Shelving for Events

Valentine's Day, Mother's Day and Christmas are just few of the big holidays that the retail industry prepares for months in advance. A lot of effort and development goes into creating areas in the store that are just dedicated to these holidays alone. However, adding a promotional Gondola unit or end bay at a till point is a great way of encouraging those extra impulse buys from customers. 

According to recent reports, almost 90% of customers impulse buy, and end up going home with products that they did not intend to purchase. This is due to either the product being on offer, or simply the lack of effort required to add that product to their basket. 

A promotional bay or an end bay is a great way of displaying products that are associated with the upcoming holiday, or even just products that are on promotion or are fast selling lines. Implementing upcoming holidays and events into a promotional or end bay is a good way of subtlety reminding customers about the holiday, and could encourage them to make that additional purchase. 

Gondola units are usually placed at the front of the till points, so whilst customers are queuing they can browse through products that come across as a great deal, or related products to what they’re purchasing. The placement of these gondolas usually leads to an increase in impulse buys from customers. The products look desirable at a cheap price, and it requires almost no effort to pick up that extra product. Having additional promotional bays and end bays displaying products make a worthwhile addition to the end of a till point. They capture the customers’ attention, and also gives them something to contemplate and look at whilst waiting to pay. 

Even if a customer has already bought something for Valentine’s Day, Mothers Day, Christmas Day etc, if they see something that captures their attention and is on a great offer, there’s a very strong chance they’ll add it to their basket, even if it’s something that they don’t actually need. 

Having a promotional bay at the till points creates an easy shopping opportunity for customers. It makes it so easy for them t to pick up that extra product and add it to their basket. It’s hassle free and simple to do, and the customer feels as if they have gotten a great deal from your store. 

Wire Stacking Baskets & Wire Shelving

Even when you’ve developed the ideal shop floor plan and layout, you still might find a few empty awkward spaces here and there. Wire Stacking Baskets and Shelving are ideal for filling up that extra space, ensuring that you make the most out of your store layout. 

Our wire stacking baskets are extremely versatile and come as individual units. They can easily be stacked on top of each other or fitted together to make the most out of your store space. These units are ideal if you want to shift excess merchandise, or continue to promote a fast selling product. Placing these at the till points will encourage customers to put items in their basket whilst waiting to pay. 

According to recent reports, around 90% of people are prone to impulse buying. This is when customers purchase items that weren’t originally on their shopping list. This is either due to the item being on offer, or just the ease of adding the item to their basket. Customers tend to not want to go out of their way to reach for products, they want to shop for items that require as little effort as possible, which is where wire stacking baskets and wire shelving come into place. 

Our freestanding wire shelving units are perfect for when you have an empty wall space; a wire shelving unit can temporarily fill out that space, as emptiness within a store can give the impression of an under developed store. 

Here at Shelving4Shops we understand the importance of keeping the store layout ‘fresh’ for prospective customers. Our lightweight wire stacking baskets and shelving units are ideal for temporary solutions, or for just swiftly changing the dynamics of the store layout without making any drastic changes. 

We also understand that within the retail sector, temporary changes to promotional lines and layouts are a common occurrence and are often last minute. Wire stacking baskets, dump bins and shelving units are excellent temporary solutions.  

What makes Gondola Racking different?

Chances are we’ve walked past and around Gondola Racking units numerous times without even realising when we’re browsing through a store. Gondola Racking is a subtle way of making the most out of spare and empty floor space, and can make a great addition to your store layout. 

Gondola Racking units have shelves on both sides of the unit, meaning that one side of a unit no longer has to be impractical, completely counterproductive and empty. Gondola Racking helps develop a stable shopping layout for customers. Aisles are created, therefore enforcing a steady and stable customer traffic flow, creating a positive customer experience. 

Gondola racking units also allow merchandise to be displayed and exhibited to the full extent. Customers are fully exposed to merchandise, and Gondola Racking allows them to browse more easily and effectively. Customers that are able to browse more efficiently are more likely to make purchases within your store. 

Having a continuous flow of merchandise provides an easier browsing experience for customers. Gondola Racking allows products that are related to each other to be grouped together, this then leads to additional purchases from customers, also known as impulse buys. 

Here at Shelving4 Shops, we understand that within the retail industry it’s important to ensure that the store is kept looking fresh for customers. That’s why our Gondola Racking units are also versatile and interchangeable, meaning you can easily change components, and move the units to another location, creating a fresh new look for your store. 

Cutting Corners

Do you have a bare empty corner in your store? Chances are that it’s probably collecting dust, but there is an easier way to fill that dark empty void, and the answer isn’t to put a plant there! It would make a lot more sense to invest in one of our sturdy corner shelving units. 

Corner units are an effective way to fill up an unappealing deserted corner. It also furnishes your store in a professional manner, rather than having neglected space in the corner of the shop. Unused space can give an poor impression to the store and the company. They also help provide a continuous flow of display, as sometimes, it can look a bit odd when theres a massive gap between shelving units, and then the display carries on around the corner. This of course wouldn’t happen if a corner unit was in place, meaning the continuous flow of display would be restored, and customers shopping experience is a lot more efficient.  

Not only do they provide a well polished display, they also obviously provide more shelving space to stock products on, meaning that a more cramped area of your store can be free from clutter, therefore again providing a more effective shopping experience for the customer. 

There isn’t really any reason not to fill a vacant corner with a corner unit, it can only bring great things to your store and merchandise. 

Dump Bins - They’re Not All Rubbish

Dump Bins. The name might not be so glamorous, but they’re more convenient than you think, and they can definitely benefit your business in a variety of ways. 

Not a lot of customers appreciate shopping in a seriously cramped shop with little amounts of space to browse; it completely counteracts the concept of great customer experience. However, the alternative doesn’t have to be having vast amounts of empty floor space; this can come across as a little eerie. This is where dump bins come into the equation. These are an easy and efficient way to fill up empty floor space, and they also look neat, tidy and can easily fit into a lonely corner. 

Dump bins can also help you move excess products. If you find that you have an excess amount of a product just sitting around aimlessly, dump bins are a great way of shifting that product fast and effectively, as customers subconsciously just pick up a product that they weren’t even out shopping for in the first place. 

They also help products come across as a bit of a bargain. The majority of stores use dump bins to effectively shift an offer on a product they have an excess amount of because it makes them seem more of a bargain.. 

Of course it’s important to remember that not all products work that well in dump bins. It wouldn’t be a great idea to dump a pile of magazines into a dump bin, they would probably be ruined within days, and therefore the value of the magazines would be severely decreased. The same would apply to delicate items that are prone to smashing or breaking, this would then clearly become a health and safety issue. Ensure that you use your dump bin effectively!   

Edgy Shelves

Accessorise your shelves! We’re not talking about adding sparkly bits and bobs to your shelving units. Instead, think about implementing shelf barkers into your store; this will prove to be far more effective for you, and for your customers. 

Just a single shelf edge strip can improve a customers shopping experience and loyalty to your store dramatically. It can save them valuable shopping time by allowing them to quickly identify the product and the price. It may not seem that much of a big deal if a customer is having trouble identifying a certain product, as surely they can easily just ask one of your friendly members of staff for assistance? True, but if your store gets busy, having a shelf edge strip will save the customer time, and allow you to spend more valuable time with other customers who require assistance. 

These days, people lead such busy and hectic lifestyles, they want their shopping experience to be over and done with as quickly and efficiently as possible. Their patience will most likely be tested if they can’t find a product within a minute of entering a store. Applying shelf edge barkers in front of products around the store will help ensure that customers can identify certain products a lot easier. It can also help them compare prices between similar products. Instead of inspecting the product for a small price label, all the customer has to do is scan along the shelf edge barker, allowing them to make a quick snap judgment on whether that product is going in their basket or not. 

Shelf edge barkers also allow for offers to stand out more clearly, and effectively catch the customers eye. At the end of they day, you honestly have nothing to lose by implementing shelf edge barkers into your store - it can only make your customers’, and your life easier.
