Shop shelving for your winter goods

Shelving4shops offers versatile shop shelving for every season. Winter is heading our way which means shop-keepers across the country are getting ready to show off their winter warmers, whether they are selling hats and gloves, flasks or cold remedies we have a solution to suit your needs.

Peg boards are a great way to sell small items like hats and gloves bagged sweets or batteries. These are easily installed and can be used as part of an end promotional, gondola or wall bay or you can simply change your existing plain back panels for peg board. You can still use a shelf with a peg board back panel so they truly are a versatile product.

You can also place wire dump bins by the counter to maximise on the ‘waiting in the queue sales’.

There are several options for maximising small spaces, retail space is expensive so you need to make the best of the space available, here are just a few options below .

Cold remedies and other medicines are often kept behind the counter in smaller convenience stores, using our wall fixed uprights (U Channel) and a small 200mm shelf we can offer a solution that involves very little space being taken up. The wall fixed uprights are easy to install and if you like you can also install some peg board back panels to give you an extra display space.

All of the above accompany our wall and gondola shelving. Our wall and gondola bays are easy to install and you can add additional bays to them at any time. They are compatible with 50mm pitch systems and are a great way to display almost any product you have to sell. With a choice of epos colour, shelf size, height and width you can customise your shelving to suit your needs.

At Shelving4Shops we hold large quantities of used and new shop shelving and accessories, including:

·     Gondola shelving - This is one of the most popular shelving choices we offer, it is a highly versatile option that can be used to create aisles throughout your store or can be used in conjunction with other shelving units we offer to create one seamless shelving unit throughout your store.

·     Wall shelving - This shelving can be used around the perimeter of your shop floor to maximise your floor space and provide ample room for displaying items.

·     Shopping baskets - Using baskets throughout your store encourages customers to pick up more items throughout their visit as they are not having to balance items in their arms.

·     Wire stacking baskets and dump bins - These are an excellent way to display impulse purchase items and sale items throughout the store. As these are freestanding they can be used to fill empty space in your store and can be easily moved to create new interesting displays.

·     Corner shelving - Utilise every inch of floor space you have by using specialist corner shelving to bring life back into an overlooked corner of your store. These units can be used in conjunction with our other bay units to create a seamless display.

·     Peg board shelving and pegs - Not all products sit well on classic flat shelving, our range of pegboard shelving allows you to hang products to ensure they are displayed in the best way possible. All of our bays can be slotted together to ensure a seamless shelving display.

Seasonal Shop Shelving Ideas

Take advantage of seasonal changes to bring interest to your shop shelving displays and boost promotional sales of seasonal items in your store. It's almost October which means Halloween is just around the corner, closely followed by Christmas! This year has sped past but there's still time to prepare for the busy holiday period, and it's important to make the most of your shelving displays when it comes to seasonal products.

Use themed products and decorations according to the season or holiday and make an effort to make your store appealing and enter into the spirit of the celebration! Group related products together so it's easy for customers to find seasonal goods, or set up a particular area of the store with themed items and clear signage. Don't forget to add promotional material and products to your window display to show customers what you have in stock for the holidays. Here are a few ways to use seasonal shop shelving displays to increase sales during the autumn and winter months:

Halloween

Give your customers a spooky experience in store for October by decorating with fake cobwebs, spiders, cardboard cut-outs of witches and monsters. You could even dress up on the 31st and stay open late to provide customers with last-minute sweet supplies, or give out free treats to visiting children! Themed stock might include:

• Sweets and treats
• Costumes
• Spooky decorations
• Toffee apples
• Halloween themed cakes and produce
• Popcorn
• Sparklers and fireworks
• Glow sticks

Christmas

Get into Christmas with carols and music, a Santa hat and cheerful staff! Start preparing for Christmas stock months in advance and set aside certain areas of shop shelving for seasonal products. Think about what customers will be looking for in your store to help them get ready for the Christmas period and add in extra products in temporary dump bins around the shop. If you need extra shelving, think about adding end bays, corner shelving units or wire stacking baskets wherever you have space. If you don't already have shopping baskets for customers, place a stack at the entrance to your store to encourage shoppers to pick up extra items as they browse. Ideas for Christmas related shelving and products include:

• Wrapping paper, cards and sticky tape in dump bins at the tills
• Stocking fillers
• Lowering the price on surplus stock for cheap presents/supplies
• Christmas decorations
• Seasonal food and drink
• Kits for making mulled wine, Christmas cake etc
• Dressing up clothes eg: Santa hats
• Christmas crackers
• Toys, books and gifts

Get your store ready for the holiday period and think about how to rearrange and restock your shop shelving to make the most out of seasonal products and promotions!

We have our full range of new shop shelving and accessories available online at Shelving4Shops including:

·     Gondola shelving - Many stores choose to use gondola shelving due to its versatility and the range of widths and heights that we stock mean that it is perfect for every store. This shelving can be used to create aisles throughout your store and provide ample display room.

·    Wall shelving - If you have a lot of wall space then wall shelving is an excellent way to maximise the floor space you have available. We have a range of heights and widths available to ensure you can find the perfect fit for your store.

·    Shopping baskets - Placing stacks of baskets at the front of your store makes it easier for customers to carry more items. It can also help to have stacks of baskets around the store to encourage customers to pick up more items than they originally intended. 

·    Wire stacking baskets - Using wire stacking baskets can be a great way to fill that empty space in the corner or that open floor space you have that is too small for a full bay of shelving. The versatility of these baskets make them a great addition to any store and can be moved regularly to draw customers eyes to new displays.

·   Corner shelving - The design of classic straight shelving means that often a corner is left empty or block off. The simple addition of a corner shelving unit can open up that corner and provide extra display space for products.

       ·     Peg board shelving and pegs - Not all products that are stocked will sit well on traditional                   flat shelving, pegboard shelving is an excellent alternative that can, with the simple addition                 of hooks, easily display hanging items.

Shop Shelving Showcase Displays

Create a little variety in your shop shelving by switching up your showcase displays regularly to highlight promotions, popular products and end-of-line items. By stacking and organising your products in an attractive way on your shop shelving, customers will be drawn into your store and encouraged to browse through each aisle and shelf. Gondola shelving is ideal for this, as it creates aisles within your store space and provides double-sided shelving to promote a wide range of items. Wall mounted shelving is easily accessible, while pegboard shelving allows you to stock many different sized products, and hang items that are difficult to stack on a shelf.

Sometimes the right kind of shelving can boost an average product to a desirable one - it's all about positioning, arrangement, signage and promotion. Think about the overall aesthetic of your store:

• Is your store clean and tidy?
• Is your store bright and well-maintained?
• Is your store colourful or coordinated?
• Do products and promotions have clear signage?
• Is it easy for customers to browse your shelving?
• Are similar items grouped together?
• Does your store smell fresh, clean and inviting? (Fresh produce like baked goods, coffee and tea, fruit and vegetables can all bring a tasty element to the scent of your store.)

Brighten up your shop shelving with clear signs, Epos ticket strips and promotional material to entice customers around the store. When you have a promotional product in stock, place it in clear view on an end bay or in a prominent position and draw attention to it!

Your retail displays have a huge effect on your sales, so it's worth choosing high quality, durable shop shelving that can be adjusted to suit a wide variety of products. All our shelves at Shelving4Shops are height adjustable so you can vary your shelving configuration whenever you need to. 

We have our full range of new shop shelving and accessories available online at Shelving4Shops including:

Christmas…….Already?

We all like a good old moan that Christmas gets earlier every year! By October (or September for some stores), the Christmas products start to hit the shop shelves and Christmas songs blare out from over the speaker systems.

So, almost half way through September, it’s time to start thinking about the Christmas displays and what stock you will have on offer. Of course it’s not just Christmas that comes round every year, winter does too, so shelves full of ice scrapers, de-icer, gloves and cold remedies also need to be ordered in time for the new season.

However, ordering the stock (and the cheesy Christmas album) isn’t the only thing you need to do to get the most from the new season. Store owners always need to think about the next promotion and how best to display it. Would the gloves do better in a dump bin by the counter so people pick them up while waiting to pay or would they look better on a peg board end bay that you can see as you walk through door? 

Peg Board Display 

As a store owner there is so much to think about and it can sometimes be overwhelming, which is why Shelving4Shops is here to help with all of your shop shelving requirements.

Shelving4Shops offers advice and a store planning service or every customer, helping you to decide on how best to set out your shop shelving to maximise sales. This might include adding a new promotional end bay so that you can draw attention to promotional products. Peg board panels can easily replace plain ones and new hooks allow you display a range of products, saving you lots of space on your shop shelving.

Peg board promo bay 

Of course, if you don’t have the space for a complete new promotional end bay, there are always tiered wire shelves that are so small and light they can fit into even the smallest of spaces, or why not freshen up your shelves with new EPOS strips in green or red to show off Christmas sections of your store.

Tiered wire shelves - light and great for a tight space 

We have our full range of new shop shelving and accessories available online at Shelving4Shops including:

·     Gondola shelving - Many stores choose to use gondola shelving due to its versatility and the range of widths and heights that we stock mean that it is perfect for every store. This shelving can be used to create aisles throughout your store and provide ample display room.

·     Shopping baskets - Placing stacks of baskets at the front of your store makes it easier for customers to carry more items. It can also help to have stacks of baskets around the store to encourage customers to pick up more items than they originally intended. 

·     Wire stacking baskets - Using wire stacking baskets can be a great way to fill that empty space in the corner or that open floor space you have that is too small for a full bay of shelving. The versatility of these baskets make them a great addition to any store and can be moved regularly to draw customers eyes to new displays.

There's no no time to lose, Christmas really is just around the corner!

Using End Caps and End Bays with Gondola Shelving

Gondola end bays and end caps are the perfect way to finish a shelving run and provide a neat and effective space for promotional displays.

Making the most of all the available shop space is vital for a successful store and end bays provide a useful way of filling dead space without sacrificing floor space. There's no need to rearrange your shelving to accommodate an extra shelving unit, simply add an end bay onto the end of an existing run of wall or gondola shelving for an immediate fresh facelift for your store!

Most convenience and retail stores use gondola shelving to create aisles and divide the shop floor into sections. End bays fit at the end of these runs at the same height for a seamless finish and add an entire extra unit of adjustable shelves.

End bays are ideal for promotional displays, seasonal items, end-of-line stock, and for creating an impact when customers enter the store. End bay and end cap units can be used with shelving, slatwall panels and pegboard backing and also offer an extra base shelf for bulky or large items.

We have our full range of new shop shelving and accessories available online at Shelving4Shops including:

·     Gondola shelving - Many stores choose to use gondola shelving due to its versatility and the range of widths and heights that we stock mean that it is perfect for every store. This shelving can be used to create aisles throughout your store and provide ample display room.

If we don't have the right height in store, we can source used shop shelving to match with your existing units. Call us on 01455 221512 or visit us online at www.shelving4shops.co.uk
