Display Cases - Presentation is Everything

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Wed, 30 Jan 2013 16:00:00 +0000

Life is full of things that we sometimes take for granted. Moms, dads and….display cases. Just about everything that is sold (certainly in retail stores anyway) starts out in a display case or on shelving of some sort. It might be a beautiful, polished wood display case with crystal clear, perfectly clean glass or it might be an old, used display case that the merchant bought at one of the countless places that sell such things but, as any good chef knows, “presentation is everything” and a nice display case is one of the most important elements of retail marketing.

There are display cases….and then of course there are…."Display Cases". In other words, all display cases are not created equally. Some display cases are envisioned and designed right from inception to present the highest quality merchandise in the most positive way. Other display cases do not have so noble a destiny. Both types of display cases play their part in the world of commerce.

At The Fixtures Group we believe that there’s a display case that’s perfect for every product and that’s the way we’ve built our business. Our inventory includes a variety of different types of display cases, some of which are specialty display case designs and others which are more multi-purpose.

As you look through our website you’ll find a variety of types and styles of display cases and shelving which include: gondola and retail shelving, customizable kiosks, bakery and deli cases, acrylic displays of various sizes and configurations, display shelving, slatwall displays, and (yes) some overstocked ‘Sale’ items too.

Choosing the proper display case for your merchandise is an important decision. Certain types of materials tend to be more effective for specific types of products, e.g. acrylic cases are economical and work very well for mass-merchandised items whereas fine quality, natural wood display cases works better for higher-priced items like expensive jewellery and upscale gifts.

Also, when we help you select your cases or shelves we’ll also help you take into consideration the lighting environment where your item will be used. Lighting has a lot to do with the overall appearance of your products on display.

Our product line is oriented towards the retail trade however our display cases can and have been used in a wide variety of other situations too. Our expertise, gained over many years in the display fixtures business, is in helping you find the right type of display case and/or shelving to make the maximum contribution to not only your ROI but also the image of your business and your brand.

This last photo of course is not a actually vintage photo but is a display inspired by the vintage crate style look of yester year. I really like it so I had to share. Sometimes the most simple displays make the most impact.

How to Purchase A Display Case Online

noreply@blogger.com (Shop to be Green) — Fri, 18 Jan 2013 16:00:00 +0000

Picking out and purchasing new a new display case can be a big and overwhelming experience. With over 15+ years experience selling display cases online the Fixtures Group has compiled a list of their top 7 tips for purchasing a display case online:

Contemporary Trophy Display Case

Decide what your design style is. Traditional or contemporary. Do you prefer frameless, wood or metal. Which color will work best in your space? Dark, light, bright or neutral. Measure, measure measure. Measure your space ahead time. Most display cases can be custom made to fit your space but you will need that information before you place your order.
Is your display case going into a high traffic area? Will you need tempered (safety glass high-traffic) or annealed (low-traffic) glass?
As for color samples to be sent to you. This why you can be certain that what you pick online is going to match you decor.
What type of lighting will you need for you display case: LED (provides the highest output of brightness and last longer) or fluorescent (cool and energy efficient).
Always ask for a shipping quote before placing your display case order. Delivery charges vary by location and size of display.
VERY IMPORTANT: check your display case before signing the Bill of Lading (shipping receipt). Refuse to accept anything that is damaged from the shipping company and contact the company you order from regarding any damage immediately. If you accepted a damaged item from the shipping company you will be responsible for filing a shipping claim, where as if you refuse the shipment the company you order with will take care of it for you.
Don't wait until the last minute to place you order. Most display cases are made to order and will cost you more for rush delivery. Also a rushed order opens you up to delays and shipping problems. Plan at to order at least 1-3 months ahead of time.
Bonus. Make sure you know what the return policy is before you purchase your display case.

Wood Display Case Stain Options

There are a lot of choices so take your time and give a lot of thought to all of your options. Don't be afraid to call and ask questions before you purchase. Really think about what it is your looking for and your requirement before you buy. What is it you are going to display? Is small or large? Do you want something with a modern or antique feel? Are you a restaurant that needs a heated or refrigerated case? These are all great questions to ask yourself before you start shopping. Definitely research the company you are going to purchase with. A company with experience and longevity selling on the Internet is always recommended.

10 Ways To Attract Customers During the Holidays

noreply@blogger.com (Shop to be Green) — Thu, 17 Jan 2013 22:17:00 +0000

These 10 tips created by the Fixtures Group are great suggestions for Fall, Winter and Special Occasion Holidays like Valentine's Day.

Holidays are an opportunity to boost your store traffic and sales. Its the time when you want to grab your customer's attention and stand out from your competition. One of the best ways to do this is by updating how you merchandise your store. Switching up and changing your showcase fixtures, which includes your storefront, store design, lighting, layout, furnishings, display cases, signs and graphics, creates a fresh look. This can draw in new customers as well as attract old ones who are curious to see what's new. Poor merchandising keeps customers away.

Wooden Showcases

Here are ten tips to help you update your store:

Let your design tell a story. So before you start making changes decide what story you are trying to tell. Try creating an inspiration board.
Do change the look and feel of your store. Whether your changing it to fit the seasons and highlight seasonal product or just rearranging. Don't let your store become stale and stagnant.
Get rid of anything that is looking worn and dirty. Get back that shiny new feel your store had when you first opened. Now is the time to get the floors cleaned, repaint, order new signage and update your lighting, fixtures and display cases. If you own a bakery or deli make sure your deli cases aren't scratched or dirty. Dirty displays, especially in the food industry can be very harmful to your business. Clean displays boost your customer's confidence in the quality of the food you are serving.
Add depth and dimension to your displays. You can do this by hanging objects, using acrylic risers, or adding props. Make sure your colors pop and don't be afraid to get fun and larger than life.
Try creating lifestyle snipets a.k.a vignettes. Having an setting with a theme that demonstrates how and where your products can be used. Some examples would be to set up a dinning area, living room or outdoor picnic. Help your customers see themselves using your products.
Make an welcoming and warm environment for you customers. Give your customers excuses to come back to your store for a visit. Create customer experiences. You can do this by holding monthly special events (not sales) like DIY classes, product demonstrations, book clubs, special guest events, etc. Reward attendees with special discounts. Do something that sets you apart from your competition.
Partner with other area businesses that have a similar customer demographic but are not your direct competitors. They can expose your business to their customers and visa versa. A good example is if you are a natural skincare company you can partner with a local organic or gluten free bakery and host an event (one at their store...one at yours) where you features each others products.
Create mobile check-ins offers (with Facebook or Google +) to encourage local customers in the area to come visit your store.
Spend time getting to know your customers by talking with them face to face while they are in your store. Engage your customers so that you can learn about their wants, needs and how to keep them coming back. Don't be afraid of negative feedback, use it as an opportunity to improve your business.
Customer Service. Customer Service. Customer Service. It shouldn't have to be said but as a customer myself I am always shocked by how few stores actually practice this. Make yourself stand out by giving your customers the best customer service that you can. Believe me, they will notice.

Keeping a fresh and exciting retail space for your customers is just as important as the products that you sell.
