What To Consider Before Choosing Slatwall Panels For Your Store

When deciding on the best shelving solution for your store, it is a good idea to look at all the options available. Once you know what is available, then venture out and look at how other stores have used Slatwall panels in Melbourne and other areas

Some of the considerations for choosing display shelving:

• The space you have to work with

Look at the area you have and see just what is the best way to utilize and maximize your space so your merchandise will be displayed to the best advantage for your customers and sales staff

• Versatility and ease of installation

The ideal merchandising display areas are easy to erect and change as the type of product you wish to display changes. You should consider if you will need to adapt the configuration of your displays using an assortment of accessories such as different sized shelves, display arms, hooks, peg’s baskets and other devices

• Stock Levels

Consideration should be given to the size and weight of your merchandise and the amount of stock you want to exhibit. If you have too little stock it can look bare with unsightly gaps and if over stocked it appears cluttered and individual items are not shown to their best advantage

• Fit For Purpose

There are different accessories that are designed for different types of merchandise, so it is a good idea to know just what you plan on displaying and where. A good method is to draw a simple plan of your display area so you can easily decide how many and of what type of accessories you will require. For example, some things are good on an extended arm while others are best on a peg or hook, while a wire basket can be better for smaller types of merchandise.

Expensive items are best kept behind glass where they are easily seen, but at the same time secure

Do you want to have hanging or freestanding displays or a mixture, you need to consider foot traffic flow and security from losses. You can have displays mounted on wheels with towers of two, three or four sides.

• Colour range

Many merchandising display units come in chrome, white, black or wood grain as standard, but you have to consider your overall colour scheme and aim to make your shelving a part of your branding

• Budgeting

Due consideration needs to be given to your overall budget and to find a way of displaying your merchandise in a cost effective way. Unless you are a great handyman (women) or looking for a truly rustic display, often homemade shelving and display arrangements can look untidy and cheap, bring down the appearance of quality for your whole store. It can be false economy to go for the cheapest solution, rather look for the solution such as slatwall panels in Melbourne that meet all your needs at a realistic cost.

Choosing the right type of merchandise display for your store starts with considering the space you have and the amount of product you want to display there. Create a display solution in store that is attractive to customers and makes it easy for them and your sales staff.
