Unfortunately, we see it misused nearly as frequently as we see it used. With your retail square footage at a premium — and too often commanding a premium rent — that’s one thing you literally cannot afford. As with any [retail shelving](https://www.shelvingdesignsystems.com/retail-shelving) provided by Shelving Design Systems, there’s a right way and a wrong way to use gondolas, and we’re here to help you get it right the first time.

Gondola shelving is the most popular type of shelving for use in the center area of retail shops because it lends itself easily to dividing the area into sections, creating aisles, and fostering a specific traffic flow for your customers. When set up properly, the installation of your gondola shelving can make it seem natural for visitors to walk in a certain pattern that you've predetermined will give them a view of all the different sections or departments.

It has to be convenient to use, efficient as storage, sturdy, and must be able to showcase merchandise so that customers will want to buy. In addition, it also has to be "stackable" to make the best use of space.  [Read More](https://blog.shelvingdesignsystems.com/gondola-shelving-and-the-importance-of-stackability) Topics: [gondola shelving](https://blog.shelvingdesignsystems.com/topic/gondola-shelving) ## [No, They're Not Boats Found in the Canals of Venice](https://blog.shelvingdesignsystems.com/no-theyre-not-boats-found-in-the-canals-of-venice) Posted by [Robert Walthall](https://blog.shelvingdesignsystems.com/author/robert-walthall) on Wed, Feb, 22, 2017 @ 04:33 PM - [Tweet](https://twitter.com/share) [![](http://www.generalstoresupply.com/Images/Shelves/madix_composit.jpg)](https://blog.shelvingdesignsystems.com/no-theyre-not-boats-found-in-the-canals-of-venice) For many, the word “gondola” is sure to conjure up visions of the narrow, flat-bottomed boats being poled by singing gondoliers through the canals of Venice or the cars dangling precariously from cables taking passengers, especially skiers, up the mountainside. It's also the name given to that part of a hot air balloon or zeppelin where the pilot and passengers travel. In the world of retail sales, however, a gondola is a particular shelving arrangement that can be found in just about every possible type of retail sales establishment and that has long been the most popular means of displaying goods for sale.
