First Impressions

There’s no way about it, first impressions matter!

In a store, this is more important than ever in clinching those sales. People walking into your store for the first time can take a bit of time to orient themselves and ‘get used’ to your store. Therefore, what you put at the entrance to your store matters a great deal. 

Make the most of this space. It's a fantastic opportunity to grab customers attention and lure them in! You don't want the entrance to look cluttered, so an effective use of shelving to display products means customers can really feel comfortable browsing. It's a great place to put offers, to really entice people in, so again display is very important here. 

Our peg boards are a great way of experimenting with products at varying heights, creating a visually stimulating display. Sometimes products just don't sit well on shelves, due to their size or shape, which is where peg boards come in. You can more effectively showcase products in a different manner, allowing for demonstration of the product to its original capabilities. Peg boards also allow for display flexibility. 

The shop entrance has the highest footfall in your entire shop, it's definitely worth making the most of. Make sure you grab the person's attention and display your products as effectively as possible!

Peg Boards

No matter how hard you try, sometimes you just can’t get a certain product to sit well on a shelf. This isn’t the shelf’s fault, it’s most likely the design and shape of the product. Not every product is designed with a shelf in mind. Some products just hang a lot happier on a peg board.

Peg board’s are a great way of varying your shop display. They give you a chance to experiment with different heights and levels, effectively showcasing products in a different manner. Products that are designed to hang can be displayed more effectively with the use of peg boards, and demonstrate the product to its original capabilities. 

If you find that the peg board display needs ’shaking up’ a little, then it’s as simple as anything to move some of the pegs around to better display certain products. If you find that there’s an empty space where a product has sold well, then it’s quick and simple to move another peg and product to that empty space on the board. It may also be a lot safer to showcase certain products on a peg board than it would be if they were placed on a shelf, mugs for instance. Shelves tend to have an extremely smooth and slippery surface, and mugs are practically designed to be hung on a peg board. 

Peg boards can provide you with plenty of versatility for your merchandise and shop floor layout and configuration. However, it’s important to remember that it’s not about seeing how many pegs and stock you can fit on one unit. Peg boards encourage you to diversify your displays, and allow you to create an easy and efficient customer shopping experience. 

Versatile Pegboard Shop Shelving

Pegboard shelving is a versatile retail shelving option for all sized stores, offering many different ways of displaying a variety of products. Pegboard backing can be applied to wall shelving, gondola shelving, and end bays to maximise space in a store, displaying large or small items on a range of accessories, including:

• Pegboard hooks
• Pegboard shelves
• Pegboard signs and displays

There are hooks and shelves to suit any product, with durable options for heavier items - the beauty of a pegboard display is how easy it is to change it according to your needs. With so much space and so many different configurations available, simply rearrange your shelves and hooks whenever you need to. When used in conjunction with a wall shelving unit or gondola, you also have the benefit of a large sturdy base shelf on which you can display larger items or stacked products.

Pegboard shelving is popular in pet stores, hardware stores, convenience stores, clothing stores, petrol stations and many other retail outlets looking for a cost-effective choice of shop shelving. Combine pegboard shelving with gondola shelving, wall shelving and temporary shelving like dump bins and wire stacking baskets to maximise the space you have available and boost sales! 


Visit our website to find out more about any of the items above and to browse our huge range of new shop shelving and accessories, including:

• ·     Gondola shelving - A popular choice in many stores due to its versatility and functionality, gondola shelving is a staple shelving option for stores of any size. You can use this shelving to create aisles within your store and the range of heights and widths we stock mean that we have the shelving size for you.
  ·     Wall shelving - Use wall shelving around the edge of your store to provide plenty of shelving space while optimising the floor space you have available.
  ·     Shopping baskets - By having stacks of baskets at the front of the store and dotted around the aisles you will encourage customers to purchase more items as it is easier to carry them in a basket than with their hands.
  ·     Wire stacking baskets - These are an excellent way to display sale and impulse purchase items in your store. As these are freestanding they can be used to fill empty spaces and can be easily moved to create new interesting displays.
  ·     Corner shelving - Utilise every inch of floor space you have in your store by using specialist corner shelving to bring life back into an overlooked corner.
  ·     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.
