How to Assemble Wall Shelving

When you've chosen the right kind of retail shelving, supermarket shelving or shop shelving for your store, you can either collect it from our warehouse or we can deliver it to you. Then all that's left is to assemble your shelving units! We will provide you with the instructions you need to do this, but we can also assist you with putting your shelving together if you need a little help.

Here are the basics to assembling wall shelving units:

1. Clear your space and make sure that the floor and walls are clean.

2. Lay out your equipment and tools to ensure you have everything you need to get started.

3. Fit the foot of the shelving unit to the vertical posts, using a rubber mallet to ensure that they are fitted together securely and are level.

4. Using a spanner, unwind the levellers on each foot so that they are equal and level. You can then readjust them once you have your unit in place to compensate for uneven floors or other variables.

5. Insert the first back panel in between the posts - you may need a second pair of hands to help you with this step - and ensure the 'teeth' at the bottom of the back panel fit correctly into the posts.

6. Continue to add the rest of the back panels until they reach the top of the unit. Use a spirit level to ensure each panel is straight as you go.

7. Fit the base plinth at the bottom of the unit, at the front of the feet.

8. Now you can start to add your shelves, slotting the brackets into the slots on the posts at equal heights each side. You can also angle the shelf to display certain products like paper goods.

9. Add Epos ticket strips to the front of each shelf so that you can easily add product information and pricing.

10. Your wall shelving unit is complete! You can now connect it to other units to form a run or add an end bay to finish off your shelving neatly.

  

At Shelving4shops we stock a full range of new shop shelving now available in cream, black and grey:

- Wall Shelving - A great way to optimise the floor space you have available in your store, this shelving allows you to have plenty of shelving space while still being able to have decently sized aisles to allow customers to easily walk around your store.

- Low Gondolas - In smaller stores, using low gondolas to create aisles gives you ample display space while allowing you to have a good unobstructed view throughout your entire store.

- High Gondolas - In larger stores, these can be used to create aisles throughout your store, in smaller stores use high gondolas around the perimeter of the store or to create aisles.

- Magazine Units - The biggest selling point of a magazine for many is the front cover, by using magazine units you can clearly show the cover to passing customers. These units can be used for any paper goods where part of the selling point is the front, like greeting cards.

- Shelves and Accessories - Customise your shelving with our full range of accessories, using risers and EPOS strips are a quick way to ensure the optimum display for your items.

- Low End Bays - End bays are an excellent way to display sale items and to encourage impulse purchase items for customers. It is now quite common for stores to place offers at the end of aisles as this is one of the places in the store that receives the most foot traffic.

- High End Bays, - End bays are an excellent way to display sale items and to encourage impulse purchase items for customers. It is now quite common for stores to place offers at the end of aisles as this is one of the places in the store that receives the most foot traffic.

- Corner Shelving - Utilise that dead corner space in your store with corner shelving, often this space goes unused by traditional shelving.

- Peg Board Wall Shelving - Not all items work well being displayed on a flat shelf, using pegboards gives you the versatility of having hooks to hang items on as well as the option to attach shelving when you do not have many hanging items.

- Peg Board Gondola Shelving - Not all items work well being displayed on a flat shelf, using pegboards gives you the versatility of having hooks to hang items on as well as the option to attach shelving when you do not have many hanging items.

- Peg Board Ends - Use the end of your asiles to display sale items or promotional items and encourage impulse purchases before the customer reaches the checkout.

Shop Shelving Display Tips to Boost Sales

Use your shop shelving and displays to boost sales! The way your shop is laid out makes a huge difference to how well certain products sell - customers are influenced by the layout and displays within your store and the way you arrange your shop shelving can encourage more impulse buys and increased interest in carefully displayed products.

Visual merchandising and the positioning of your retail shelving drives traffic around your store, directing them to the products they want (and the products they didn't realise they wanted until right that moment!) so it's important to take some time to effectively market your products. 

First of all, your shop should be clean, tidy and easy to navigate - provide customers with as much space to move between aisles as possible, including those who are in wheelchairs or pushing buggies and pushchairs. Narrow aisles and difficulty moving around a store can be a real turn-off for customers. Keep your shelving well stocked and presented in an aesthetically pleasing way, ensuring that any signage is clear, accurate and relevant. Place complementary items together to make it even easier for customers to find what they need and encourage 'add on' sales.

First impressions count, so make sure that promotional product displays are in clear view as soon as a customer enters the store. Other promotional offers and seasonal products can be displayed on shop shelving that can be seen through the front window or on end bays at the ends of aisles. Make use of awkward areas and corners by placing impulse buys on corner bays and in dump bins so that no space is wasted.

For help with planning your store layout to maximise efficiency and sales, get in touch with us at Shelving4Shops where we stock a huge range of new and used shop shelving, including:

• Gondola shelving - A classic choice in many stores, gondola shelving is a truly versatile shelving option, we offer 4 heights and 4 widths to ensure you can find the correct size shelving for your store.
• Wall shelving - Use wall shelving to save space and utilise that back wall, this shelving sits against the wall optimising the floor space you have available and allowing you to have aisles that accommodate pushchairs and trolleys.
• Promotional end bays - The best place to put sale items is in the direct eye line of customers, not all customers are going to walk up every aisle but they will walk past the end of them to reach other sections of the store or to get to the checkout. Utilise this prime space in your store by putting sale/promotional items in end bays and use clear signage to highlight these great savings.
• Corner shelving bays - Corners are often a dead space in many stores that use classic shelving but the simple addition of corner shelving can open up that forgotten space and optimise the floor space you have.
• Magazine shelving - One of the biggest selling points of magazines are the front covers, by using magazine shelving you can clearly see the front cover and attract customers. These units can also be used to sell other paper goods where it is important to be able to see the front, like greeting cards.
• Retail shelving - Displaying retail items and making them easily accessible to customers is the making or breaking point of many stores, customers will not wait around for staff to find items for them.
• Supermarket shelving - Similar to retail shelving, customers want to be able to walk into a store with a list, grab all the items and leave. They will not wait around for someone to walk by and then wait for them to get items for them. Having items clearly displayed and easily accessible is vital in any store.
• Pegboard shelving - Some items do not work well on a flat shelf, pegboard shelving allows you to hang items allowing them to be viewed better. If you no longer need hanging space, shelves can be fixed to pegboard shelving to ensure you always have the best display options for your store.
• Dump bins and wire baskets - Using dump bins and wire baskets around the store are a great way to encourage impulse purchases or to promote sale items. This style of display can utilise a dead space of the store or can be used to create a section near the checkout so people know where to queue. 
• Shelving accessories - Customise your shelves to your store, from coloured EPOS strips to shelf dividers you can take any shelving and make it work perfectly for your store.

New Stock: Vegetable Rack Displays

Shelving4Shops has just added another product to its ever-expanding stock range of shop shelving and shop fittings. Vegetable racks are a great way of displaying fruit and veg in an attractive way, without needing to use the more common method of tilting shelves. This great display technique frees up vital retail space, allowing you to maximise your existing shelving and display more products, helping to increase profits.
Vegetable stands can be placed inside or outside convenience stores, and provide an attractive display area at the front of any shop which may encourage customers to come in and browse your fresh produce. These compact stands are a great addition to our retail shelving and wire basket range. Other products in a similar style include:

• Wire dump bins: Dump bins are a great addition to any retail store, filling up awkward spaces and providing a place to display end-of-line products and odd-shaped goods without taking up shelf space.
• Wire stacking baskets: These baskets are designed to sit directly onto a shelf or be stacked against a wall, or at the end of a gondola run. Common uses for wire stacking baskets include displaying crisps, fruit and vegetables, hardware products and impulse buys.
• Wire shelf risers: Risers are a great way to display confectionery like sweets and biscuits, or any goods that require tilting shelves.

Alongside these new products we have our existing stock of quality shelving which we now offer in cream, black and grey:

- Wall Shelving,

- Low Gondolas,

- High Gondolas,

- Magazine Units,

Supermarket Shelving

Whether you are in need of supermarket shelving or shop fittings you have come to the right place! Shelving4Shops supplies a wide range of retail shelving, convenience store shelving, and supermarket shelving products, including:

• Wire stacking baskets - An excellent way to encourage impulse purchases or to display items that would not sit well on a traditional flat shelf.
• Crisp basket displays - Crisps are many peoples go to impulse purchase, by making them accessible and having displays dotted around your store people are more likely to grab this post-shopping snack.
• Wire dump bins - A similar premise to stacking baskets, load these with affordable impulse purchase items and have them spread across the store. Alternatively, use these to create a queuing section leading up to your checkout and encourage last-minute purchases close to the till.
• Epos ticket strips - These are a great way to clearly display product information to customers and make it quick and easy for customers to see the price. If a customer is unsure of the product information they are likely to simply walk away losing you a sale.
• Supermarket trolleys - Add an easy way to encourage shoppers to pick up more items, if you have great deals on heavy items customers with a trolley are likely to impulsively buy them. If they were forced to carry heavy items around the store they are not going to pick them up or purchase as many items.
• Shelving components - Use shelving components to customise your shelving to suit you and your storage needs.
• Wire shelf risers - Ensure that products do not end up falling off the shelf or mixing with the product next to it by using shelf risers. These subtle wire risers can be easily installed and can save you hours separating products and ensures customers can easily access items. By diving shelves, this ensures that the product information displayed at the front of the shelf is accurate to the products directly behind them and avoids confusing customers.
• Vegetable and fruit displays - Many stores now sell fresh produce as it is an item customer need to repurchase frequently due to its short shelf life. Fruit and vegetables are a product that consumers like to pick up and visually inspect before purchase so it is important to use a display system that caters to this. Using baskets ensures that all the produce will not fall to the floor once one has been taken and ensures that when customers place products back the rest will not be damaged.
• Gondola shelving units - A classic shelving option in many stores, gondola shelving is highly versatile and comes in a wide range of heights and widths so you can find the perfect match for your store. 
• Magazine shelving units - The best way to display magazines is upright so customers can quickly and easily see the front cover which is often what draws them in. These units can be used for any paper goods where it is important to the sale to see the front, e.g. greeting cards.
• Corner shelving systems - Make sure you utilise every inch of your store by placing corner shelving units in those unused corners of your store. These can be a great place to put promotional products.
• Wall shelving bays - If you are limited on space using wall shelving bays ensure you can use your floor space to create aisles and allow shoppers to easily navigate through your store.
• Supermarket shopping baskets - Similar to shopping trolleys baskets encourage shoppers to pick up more items without having to worry about how you are going to carry them. Placing them by the entraceway aw well as dotting stacks around larger stores mean that they are easily accessable and encourage shoppers to pick them up.

We now offer much of our range of shelving in cream, black and grey to ensure you can find the right fit for your store!

Shelving4Shops' customer base spans a range of stores with individual and varying requirements, such as high volume shop fitting companies who need large accessible stocks of shelving and fixtures and a fast turn around. We also serve smaller independent retailers who need the odd shelf or two to finish of an awkwardly shaped corner or empty wall - we are always able to supply the right kind of shop fittings to our customers, big or small.

We hold large stocks of shelving in our Midlands-based warehouse and are able to offer collection and next-day delivery on most of our retail fixtures. And with a shelving showroom on-site it makes it that little bit easier for you to see and chose the right product for your shop. We can also help with planning your retail store, from designing the best layout, to maximising floor space without overcrowding or hindering foot traffic.
