Extra space

It doesn’t seem to matter how much shelving space you have, it just never seems to be enough! Shelving4Shops can not only help you to maximise on the space that you do have, but also provide extra ideas to give you innovative solutions to your ongoing challenges. 
Shop accessories, such as dump bins, wire stacking baskets and wire shelving, can be a useful alternative for either displaying promotions or just catching the customer’s eye to see what useful extras will complement their already selected items. 
Wire stacking baskets are a useful addition to any store and can be used in a variety of ways, singly and in tiers. You can change their purpose week to week, as it takes no effort to move them around to highlight a different product. By placing them at the checkout point, they can encourage a customer to add previously overlooked items to their own basket of shopping as they wait to pay. Special offers or end-of-lines can also be offered at this point, and especially create a novel way to move left over stock along. Leftover stock can clutter up shelves unnecessarily - the wire stacking baskets free the space up to enable fresh lines to be displayed, whilst not wasting the old stock.
The adjustable wire dump baskets that we offer are another inventive way of displaying special promotions. A line of dump baskets keeps the customers interest at the checkout, whilst maximising on opportunities without taking up more shelving space.
Free standing, lightweight wire shelving can be used to solve a temporary need, or a more longstanding problem when standard shelving will not suit.  It can also be used for window displays or a short term promotion. Its lightweight and moveable nature lends itself to be a useful addition to any store. 

Call Shelving4Shops on 01455 221512 to discuss your needs for extra space, with one of our experienced staff.

Inspiration

Are your shelves just holding your goods, or are they displaying them in an imaginative and attractive way? You can tell when someone totally believes in what they are selling by the way that they are displayed. Some shelves are mundane, and to be quite honest, totally boring, whilst others show an original use of space and structure, and goods are displayed both attractively and helpfully. There is an understanding of the customer’s needs, as well as the importance of good design, in the display. 
To captivate your customer’s interest, don’t be afraid of experimenting with your displays. If your experiments work, keep using your approach, and if not then simply try something different. 
The shelving that Shelving4Shops offers is incredibly versatile, so it can be adapted to suit your needs, and it lends itself to many different styles when you are trying out different approaches. 
The shelving is suitable for a wide range of businesses, from hairdressers to toy shops, grocery stores to pet shops. You name it and we can offer the ideal solution to your business’ needs.
We maximise on the need for simplicity and functionality, but also appreciate that customers want to enjoy their shopping experience. Whether you are looking to refurbish your store, set out an entirely new layout, or just add to your present system, our wide range of budget-friendly equipment can meet your needs.
We also carry a stock of used shelving, which means that if you are on a tight budget we can help by either supplying the shelving or buying your old equipment. As our experienced team remove shelving from large supermarkets as well as smaller units, we often have a wide variety of equipment available - however, it does mean that demand is dependent on supply. 
Because we normally have a good supply of used shelving in storage we can do things quickly, meaning that there is minimal disruption to your store’s routine. 
To find out more about both our used and new shelving, give Shelving4Shops a call on 01455 221512.

Is your shelving a liability or an asset?

Nobody wants their shelving to let them down - apart from the sheer inconvenience of the matter, it could be costly. If faulty shelving falls off the wall, or collapses because it is overloaded or badly loaded, it may damage stock and could injure a customer or employee.

Shelving that is not designed for the goods it carries is a potential hazard, and in terms of loss of stock or litigation it can be a unwise way of trying to save money. It's a false economy to try to cut cost at the expense of safety, and it's therefore essential to replace damaged or faulty shelving as soon as possible, with appropriate equipment designed to withstand the load.  

Shelving4Shops has many different kinds of shelving, and whatever you need we can help you to find the right kind for your requirements.  

Our shop racking is made of heavy-duty, powder-coated steel. The parts are interchangeable, which means you have great versatility as you can configure the shelving to suit your needs. The units are standalone units, which gives you peace of mind that they are not going to part company with the wall!  

The robust nature of the shelving makes it ideal to display a variety of goods, whilst the range of shelving gives a wide scope of usage, designed to fit any available space.

Ease of use is another major consideration, as dirty shelving is not an attractive proposition when the discerning customer wants to search for what they want. Our shelving is easy to clean and requires little maintenance.

If you are unsure as to which kind of shelving will best suit your needs, give us a call on 01455 2215 and we will be happy to advise you and give you an instant quote. Alternatively, visit our showrooms in Wolvey, Leicestershire, LE10 3JG and see for yourself the extensive range that we offer.

Supermarket shelving


The better weather often tempts people to spend time on outdoor pursuits, DIY projects, children’s entertainment for the holidays, or sometimes it's simply a good opportunity to update their own homes.  Whatever their needs, you will want to maximise on the opportunity for increased trade by ensuing that your goods are attractively displayed and easy to find. By grouping products according to type, you will simplify your customers' searching - but of course, to do this, you need shelving, dump bins, ticket strips and all the other things that make your customers' and staff's lives easier. 

Our range of gondola supermarket shelving is especially versatile for creating aisles and maximum stocking space, whilst wall-to-wall shelving will use all your available wall space. 

Gondola shelving is a free standing unit with shelving on both sides. It comes in a wide variety of sizes, which will accommodate just about all of your needs, and can be adjusted to suit any purpose.  

For the less permanent and seasonal displays, dump bins or wire stacking baskets placed in strategic places will attract customers’ attention. Think creatively, and think colour! Even the more mundane goods can be made more appealing by using colour resourcefully. Placing this sort of display at or near the checkout area means customers can continue browsing as they wait to pay.

Over fifteen years of helping customers to find the right sort of shelving for their business has given us valuable experience, as well as the ability to help you find the appropriate storage solutions for your business as you attempt to meet the changing demands of customers.  

Give Shelving4Shops a call on 01455 221512 to discuss your needs further, or call in to see the range of what we offer at our showrooms in Hinckley Road, Wolvey, Leicestershire, LE10 3JG.

Get organised!


While just about everyone wants a clean, tidy workplace or store, sometimes life gets out of control and mess just seems to happen. Customers arrive en masse, and what was relatively orderly descends into chaos. If they've had to search for the things they want, it isn’t difficult to see why they leave a disorderly pile of goods behind them - or sometimes not even a pile, but rather goods scattered on the floor! That doesn’t do much to encourage the next customer to browse or to get a good feeling about their needs.  

Although it can be difficult to eliminate mess left behind by overzealous customers, organised and tidy shelving can mean that there is less need to sift through piles of goods to find the necessary item.  
Our wall shelving can be put together to create a long run of space, where goods can be attractively and easily displayed, making it easy for the customer to find what they are looking for. Each shelf can be configured to your exact needs, whether the challenge is height, width, or depth.  



One particular area that can become quickly untidy is the magazine display.  Customers leafing through the available journals and magazines can leave damaged goods in their wake if they can't replace them easily. Our magazine shelving makes life much easier as, once again, it's adjustable to meet your requirements. Eight angled tiers will make an ideal display for newspapers or magazines. This wall shelving can be supplied in three different heights, and can be joined together to create a well-organised run of goods. A wider base shelf, which can be adjusted in size, creates an ideal space for stacking the more unwieldy newspapers.  

Although mess happens, it can be minimised by creating well-organised shelving facilities. It makes life easier for your staff, who can easily and quickly replace and reorganise the goods, and for your customers, who will be able to find the goods they want without creating quite so much confusion!

Give Shelving4Shops a call on 01455 221512 to find out how we can help you to create order out of chaos.

A new start


Setting up a successful and efficiently run store is not a walk in the park, whether it is a re-fit or starting from scratch. For it to operate smoothly, it has to be well-thought-out and well equipped. 

Quite apart from the finance is the floor plan, which unless given plenty of consideration can lead to a major fiasco. To avoid this, part of the success will hinge on the right equipment.

If a store has not been purpose-built in the first place, it may well be an odd shape, but even if it's been planned from the beginning there often seems to be odd nooks and crannies, which unless carefully utilised will be a waste of space. Space equals income, when it is used well.  

Maximising your store's potential is where Shelving4Shops can help.  Shelving4Shops is aware of the need for a good flow, to enable your customers to appreciate the full extent of your merchandise, and we can help you create it with the range of cabinets and shelving that we offer.  

Buying used shelving can help your cash flow, although it does depend on what is available at the time you require it. However, because Shelving4Shops deals directly with the suppliers, we pass on considerable savings to our customers, making refits or new projects a more realistic and competitive opportunity. Our large stocks also mean that you can achieve a speedy turnaround if you are refitting.  
Because we have had many years of experience, we can advise as well as supply your project, so if you would like to talk through your requirements we will be happy to help you.  Give Shelving4Shops a call on 01455 221512 or call in at our showrooms at Wolvey, Leicestershire, LE10 3JG.

Make a great impression with our pegboard shelving


Whether your available space is large or small, often the challenge is to find a truly versatile system that is cost effective as well as easy to use for the customer and your staff - and versatility is one of the key advantages of pegboard shelving. Adding shelves or extra hooks is simple, and will accommodate a changing display, keeping up with changing demand and products. 
Pegs and hooks can be re-organised, taken away or added at any time, enabling you to have a display that can adapt to whatever you're supplying. 
It doesn’t have to be just a practical expression of necessity - it can also be an attractive display, showing artwork or colour pictures and photos when you want to demonstrate something relevant to your product. The element of surprise is always a good seller, and by arranging your pegboarding with some sort of visual impact, customers will take extra notice of the things that you are selling. You can use colour or shape in an innovative way, whatever the product.
One of the advantages of pegboard is that it allows you to see a wide range of goods at once, meaning that customers can easily make comparisons. They can quickly see difference in size and colour, without having to spend a lot of time picking up different products to examine them. Customer convenience is always a major consideration.
Shelving4Shops supply pegboard wall shelving, and gondolas as well as end bays, meaning that whatever the need and wherever you want to put your pegboarding we have the ideal unit to meet your requirements. 
Give Shelving4Shops a call on 01455 221512 to discuss your pegboarding needs, or call in at our showroom at Hinckley Road, Wolvey, Leics where we can show you the range of shelving that we offer.
