Creative Merchandising Ideas

Your store will shine with increased traffic and sales with these creative merchandising ideas that utilize shelving from Shelving, Inc.

Place merchandise outside

Customers walking by your store can’t resist a bright display of products placed outdoors. Use wire shelving, which can be placed on casters for easy-moving, to bring your store outside.

Identify the goods

You may know what a find that new item you just picked up is, but your customers don’t. Let them in on the big secret with visible signs attached to your shelving.

Create categories

Sort items by type or brand. Make it easy for customers to find what they are looking for.

Create rooms with shelving

Related to the above, use shelving to create different spaces. Wire shelving units can be arranged to create “walls” that divide your store’s categories by space.

Use consistent material

No matter what type of shelving you choose, be sure it’s consistent for a clean look. Wire shelves create a clean look while rivet shelving offers a more industrial style.

Vary the position of merchandise

About once a month, re-emphasize certain products. There’s no need to rearrange the entire store, but bring new items to eye-level on occasion.

Place items so that people can touch them

Seeing may be believing, but feeling is buying. If an item is particularly soft, allow a customer to find out for themselves.
