I have a kids clothing store that is fun and funky! We have zebra ceilings, pink flying pigs, and a different color in each themed room. We sell a lot of hairbows that are just as wild! My question, what is a cute idea of displaying all the bows? My area to use is 7 feet tall and 3 feet wide. – Tracie, TX
You definitely have a lot of options when it comes to displaying acccessories in your store, no matter how wild the decor! If you are looking to display a large amount of hair bows all at one time, consider some different types of floor displays.
You could use 2X6 grid panel and attach legs to it so that it stands freely. Then you can attach peghooks of any size to display your bows. Another option is a rotating slatwall unit. Just attach some slatwall peghooks and you will be able to have a display that rotates for customer convenience.
There is also a rotating peg displayer that has 4 tiers where you can hang your hair bows. It rotates and is very light and portable so you can move it around to suit the changing display needs of your store. There is also a counter-top version that is perfect for those impulse buys at the check out.
You could also use swivel clips to clip the hair ribbons and bows and hang them anywhere in your store. Since your store is fun and funky, don’t be afraid to go wild with any of your displays! – Store Supply Guy
I need help re-decorating the displays for my vendor/tent shop. I’m on a budget and am thinking of adding Self-Standing Grid-Wall systems. Items must be easy to move & set-up since my store is set-up at horse shows. I am a one-person shop and I sell Spanish Flamenco Equestrian and Dance Dresses. Could these work for me? – Maura
For any retailer that is on the go and traveling to trade shows to sell their wares, grid panels and accessories are a portable and easy to use system to “set up shop” anywhere you go! Both slat-grid panels and square grid panels can be attached to legs or rolling bases to create an attractive and enticing display.
Use a combination of accessories like shelving, brackets, peghooks, waterfalls, baskets, hangrails and even lights to show off your merchandise. Dresses could be displayed attractively by using waterfall faceouts, or by using a quarter-circle hangrail attached to two panels connected into a “V” shape.
Bright colors will stand out against chrome, white or black panels, and set up and breakdown are easy. However you set up your traveling store with grid panels, use your imagination! There are thousands of combinations that are affordable and sure to help you sell your merchandise. – Store Supply Guy
Lori, you came to the right place. Store Supply Warehouse carries a wide variety of clothing racks. But I’d like to take the time to explain to our readers the types of racks that are available.
Garment racks come in all shapes and sizes and are very versatile. The types of racks available range from units that are meant to merchandise your clothing and make them look attractive to the racks that are meant to hold the garments that you have in storage. Additionally, some are even portable so you can take them to trade shows or wherever else you go to sell your clothing.
Some of the most popular types of clothing racks for display on your floor are round racks , 2-way racks , and 4-way racks . Round racks are very common in retail clothing stores because of their versatility and ease of use. Customers can easily brows through the garments and size dividers can be easily used to section off the different-sized clothing. Additionally, a glass top or sky tier can be added to the top of a round rack to display hats or accessories. 2-way and 4-way racks live up to their names because they have 2 and 4 arms, respectively, to display clothing. You can vary the type of arms you have (straight vs. slanted arms) to make a unique look in your store. And on a 4-way rack, you can even add shelving to display folded clothing along with items that are hung on the rack!
If you are looking for a rack to put in your back room for storage of garments, you have many options. Z-Trucks (named for their z-shaped base) are great for storing heavier garments like coats. Additionally, there is a double-rail rack that can be really useful if you want to hang clothing at different levels because one rail stands at a lower level than the other. You can even add extra bars to this rack, and connect two racks together with tandem rails to double your storage space!
Sometimes you just need your rack to be portable, and there are two options for this. One is the folding/rolling rack which folds flat for storage and can easily be expanded without taking it apart and putting it back together. Or if you prefer something that is more compact, a single-rail rack can be taken apart and bolted back together easily. Either way, you have a great rack for displaying and for storing your garments.
Here at the Store Supply Warehouse Blog, we are always open to suggestions. Please let us know what types of clothing racks you use in your store. What do you find works the best? Or what type rack directly impacts your sales? We want to hear from you!
