The Versatility Of The Wire Basket!

In the world of retail, there are so many options of how to display your products that it's easy to feel overwhelmed with it all when it comes down to actually having to choose. One of the main things to bear in mind is to maximise the use of space and make sure your store doesn't look cluttered. 

If you have lots of loose items that need to go somewhere together without spilling out onto other product space, wire baskets are a great way to go. Coming in either three tier or five tier, the wire basket units are ideal for items such as single crisp packets, fruit and veg or loose toys such as balls. They are great for display, presenting the customer with an easy, eye-catching view of the product, whilst keeping the items neatly gathered together. The unit is lightweight and easily moved, making them great for temporary or window displays. The stack is a simple way to use different heights to create interest at different levels, which is a great way to attract customer attention whilst saving space! 

If you want just the baskets and have space to play with, our wire stackable baskets are another great way of keeping looser items together yet well displayed. These baskets come as individual units, but can be stacked on top of each other or used on existing shelves as a way of keeping the shelf tidy. They are great to use along the queue area to encourage impulse buys while customers are waiting. They are very versatile and are perfect for placing end of line products, promotions or sales items. Great for fruit and veg, special offers or for placing at the end of gondola units to promote that special product.

Supermarket Shelving

Here at Shelving4Shops, we’re proud to offer a wide variety of shelving suitable for supermarket use. Our aim is to help store owners ensure that they make the most out of what space they have available. We’re here to help, and we want to make sure that your store is organised to its best capabilities and make it as productive as possible for yourself, and for your customers. We have a range of shelving suitable for supermarket stores, which include wall shelving, gondola shelving and other numerous productive configurations to help you create the right display layout suitable for your requirements. 

We understand that when catering for supermarket shelving, you need to take into consideration the display requirements for a whole variety of products, and help establish the most effective layout for your customers, and for your store as a whole.

Many people see shelving as a storage or display solution, this is true to some extent, however shelves can also help establish a successful store layout, to best suit you, your store and your customers. Our freestanding gondola units have the ability to create aisles within a supermarket. This helps encourage efficient customer traffic flow, and helps to establish a successful shopping experience for your customers. It’s not just our freestanding gondola units that are suitable for supermarkets. We also stock a variety of other shelving units, including wall shelving, end bays, corner bays and pegboard shelving to help maximise your shop floors space. 

If you’re on a small budget, or perhaps you’re just looking for a quick and simple refit, we also stock a selection of used supermarket shelving to help you keep your costs down. For more information, please don’t hesitate to contact us, or visit our shelving showroom located in Leicestershire. 

Using Gondola Shelving to Create Displays and Promotions

Gondola shelving is a great way to create displays for your store, whether you have seasonal stock, promotional items or end-of-line products you're hoping to shift quickly. Gondolas can be used in various ways to display and organise your stock, and gondola end bays are the perfect way to highlight certain products in a prominent position in your store.

Gondola shelving is a popular choice for stores of all sizes, and offers a versatile method of displaying your stock at different heights. Gondola shelves are adjustable so you can make the space between each shelf as large or as small as you need to, enabling you to stock a number of different items on the same unit. Gondola shelves can also tilt for displaying certain items - this can be great to encourage customers to grab a spontaneous buy as they pass, or for stocking magazines, paper goods, fresh produce and more.

It's always a good idea to organise your shelves using shelf risers and dividers so that different products stay separate and can be stacked neatly. Experiment with vertical and horizontal stacking to see which looks more aesthetically pleasing, and consider adding baskets or storage boxes to shelves for an attractive appearance and a neat method of organisation.

Epos ticket strips, pricing and signage need to be neat and preferably colour coordinated to help customers find what they need easily and quickly. Draw attention to special offers and promotions with bright signs and posters - gondola end bays are a great place to put special offers so that they're easily accessible.

Our gondola shelving comes in four heights : 1.4m, 1.6m, 1.8m and 2.1m, and in a choice of different depths ranging from 300mm and 570mm to suit your shop space, with low and high end bays to match. 

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

· 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.
