While older retail shelving systems required tools and significant effort to set up, break down, and change configurations, today's systems use slots, brackets, and other easy to manage adjustment methods for quick changeability.
In the market for new shelving? What's your pleasure? Plastic, metal, glass, wood – or a combination of these materials? Today's retail shelving systems don't just focus on utility, although that is certainly still important. Instead, they combine utility with aesthetics so that you can buy shelves that look good, fit your decor, and attractively display merchandise. You need not give up good looks for serviceability, in other words. You can have it all.
While gondola shelving will always be the mainstay of retail shelving, you can also choose from new and different fixtures so that you can come up with a variety of displays suitable for every occasion.
Tabletop displays are perfect to showcase the latest, hottest products, bestsellers, or "quick grab" impulse buy items for customers. Place them anywhere you have a little extra space for extra profitability.
One of the most appropriate uses for tabletop displays is at the entrance to your store; draw customers in with the latest bestsellers. Another is the end of aisle display. Tabletop displays placed here both draw customers to the display to look at the product in question, and draw their attention to the next department over so that they are encouraged to continue shopping.
Slatwall displays are the perfect mobile displays when gondola shelving won't quite do. They are light weight and sleek, and easily configurable with just a moment's notice. There is no complicated setup or breakdown, and you can also choose from other accessories like baskets, waterfalls, hangers, faceouts, and hooks display bulky or oddly shaped items, or to hang clothing.
Today's retail shelving is mobile. Even gondola shelving can be broken down and set up again quickly and easily. It doesn't look like it; your customers will think these workhorses are permanent. You can even set up your floor layout for your store with gondola shelving –and then change configurations whenever you need to.
It's true that certain shelving units need weight and heft to do their jobs. Shelving like gondola units are actually used as stationary means to set up your floor layout, as previously stated.
However, where it counts, modern retail shelving is just as sturdy as its older counterparts, but lighter and more mobile. This gives you the ability to set up displays wherever you need to and then move them just as quickly. There is no more need to worry about setting up displays that will stay relevant for months, or until you get lots of muscle to take them down.
Today's retail shelving isn't like the shelving of old. With new colors, materials, and styles to choose from, you can buy shelving that fits your decor as an accent or complement. Even better, today's shelving is so adjustable and movable that you will not need to buy more than once. Instead, use your updated shelving stock to create all looks you want – at a fraction of the price vs. all new.
