Merchandising Tips for Retailers

There are endless ways to merchandise your inventory. If you are looking for some fresh ideas, you’ve come to the right place. It is always good to keep things changing when it comes to retail. Customers will get bored if they see the same displays twice and stop considering shopping in your store.

The goal of any display is to grab attention. The purpose of window displays is to get customers interested in coming inside the store. Promotional displays are generally at the entrance of the store, or in a high-traffic area, like a walkway. Mannequins can be used to bring customers to certain parts of the store. Signage is a great way to communicate to your customers as well. Lighting, fully stocked garment racks, and helpful employees are also necessary. But there is still something else to consider.

Retail stores can benefit greatly from utilizing retail gridwall and retail slatwall fixtures. These commercial strength displays do something that regular clothing racks cannot. They get all of your merchandise right up in the customer’s line of sight.

Slatwall and gridwall both have detachable hooks, bars, clamps, and shelves that can easily be moved and rearranged to give you the most aesthetically pleasing display possible. Employees can simply move the fixtures left or right, up or down, to get the spacing right between merchandise.

As a retail store owner, you know the importance of keeping your racks fully stocked. Customers ignore garment racks that have only a couple of things hanging on them. People are actually turned off by a clothing rack that is near empty. They get the impression that something is wrong with the garments hanging there. They wonder why you are not restocking. Maybe these clothes have gone out of style, are being clearanced, or they think that the chances of their size being there is really slim. This is where gridwall or slatwall can save you again.

On a grid wall or a slat wall, you can easily combine like items on to one peg, bar or shelf. Combining items that you can’t restock helps to keep the racks looking full. If you don’t have anything else to fill in the hole, then simply move around some racks on the grid wall or slat wall to space them out more evenly. The next time you get new merchandise, simply move everything closer together again, making space for the new merchandise.

This technique keeps your retail store always looking full. Gridwall and slatwall keep everything directly in sight of the customers. They also clear out floor space making the store easy to navigate for customers, reducing the places for shoplifters to hide, and making room for any extra holiday or promotional items that you may have coming in.

Small classroom layout & design...?

I teach 4th grade & have a VERY small room - less than 500 square feet for 18-22 students. Most photos I see on the web are for rooms 3-4+ times bigger than mine. Anyone have ideas for the best use of my space.

One wall is all cabinets & one bookcase. One wall has a shelf/pegs down the length of it. The front wall is all markerboard. The other wall contains the one 5'x7' bulletin board. The kids have standard desks, the ones with a "shelf" or whatever below the top for books,etc.

Nothing can be attached to the walls, unless it's light enough to go up with tape. No windows. Grid ceiling. I often put student work on the outside of the door & in the hall to expand my room.

Any suggestions or links to smaller rooms would be helpful.

Don't use tape to hang things in your room use stikki clips

the stuff will stay up all year.

You can't make your room bigger but you can focus on classroom management ideas to make the space cozy instead of small. If your disorganized and the kids don't get along with one another the space will seem smaller!!

Another idea - try to get on a design show on HGTV!
