New Child Mannequins

There have been many customer requests over time asking us to add more child related products.   Children’s clothing and accessories has become a large piece of the  retail industry. More than ever before, there are a number of shops opening that are specific to providing merchandise for infants and children. In recent years, the resale children’s market has opened up tremendously. We wanted to meet this need and add to our line of fashion forms and mannequins.  Since you asked we wanted to meet that request with a flexible form that offers a bit of modern sophistication.

The mannequin features a chrome cap that allows the mannequin to stand 19 1/2″ tall. The height increases to 24 1/2″ with the optional change out head piece. The mannequin also comes standard with a chrome round base. It attaches from the bottom of the foot. The arms and legs are flexible and can be used to create fun action poses to further show the drape of the fabric.

The Latest Jewelry Displays

The Latest Jewelry Displays

Now that we are heading into the summer season, this is a great time to experiment with some new ways to display fashion jewelry. Jewelry is always a hot item that constantly needs to be restyled and re-imagined. This is a great time to invest in some new displayers. We have added some new displayers to our inventory that I’m sure you will love. They are very fashion forward and outside of the box. We are very excited to present our new merchandise to you.

Honeycomb Jewelry Displayer

The honeycomb jewelry displayer is a bold and creative way to show earrings. It is a metal half round that looks like the inside of a honeycomb. Fishhook type earrings can easily be placed inside of the displayer for a secure fit. I recommend staggering the earrings in size and style for a more interesting look and feel. This displayer measures 12” in height and 5 3/8” in width. The displayer comes with a ribbon attachment that allows the unit to be hung on a hook, doorknob or drawer pull. The unit can also be propped up against any secure surface for easy setup.

Wire Jewelry Tree

The wire jewelry tree is fast becoming one of the hottest new items in our inventory this year. This item is all about fashion and it is a great choice for showing off your jewelry. Whether your jewelry selection is conservative or eclectic, the jewelry tree will add an element of style that your customers will not be able to take their eyes away from. Each one of the jewelry trees is handcrafted and stands approximately 10 ½” tall. The trees are completely unique in their design and no two are alike. The displayer also features copper bendable wire branches that can be adjusted to your liking. At the tips of the “branches” are inserts to attach earrings. Mix styles and colors for an organic look.

Rosewood Necklace Displays

Our newest addition to our necklace display options are our new rosewood finish. These displayers feature a white midsection and rosewood top and base. The displayers are available in two sizes 6 ½ “and 7 1/2 “inches high. These will make any style of jewelry stand out and be noticed. The white with rosewood contrast looks great with traditional and contemporary jewelry, silver and gold metals too.

We are always excited to hear from you. If you would like us to feature your business or you would just like to share an idea, please do so by dropping us a line. Always check in with us on Facebook and Twitter for the latest trends, tips and retail news.

Mannequin Alternatives

Mannequin Alternatives

There are all sorts of ways that you can display clothing merchandise. Clothing display is one of the most creative endeavors that you can pursue in retail merchandising. A good display can draw attention to your store and bring in new customers. A bad display can simply cause your customers to pass on otherwise good merchandise because it was not shown in its best light.

Today we want to touch on some alternative ways that you can display individual merchandise and some of our products that can help you to achieve that. We want to take you beyond the traditional mannequin and introduce you to some alternatives.

Hook Stand

Hook Stands are a wonderful way to highlight a single article of clothing. The hook stand features an adjustable upright arm that extends from 18” to 36” in height so you can display a wide range of product. The hook stand is not just for clothing. This is a great item for handbags and other fashion accessories as well.

Tubular Ladder Mannequin

The tubular ladder mannequin has been a staple in our inventory for years now. It makes sense to have some displayers around and this is no exception. What is unique about this item is that it is very lightweight and easy to assemble. Additional features include metal hooks to suspend it.

If displaying t-shirts, sweatshirts or other active wear is your business, this display can be changed daily. It is very easy to assemble and disassemble giving your retail space a fresh look all the time.

We will continue this series later in the week. In the mean time, please keep the creativity going! As always, check in with us for the latest on merchandise and retail information.

Cobblestone and Raw Steel Salesman Racks

Tuesday, March 15th, 2011

Throughout the week we have been talking about hangrail racks that help you go the distance while saving floor space. We want to conclude the series with these next two racks

Cobblestone and Raw Steel Boutique Salesman Racks

I couldn’t conclude the series without bringing in the Boutique line of salesman racks. Our Boutique line has become a very popular line and the two different color finishes include a complete set of racks that compliment them. Both the Cobblestone and the Raw Steel Boutique racks have wonderful features that I just had to highlight.

Cobblestone Salesman Rack

The Cobblestone Salesman Rack features a hand painted copper finish that includes a decorative scroll design on top of the rack and at the bottom of the upright bars. This rack has a maximum height of 66” for the hangrail bar.  Additional features include casters and adjustability in the height from 48” to 66”. The weight capacity of this rack is 200 lbs.  This rack is a wonderful choice to highlight clothing that includes cool colors and sophisticated styling.

Raw Steel Salesman Rack

The Raw Steel Salesman Rack includes similar features a brushed silver finish and exhibits a clean linear look. This rack and the Cobblestone are often confused and I want to point out that the Raw Steel rack does not include the decorative scroll pattern at the top. The top of the Raw Steel rack is just a simple straight bar. Additional features include casters and adjustability in the height from 48” to 72”. The weight capacity of this rack is 220 lbs. This rack has such a great industrial look that really lends itself well to all sorts of styling from hip contemporary to laid back casual.

Thanks for checking in with us for the workhorse series. We are pleased that we can offer you several options for your retail needs. Please do not hesitate to let us know what else you would like to see us carry. A number of styles that have been added to our catalog started as customer requests. We want you to know that we do listen and we will continue to do so. Please follow us on Facebook and Twitter.

Heavy Duty Z Trucks

Heavy Duty Z Trucks

In continuing with our Workhorse series, we want to highlight two rolling racks that the term workhorse truly applies.

The Heavy Duty Z Truck is a true workhorse for several reasons

1. It can display a large number of clothing

2. It can be easily transported

3. It has a heavy weight capacity

The Heavy Duty “Z” Truck has a 63” hangrail bar and a weight capacity of 350 to 400 lbs. This rack in the past has been used as a storage room rack to hold merchandise before it went out to the sales floor. The “Z” frame design allows the racks to nest for space saving. However, more than ever before we are starting to see these racks appear on the sales floor.  There are many retailers that have taken on an “industrial” look to their sales floor and this rack fits in great with that look. Other features include 4” industrial casters that allow the rack to glide smoothly along the floor with minimal effort.

The Super Heavy Duty “Z” Truck has the same overall features but the main difference is in the weight capacity. With this rack, you are capable of displaying 500 lbs of merchandise at one time on a single rack! That is impressive by any standards. Both racks have optional add on bars that allow them to hang two levels of merchandise at the same time.  Keep in mind that the Heavy Duty Z Truck has an orange base and the Super Heavy Duty Z Truck has a blue base. Less than 6 square feet of sales floor space would be needed for this rack and when it is in use, it really packs a punch.

We will conclude our Workhorse series with one last grouping. This next group has its “shiny shoes” on and I know you will love them too.  As always please visit us on Facebook and Twitter to sign up for member exclusives, sneak peaks and more!
