New Packaging Collections

Wednesday, July 28th, 2010

For retailers, the only piece of your store other than your merchandise that goes home with a customer are your bags and packaging. Packaging can leave a lasting impression on the quality of your store and can speak volumes about a store’s customer service. That is why Store Supply Warehouse is introducing a new line of premium packaging that includes coordinating bags, tissue paper and accents that are affordable for store owners.

Our customer service representatives are consistently making recommendations of how to group together our current merchandise to create a packaging collection and as a result, we decide to create collections for our customers. The collections integrate some of our existing products with new items to create a suite of products designed to create a cohesive look to a store’s packaging. With five expertly coordinated collections, stores are bound to find a collection that matches the look and mood of their retail store.

The five collections include glossy euro tote bags, frosty bags, tissue paper, raffia, curling ribbon and other accents. The collections are designed to express the mood of a store:

Neapolitan Collection: Reminiscent of the favorite ice cream combo, the Neapolitan collection integrates stripes and polka dots in the classic colors of white, pink and brown.  Raffia and ribbon accents finalize the collection that is topped with colorful tissue paper.

Cabana Bay Collection: Summon the feel of the islands with the Cabana Bay Collection. Cool colors are complemented with Island stripes accessorized with blues, oranges and yellows. Add a touch of the island with oatmeal and sage colored raffia to finish the look.

Treasury Collection: The classic combination of black and white is revved up by zebra print accents on bags and tissue paper and subtle metallic highlights. This timeless look would fit in with almost any store design.

Glamazon Collection: Black, Purple, Zebra and Leopard prints come together to fashion a distinct collection that will appeal to many clothing store owners. This collection is perfect for the store that caters to the woman that wants everything from her hair to the bag she is carrying to look polished.

Wild Raffari Collection: Giraffe prints are set off with the natural accents of raffia. Light green, orange and yellow items brighten the look and add an unexpected twist to an animal print collection.

The premium bag collections can be customized in regards to sizes and accents to a retailer’s specifications. And all of these collections can be supplemented by our already extensive lines of solid color tissue paper, frosty bags, glossy euro totes, ribbons and raffia to create a truly unique look for any store. Because of our extensive network, we are able to provide these items at affordable rates so that any store can add a touch of excitement and color to their packaging without breaking the bank.

Summer Displays: Swimsuits

Wednesday, June 2nd, 2010

This summer, we are going to feature many of the different display items that are perfect for summer merchandise. From swimsuits, to sunglasses and more, summer is a fabulous time for switching up your merchandise and making quick sales with new customers.

First we are going to highlight ways to display swimsuits. Swimsuit season can be a fast season, most people make their suit purchases before the 4th of July. But there is still plenty of time to revamp your displays to maximize your profits in this area.

One of the more difficult items to display, swimsuits don’t have the same type of hanger appeal as shirts or dresses. And because of the limited amount of fabric, even hanging a swimsuit on a hanger can prove to be a challenge. Here are our suggestions for displaying swimsuits.

Use some sort of a display form that can hang on the front of a rack or on wire grid or slat wall displays. These forms allow you to tie a bikini or one piece onto the form so your customers can see exactly how the suit is cut. Then place the inventory of swimsuit sizes on the rack below or behind that display form. Even if your clientele is on the petite side, we recommend using a more shapely display form because it keeps the cups of the bikinis in the right place.

Two piece hangers work well for two piece suits that are sold as a set. Or take a standard plastic dress hanger and hang a pant hanger from the loop at the bottom of the dress hanger. This gives you the ability to keep separates together but you can show off each piece individually.

Many times for sizing and style purposes, suits are sold in a mix and match display. One of the best ways to do this is to create a slatwall display. You can then add faceouts at two levels, placing all the top options above and the bottoms below. And make sure to display many different options of the combinations using the forms that can be placed high on the slatwall.

How does your store display your swimsuits?

Boutique Fixtures Join Store Supply Warehouse’s Line of Clothing Display Racks

Friday, April 16th, 2010

The elegance of boutique merchandise should be displayed on racks and fixtures that convey the quality of the product. That is why Store Supply Warehouse recently expanded their offerings with a new boutique line including a brand new line of handcrafted boutique garment racks.

Boutiques should be designed with elegance from head to toe. A designer gown needs to hang on a rack that is in line with the price and quality of the gown. That is why we are now offering boutique displays that communicate the higher end of the retail industry.

Boutiques can choose from the Cobblestone Collection featuring a hand brushed copper finish, topped off with decorative accents. Or for that industrial look the Raw Steel Collection features a mottled brushed finish and stylish welded corners. All racks come with standard flat caps, but can be customized by adding one of four Finial Designs: ball finials, double curl finials, teardrop finials and the standard flat finial. Finials easily attach and detach to the top the rack allowing retailers to change the look of displays in seconds.

Handcrafted display racks from The Boutique at Store Supply now include:
• Two Way Racks with Slant Arms
• Two Way Racks with Straight Arms
• Three Way Racks
• Four Way Racks with Slant Arms
• Four Way Racks with Straight Arms
• Round Racks
• Salesman Racks with Casters
• Single Costumers
• Spiral Racks

In addition to the new racks and displayed offered by The Boutique at Store Supply, Store Supply also added boutique supplies such as designer tissue paper, boutique glossy bags, black jersey covered forms, fiberglass mannequins and plastic mannequins.

The new product line is guaranteed to add a touch of class to any showroom. As with all products, the new boutique line at Store Supply Warehouse is always in stock and ready to ship immediately.

Black Jersey Forms

Friday, April 2nd, 2010

Store Supply Warehouse recently unveiled its new boutique line. In addition to the new boutique tissue paper that we talked about last week, we have a wide variety of new display items that are targeted to the boutique owner as well.

One of our new lines is the black jersey form line. As a classy alternative to a mannequin, jersey forms are ideal for displaying suits, evening gowns and fancier garments. That is why we added them to our new boutique line.

Simple things like upgrading forms to a black jersey form will give your store that extra touch that will set it apart from other retailers.

The new jersey dressmaker forms are made from easily pinnable molded polyurethane foam covered in durable black jersey material with wood tripod bases and neck finials. Styles include:
