Don’t Get Weighed Down – Five Design Keys for Hardware Tool Displays

Posted on November 20, 2015November 20, 2015

Ensuring that you have the right tools for the job is critical to your success in almost any field of endeavor. Creating displays for hardware tools can be challenging. Showcasing these products effectively while supporting the weight of these items requires careful planning and material selection. At Creative Displays Now, we specialize in creating the most appealing and durable displays for a wide range of venues, including box stores, hardware retailers, department stores and specialty shops. Here are some of the most important factors to consider when designing hardware tool displays for the retail marketplace.

DESIGN TIP #1: Sturdy Construction
Because tools and hardware can be both bulky and heavy, the materials used to construct displays must be rugged and able to stand up under the weight of these products. Corrugated cardboard displays can be constructed and designed to provide solid support for heavy boxes. Additionally, plastic or metal framing parts can be integrated into displays to provide attachment points for hooks to show off hanging items to best advantage in stores and other retail environments.

4 Psychological Factors that Influence Consumer Decisions

Posted on October 27, 2015January 18, 2022

Understanding the psychological underpinnings of shopping behaviors can help your company target potential customers more effectively. Experts in the field of marketing have conducted numerous studies involving the motivations and key values at play when consumers purchase items in the retail environment. These analysts have identified four basic factors that can affect the buying behaviors of consumers.

#1. General Environment
Consumers in attractive and well-lit retail environments typically are more apt to make impulse purchases. It is for this reason that a well-designed end cap display for stores can often boost sales to an impressive degree. In less attractive surroundings, however, these displays may not have the same impact. Tailoring your displays to the environments in which they will appear can help you maximize their impact in the diverse retail marketplace.

Five Signage Solutions to Complement Your POS Display Stand

Posted on October 19, 2015October 19, 2015

In the retail environment, point of sale (POS) displays are a high visibility method for attracting the attention of consumers. As a result, the POS display stand tends to receive the lion’s share of media coverage and in-store acclaim. Retail signage, however, can be just as important in creating a warm and welcoming atmosphere for your customers and in providing them with the information they need to locate items in stores and establishments. At Creative Displays Now (CDN), we specialize in providing you with a full range of signage options designed specifically to suit the needs of your company. Here are five of the most popular items in our comprehensive range of signage options.

SOLUTION #1: Hanging Signs
Suspended on wires over large-scale displays of your products, hanging signs provide your company with added reach that extends from one end of the store to the other. Bright colors and scintillating movement can be real eye-catchers that can enhance visibility for your product lines and can boost your overall sales in retail venues. Using large fonts and consistent color choices can also increase the drawing power of these marketing tools.

SOLUTION #2: Sign and Shelf Combos
Adding a custom-printed sign to your display shelves can double the impact of your freestanding displays. These value-added signage options can provide added information for consumers or can create standout visibility for otherwise humdrum product shelves. By combining your displays with complementary signage, you can ensure that your target audiences see and purchase your products in the retail environment.
