chanel par ex.) Bien que ce soit un anglicisme, il semble que le terme anglais 'corner' ne s'utilise pas. Un anglophone pourrait-il me dire quel est le terme usité en anglais. Merci !

Hmm....dont want to labour this point too much but is it possible to conclude that the closer a display unit is positioned to the till the more it becomes a Point of Sale and vice versa?!
