Did you know that as well as a huge range of shop shelving, we also stock shop counters at Shelving4Shops? We want to make it easy for shop owners to organise their store refit or refurbishment and find everything they need under one roof, so we offer a great range of shop fittings and accessories in addition to gondola shelving, wall shelving, peg board shelving and other styles of shelving!
One of the most important aspects of designing a store is the position of your shop counter. Think about it: you need your counter to be placed so that you can welcome customers, view your store, move around your shop easily, create an efficient queuing space - not to mention choosing a counter that is large enough and durable enough to withstand the daily traffic in your store!
If you need help planning your store, get in touch with us at Shelving4Shops or visit us at our Leicestershire showroom and talk to one of our experts. We're happy to take the time to sit down with a cuppa and work through the best way to organise your store to make it efficient for your customers and staff, and cost-effective for your budget! Too often we've seen store owners concentrate on their shop shelving and completely forget about their shop counter, so it's essential to work your counter space into your initial plans rather than shoe-horning it in as an afterthought! Remember, it's where you're going to spend most of your time, so you need to make it a practical, comfortable, and efficient space.
· Gondola shelving - Many stores choose to use gondola shelving due to its versatility and the range of widths and heights that we stock mean that it is perfect for every store. This shelving can be used to create aisles throughout your store and provide ample display room.
· Wall shelving - If you have a lot of wall space then wall shelving is an excellent way to maximise the floor space you have available. We have a range of heights and widths available to ensure you can find the perfect fit for your store.
· Shopping baskets - Placing stacks of baskets at the front of your store makes it easier for customers to carry more items. It can also help to have stacks of baskets around the store to encourage customers to pick up more items than they originally intended.
· Wire stacking baskets - Using wire stacking baskets can be a great way to fill that empty space in the corner or that open floor space you have that is too small for a full bay of shelving. The versatility of these baskets make them a great addition to any store and can be moved regularly to draw customers eyes to new displays.
· Corner shelving - The design of classic straight shelving means that often a corner is left empty or block off. The simple addition of a corner shelving unit can open up that corner and provide extra display space for products.
· Peg board shelving and pegs - Not all products that are stocked will sit well on traditional flat shelving, pegboard shelving is an excellent alternative that can, with the simple addition of hooks, easily display hanging items.
We can also advise you on our great range of shop shelving accessories, including shelf risers and dividers, Epos ticket strips, dump bins and shopping baskets. Visit us online or drop by our showroom in Wolvey near Leicester.
Christmas is coming! The next few months are always a busy time for retailers but you can make the most of the holiday period by thinking carefully about your shop shelving configuration and the way you display your goods. You could really boost your Christmas sales with a few small changes to your store!
One of the easiest ways to improve the efficiency of your store is by filling all the awkward empty spaces with extra shelving like dump bins and stacking wire baskets. These lightweight temporary shelving accessories make the very best of your store space and maximise the number of products you can display. Line up dump bins by your counter to create a handy queuing area with plenty of room for stocking promotional and seasonal items. Stacking wire baskets are perfect for fresh produce or products that are difficult to stack on a standard shelf.
For wall shelving and gondola shelving, little additions can make a big difference to the efficiency of your store, such as end bays, corner shelving units and promotional bays to cap off each run. These provide extra shelving space with a big impact, especially when they face the front doors and will be the first thing visitors see.
Getting some new signage and Epos strips is an easy and cheap way of sprucing up your store in time for Christmas, along with some festive decorations and a bit of tinsel! And don't forget shelving and shop shelving accessories like coloured shopping baskets to make your store as inviting and easy-to-use as possible.
· Gondola shelving - This is one of the most popular shelving choices we offer, it is a highly versatile option that can be used to create aisles throughout your store or can be used in conjunction with other shelving units we offer to create one seamless shelving unit throughout your store.
· 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.
