Updating Your Retail Space

Retail has seen a lot of changes over the last few years. This has been an unprecedented time in our history and we’ve all been challenged in a variety of different ways. Business owners understand that in order to succeed, you must be flexible and adapt to an ever-changing retail environment. With this in mind, we would like to offer you several solutions to update your retail space and get your business ready for the holiday season and beyond. Here are a few simple things you can do so your customers know you are ready for business!

We Are Open

Make sure your customers know that you are open for business and ready to receive their business. Nothing lets your customers know you’re open better than clear, easy to read signage. Open signs notify customers from near and far that you are open and operating and sidewalk signs are perfect for promoting your business before they even get inside. You can post all sorts of information such as your business hours, special sales or a fun greeting so customers know that you’re glad to see them! Once inside your store, signage should be spread throughout the sales floor for the best visual impact. If you chose to display merchandise on the walls, include a featured sale sign to break up the space. We offer all sorts of sign cards and sign holders that can work with any décor.

We Are Safe

One of the biggest concerns for shoppers visiting stores today is safety. People want to know what steps you are taking to keep them protected. If you require facial coverings, make sure you have signage posted throughout your store, on your front door or front display window. Providing your customers with hand sanitizer is a great way to show your customers that you are helping them stay safe while inside your store. Displaying a hand sanitizer station at the front of the store is essential to reassuring customers that you care. Social distancing has become a standard part of our day to day lives. Posting signs in your store thanking your customers for social distancing and providing traffic barriers and signage on the floor will direct customers where you want them to stand and keep them focused on what they need to do to stay safe while shopping.

We Have What You Need In Stock

Supply shortages and delayed shipping are concerns for everyone. Take advantage of having in person shoppers by making sure they know that you have what they need in stock right now. Take the stress away from customers who would otherwise shop online. When customers are in your store, have as much inventory as possible available on your sales floor for them to see. This is the perfect time to utilize your wall space. You can use wall displays to merchandise several feet off the ground without having to take up any additional floor space. Walls can be used to display all types of products. Wire grid is easy to install, flexible and durable. This type of fixture can be mounted with screws and wall mount brackets in each corner. We offer grid in several lengths and colors. This fixture has all types of accessories that can be utilized to merchandise seasonal items, everyday accessories, clothing, jewelry and more. Slatwall is another popular solution for your retail store. Slatwall is pleasing to the eye and is available in traditional and contemporary finishes. Slatwall is sold in 2’x4’ and 4x8’ sections and can be cut to fit into most spaces. Shelving, faceouts and peg hooks can be used for all types of product options.

Curbside Pickup Is Available

Curbside pickup is an added bonus feature to offer your customers that do business with you. Offering curbside is a smart option for many reasons. Customers who utilize this may not feel comfortable shopping in person quite yet, or they may just need a quicker option that allows them to have their order ready when upon arrival. If you decide to offer curbside service, make sure you have clearly marked special parking areas created and provide a phone number for them to call once they’ve arrived. Customers have come to rely on curbside service as a convenience and a time saver.
