The Secrets of Successful Shop Shelving

Running a successful store is all about your customer experience and the efficiency of your shop layout and shelving. Shelving 4 Shops has over 15 years' experience in the retail shelving industry and we're here to help you find the best configuration of shop shelving for your individual requirements. That includes wall shelving, gondola shelving, pegboard shelving, shelving accessories, shop counters and shopping baskets!

But the secret of successful shop shelving really comes down to creating a welcoming atmosphere and an easy layout to your store. Here are a few tips on making your retail shelving work for you to boost sales and improve customer satisfaction:

• Categorise and organise your shelving well - make it easy for customers to find different products and related items;
• Use shopping baskets to encourage customers to pick up more or heavier items.
• Keep your store bright, clean and inviting;
• Make your store design inspiring and consistent - use colour schemes and promotional material to tie it all together;
• Adjust your shelving to suit your products - change the height, backing and angle of shelves according to the items you need to display;
• Vary your shelving with gondola shelving, wall shelving, peg board shelving, magazine racking, dump bins and wire stacking baskets;
• Create a personalised experience for customers - really get to know what your customers want and anticipate their needs;
• Broaden your stock and text out new products to see how they perform;
• Stay friendly and cheerful! Customers always have a better experience when staff are welcoming and polite.

You can find everything you will need to ensure have the perfect shelving for your store at Shelving4Shops. We hold large quantities of used and new shop shelving and accessories, including:

· Gondola shelving - A highly popular item in many stores, gondola shelving is highly versatile and can be used to create aisles throughout your store and can be used in conjunction with other bay units to create seamless shelving displays.

· Peg board shelving and pegs - For some products, a classic flat shelf is not the best way to display them. Some products work better if they are hung on hooks which is where pegboard shelving comes into its element. All of our bays can be slotted together to ensure a seamless shelving display.

· 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 - A simple trick utilised by many stores is adding baskets throughout the store. This 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.
