Maintaining Your Shop Shelving

The maintenance of your store is just as important as the original fit out. Keeping your shelving neat and tidy and clean is an essential part of running your retail operation and ensures that your customers have a great first impression of your shop. Once you've chosen and fitted your shop shelving - from gondola shelving to wall shelving, dump bins to magazine racking - your next port of call is to purchase a range of shop shelving accessories that will keep your store looking great.

Shelving accessories include shelf risers and dividers, Epos ticket strips, spare shelves, end finisher legs, dump bins, wire stacking baskets, shopping baskets and any other product that helps your daily operations go smoothly. All these items offer a cost-effective way of maintaining your shop and organise your products for easy browsing. Sometimes time is limited when you're trying to run a busy shop, and maintenance might be low on your to-do list but it's important to make regular cleaning and tidying a part of your daily and weekly routine. 

Here are a few things you should have on your maintenance checklist for your store:

• Replacing cracked and faded Epos strips
• Neatening products in individual shelves 
• Sweeping under and around shelving
• Dusting and wiping down shelves 
• Checking lighting and electrical goods
• Cleaning and checking refrigerated units
• Stacking shelves and organising products
• Changing window displays and end bays
• Restocking dump bins with promotional or end-of-line products
• Posting up special offer signs and posters
• Neatening and cleaning your shop counter
• Ensuring aisles are clear and easy to move around (especially for wheelchairs and pushchairs)
• Checking the condition (and smell!) of fresh products

Keeping a tidy and fresh store makes a great impression on customers and is an important part of running a store. If you find it hard to maintain your store, you might need to think about reorganising your shelving configuration.

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

· 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.

Retailers Need to Maximise Customer Experience to Survive

According to retail director at Google UK Peter Fitzgerald, retailers need to put customers first and make sure products and services are available whenever they need them. Going the extra mile for your consumers helps to improve customer experience and encourages sales, allowing your business to stay afloat in this challenging financial climate.

Does your business have a website? Are there products in your stock that you could make available to buy online? Perhaps you could offer a 'click and collect' service for local customers so they can make purchases online and collect from your store at a time that's convenient? 72% of UK customers own a smartphone and 50% use a mobile device to make purchases, so it's useful - if not essential - for at least your business details to be online. 

Following the recession, the retail industry has made slow and difficult progress and anyway that improves your business should be grabbed with both hands - in this case, making your customer experience as good as it can be. This doesn't just mean being online for web customers, it means providing excellent customer service in store, a well-presented shop with neat and tidy retail shelving, an easy layout to your store for convenient browsing, and staff who go above and beyond to make customers happy. 

There are several ways of using your shop layout and shelving to maximise sales, too, such as:

• Positioning popular and higher priced items at eye-level
• Keeping shelving neat and ordered using accessories to help
• Grouping similar items together to promote cross-purchases
• Placing dump bins and wire stacking baskets in spare areas to increase the amount of products on display
• Organising promotional end bays and seasonal displays
• Keeping your window display fresh and interesting
• Utilising all available shelving space such as with peg board shelving
• Creating a user-friendly 'flow' to your shop traffic using gondola shelving runs
• Adding fill-in products so that customers can find everything they need from your store

We have our full range of new shop shelving and accessories available online at Shelving4Shops including:

·     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.

Maximising your customer satisfaction is the main factor in keeping your sales healthy and ensuring that your store stays in business!

Supermarket shelving and shop racking

Shelving4Shops have been working with supermarkets for over 15 years, supplying and assembling retail shelving to retail stores of all sizes to maximise their shelving efficiency. Whether you run a 30,000 square foot supermarket, medium-sized cash and carry, or a small convenience store, you will need durable, versatile retail shelving and shop racking to display your range of products, and that's where we come in...

We help shop owners to make the very best of the space they have available, configuring shop shelving and accessories to boost sales and create effective foot traffic flow. Supermarkets use a range of shop shelving, from wall shelving runs to free-standing gondola units with double-sided shelving. Because there are so many types of products to stop it's important for shelving to adapt to different requirements and provide a long-lasting and user-friendly display.

Our supermarket shelving range is suitable for all types of goods and products, including:

·     Gondola shelving - This is a popular shelving choice in many stores, use gondola units to create aisles throughout your store or use them in conjunction with other units we offer to create seamless shelving 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 - Placing baskets at the front and around your store is a great way to encourage customers to purchase more items as baskets make it easier for them to hold items.

·     Wire stacking baskets - These are an excellent way, like dump bins, 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.

·     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.

·     Magazine units - The perfect place to display newspapers, magazines, cards, books or any other paper goods. These units are designed to hold goods up to allow the front of the paper goods to be seen by customers walking past.

Gondola shelving units are one of the integral elements to any supermarket or convenience store since the dual-sided shelves provide natural aisles for customers to browse. By joining several gondola units together you can create 'runs', which can be finished with end bays to maximise shelving space. Along the walls, you can use standard wall shelving or peg board shelving to display a range of products, and corner bays make use of space that otherwise might be wasted.

Don't forget your shelving accessories, too! Epos ticket strips, dump bins, stacking wire baskets, shelf dividers and risers, shopping baskets and trolleys are all essential parts of fitting out your store. 

We can help you to plan, choose and assemble your supermarket shelving, just get in touch with us at our Shelving4Shops showroom in Leicester, by emailing sales@shelving4shops.co.uk or calling 01455 221512. Or shop our full range of shop shelving and accessories online at www.shelving4shops.co.uk.

Fitting out your retail store with shop shelving and accessories

When you're fitting out a new retail store or undergoing a complete refit, it's important to choose the right shop shelving units to suit your products and ensure that you have planned out the best configuration for your shelving displays. At Shelving4Shops we have over 15 years' experience in the shelving and retail industry and are here to help you put together the best possible shop floor plan before you get started with your fit out. It's true what they say - good planning saves you time and expense in the long run.

First we suggest making an accurate plan of your floor space, marking any doors, windows, electrical sockets and existing shelving onto your drawing. If you bring this plan to us at our Midlands showroom we can sit down and take some time to talk you through the different shelving options available and work out the best way to make the best of your shop space. 

While you're here you can browse our huge range of retail shelving units and accessories, including wall shelving, gondola shelving, end bays, corner shelving units, peg board shelving, dump bins, counters, shopping baskets and all the little extras like shelf risers and Epos ticket strips.

Similarly, collapsible dump bins can be used behind the scenes or in store to fill awkward areas and provide storage and display space for promotional, seasonal and end-of-line items.

Designing a Shelving Layout for Your Store

Designing the right shelving layout for your shop is the most important thing you can do when setting up or refitting a retail store. The way your shelving is configured will determine the direction of traffic through your store as well as determining how much stock you will be able to display. Remember that first impressions really do count, and having a well-thought-out store layout can make your shop appealing and effective for customers, resulting in more sales for you!

First, you'll need to take accurate measurements of your floor space, marking on your plan exactly where electrical outlets, alcoves, windows and doors are positioned. It can be worth making a few copies of this original plan so that you can try out different configurations. If you have an idea of where you want to place your counter and shop shelving, make a note of it or cut out paper templates of each element to see how best you can fit them in.

Next it's time to look at the types of retail shelving that will be most useful in your store. There are several main types of shelving to choose from, including:

• Wall shelving: This type of shop shelving is fitted up against your store's walls and can be joined to other units to form a run. Wall shelving is usually ended with a corner unit or end bay.

• Gondola shelving: Gondola shelving is one of the most popular types of retail shelving as it provides maximum shelving space on both sides of the unit. Gondola shelving can also create aisles in your store and guide traffic flow. 
• Pegboard shelving: Pegboard backing allows for shelves, pegs and hooks of different heights to be positioned according to the products you need to display. Perfect for hanging items and for when you need to stock a wide variety of different sized products.
• End bays and corner bays: These units finish off shelving runs and provide shelving to fit into corners. End bays are ideal for promotional, seasonal and spontaneous purchases while corner bays make use of awkward spaces.

Magazine Shelving 

• Magazine shelving and racking: If your store stocks paper goods such as cards, books, stationery, magazines and newspapers, magazine racks are the best choice to display these items. The angled shelves help customers to view and pick products while keeping your stock looking neat and tidy.
• Shop accessories and equipment: Don't forget all the little extras like dump bins, wire stacking baskets, counters and shopping baskets! These shelving accessories help to fill any unused spaces and maximise your display area.

Shopping Baskets and Shelving Accessories

Once you've decided on the type of retail shelving units you need, you can use the dimensions of each one to make a more detailed plan for your layout. If you need help working out the best use of your space, one of our shelving experts at Shelving4Shops will be happy to help, just get in touch. And once you have your shelving configuration finalised, it's time to shop! Whether you just need a few replacement shelving units, a whole new set of retail shelving, or want to save a bit of cash by opting for used shop shelving, our friendly, knowledgeable team at Shelving4Shops can assist you in finding the perfect shelving solution for your needs.

Save Cash on Your Retail Shelving

When fitting out a supermarket, convenience store or retail store with shelving, cost and budget are usually in the forefront of your mind. For business owners, finding shop shelving that is both durable and cost-effective can have a big impact on their overall budget and start-up costs. At Shelving4Shops, we help a huge range of stores to save cash and find the most efficient shelving options for their individual requirements.

So how can you save money on your retail shelving and racking? You have several options depending on the size of your store, the types of products you stock, and the style of shelving you need. The best thing to do is to pop into the Shelving4Shops showroom or give us a call on 01455 221512 to discuss your situation, and our shop shelving experts can help you to put together a plan of action. But for some instant help, here are a few suggestions on how to save cash on your shop shelving and accessories.

Plan Your Layout

Having a good shop shelving plan is integral to making sure you are making the most cost-effective choices on your shop fittings. If you're unsure about how to go about making a store plan, simply note down the dimensions of your space and email us or drop into the Shelving4Shops showroom so that we can help you to design your perfect store.

When planning your store, think about the positioning of refrigerated shelving units (which are generally placed at the back of the store), the space between shelving units (which should be wide enough for a wheelchair or pushchair to pass through), and the types of shop shelving you will need for different products. Once you have all these elements in place, you will be able to choose the best layout possible.

Choose Second Hand Shop Shelving

Second hand shop shelving can save you money on your store shelving and racking, and the used shop shelving we stock at Sheving4Shops is high quality and can be matched with existing shelving units. We are one of the top shelving removal specialists in the country and are able to offer a huge range of used shelving to help you keep under budget while fitting out your store. Our used shelving includes gondola shelving, wall shelving, pegboard shelving, end bays, magazine shelving, shop racking and accessories. Get in touch to find out what we currently have available.

Replace Individual Units and Update Existing Shelving

Sometimes it's more cost-effective to rearrange your existing units and only replace the shelving that really needs updating. This way you'll be able to find a brand new configuration for your store and save money on shelving units that didn't really need to be replaced. You can brighten up older shop shelving units with a good clean, some new Epos ticket strips and fresh signage. A few new shop shelving units can fill the gaps and make your store look brand new with minimum fuss and expense. We can match your existing shelving with appropriately sized units so that the switch is totally seamless!

Maximise Your Space and Buy Fewer Units

Think carefully about the width and size of your units and the cheapest way to fill your store space. For example, choosing wider shelving units may mean that you will need fewer in total. Once again, a good floor plan will help you here. Changing the way you organise your retail shelving can also help you to make the right choices about the units you choose. Would your gondola run work better in a different direction? Could you choose deeper shelves? What about refrigerated shelving? Consider the best use of your space and buy as few units as possible to save yourself some cash.

Choose High Quality Shop Shelving

Finally, choosing the best quality shelving you can afford will certainly save you money in the long run. It may mean more initial outlay but the durability and longevity of your shelving rely on the quality of the units. Your store's success lies with your shop shelving - poor quality shelves that need replacing or fail to hold their load will not only cause extra costs but will disrupt your store unnecessarily.

How to Make Your Store Inviting

Creating an inviting atmosphere in your store can really help to create repeat customers and impress every person who walks through your door. Simply having a clean, tidy and well-organised store can mean the first impression of your shop is positive rather than negative. Here are a few tips on making your store as inviting as possible:

• Good quality retail shelving: Choosing high-quality shelving for your store is essential if you want to keep your products well displayed and maximise the space you have available.
• Create a consistent look: Use signs, Epos ticket strips and promotional material to coordinate your shelving and your displays for a neat, consistent look. You can even colour-code different types of products or areas to help your customers find what they're looking for. Continuing this consistency on your posters, exterior signs and flyers really helps to create a cohesive brand for your store.
• Keep your shelves fully stocked: Well-stocked shelves make your store look efficient and neat, and means customers don't need to reach to the back of your shelving unit for what they want. Excess stock can be displayed above or below shelving units or kept out of sight in your storage area. Empty or sparse shelves make your store look run-down and may give the impression that your stock isn't fresh.
• Maintenance and lighting: Keeping every aspect of your store in good condition and well-lit will help your shop to look clean and tidy and in good working order. This includes everything from the state of your flooring, to the lighting overhead, to the condition of your ticket strips, to the cleanliness and neatness of your shop counter.
• Use shelving accessories to maximise space: Shelving accessories like dump bins, shelf risers and dividers all help to give your store a finished look and maximise any space that will not accommodate a full-sized shelving unit. Dump bins are a great way to display end of line items or promotional goods, and can encourage spontaneous purchases at your tills. 
• Presentable and polite staff: and finally, your customer service and the way your staff present themselves is essential if you want to perpetuate a good reputation for your store. Dressing neatly and providing excellent customer service at all times will boost your store's atmosphere and ensure your customers are happy to come back again another day.

At Shelving4Shops we are always updating our stock ranges. Why not come and see us and view our large quantities of new shop shelving and accessories, including:

·     Wall shelving - Not all shops have the space to have aisles of gondola shelving, in these cases, wall shelving can be an excellent alternative that optimises the space that you have while still providing plenty of shelving space.

·     Shopping baskets - Customers are more likely to purchase more items if they have baskets available to them, placing items at the front of the store is a great way to encourage shoppers to pick up more items. It can also be beneficial to have stacks of baskets around the stores for those shoppers that were not planning on picking up many items but have seen a deal that they want to take advantage of.

·     Wire stacking baskets - Most stores have that odd space that is not big enough for a bay but is not small enough to leave empty. Stacking baskets are a great way to quickly and easily fill in that space and they are easy to move around so you can keep your displays fresh for repeat customers to draw their eye.

·     Corner shelving - Often classic straight shelving can block the corners of your store. The simple addition of a purpose-built corner shelving unit can open up the corners of your store and provide you with extra shelving space to optimise your floor space.

·     Peg board shelving and pegs - When considering the shelving you will need in your store, often people overlook the fact that they will have items that will not sit well on a flat shelf. Pegboard shelving allows you to hang up items easily on hooks to ensure that they are displayed in the most alluring way to customers and are easy to keep looking neat.

A Guide to Gondola Shelving

Gondola shelving is essential for any convenience store, supermarket or retail store that wants to create aisles for customers to browse. This type of shop shelving offers many benefits, including double-sided shelving units to save space, adjustable shelf heights, and a versatile array of sizes to suit any store. 

Whether you have a small corner shop or a major supermarket, gondola shelving will form the core of your retail shelving layout. Gondola shelving is versatile and allows you to display a vast amount of different products on one type of shelving unit, from magazines to packaged products. A strong base shelf also allows for stocking heavier or bulky products.

The main advantage of gondola shelving is the ability to form a run of units to create natural aisles within your main shopping space, encouraging customers to move around all areas of your store and maximising display space. End bays can be added to the ends of runs for a neat and tidy look, and are perfect for displaying promotional or seasonal items!

Gondola shelving is durable and sturdy, and can be assembled quickly and easily - you can even swap out the shelf backing for peg board if this suits your products better. 

At Shelving4Shops we are always updating our stock ranges. Why not come and see us and view our large quantities of new shop shelving and accessories, including:

New Trade Counter and Office for Shelving4Shops

At Shelving4Shops we never sit still for long! With an ever-increasing product list and huge range of shop shelving stock held on site, we decided that it was time to move our office and build a trade counter for customers and visitors. Our new trade counter is now open from 9am to 5.30pm on Monday to Friday, and from 9am to 2pm on Saturdays. We welcome all customers - old and new - to visit us in our Midlands showroom, which is currently being extended to include new stock ranges.

The journey from upstairs to downstairs took about a week and went from a store room with a concrete floor to an empty office space with a lovely new carpet in record time.

This was our new office on Friday morning. By Friday afternoon, the telephone lines were being moved and the main office move was underway.

By Saturday night – and I do mean around 9pm – we had a fully-functioning office and all that was left to do was get settled in. The trade counter was built a week later and customers are already feeling the benefit of having somewhere to discuss their plans and wait in comfort while we get their order ready.

Shelving4Shops are experts in retail shelving and accessories – come and visit us to see our extensive range of retail shelving, just some of which are listed below:

·         Used shop shelving - We stock a range of used shop shelving and can work with you to source the shelving you need to match your existing stock.

·         Magazine shelving - This specialist unit allows the front of paper goods to be viewed by customers allowing for the selling point of paper goods to be easily seen and accessible.

·         Gondola shelving - A classic popular choice for many stores, gondola shelving can be used to create aisles in the store or used in conjunction with other units to create seamless shelving.

·         Wall shelving - Line the perimeter of your shop floor with wall shelving to maximise your floors space and provide ample room for displaying items.

·         Shopping baskets - A great way to encourage customers to purchase more items is to make it easier for them to hold more items. By having shopping baskets not just at the entrance to your store but also dotted around the aisles you can increase the number of items and impulse purchases a customer will buy.

·         Wire stacking baskets - These are an excellent way to display impulse purchase items or to put sale items in throughout the store. As these are freestanding they can be used to fill that empty space you have that can not be filled with classic shelving bays.

·         Wire dump bins - Similar to stacking baskets these dump bins can be used to store promotional items or impulse purchase items. They are also an excellent way to create a space in front of the checkout for people to queue in so they do not block the rest of the store.

·         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.

·         Peg board shelving and pegs - Not all products can sit well on a 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.
