Picture Slatwall in Your Shop

July 29th, 2010

We’ve recently been telling you about our large line of Slatwall and Slatwall accessories and have also been able to show you the M. Fried Store Fixtures’ growing gallery of photographs that better enable you to see display options in real stores, just like yours.

For instance, here is an example of Slatwall constructed with traditional shelves. This a great example of a basic, enduring option that works well with most any product line; however, if you prefer something different or if you have walls that require additional options, we can help with that, too. For instance, here is a picture of Slatwall installed around a window and with a complex ledge.

You can also use different display accessories with your Slatwall. This Slatwall display shows how a range of accessory options work well together in the same shop. And, in this photo, you can see how the same sort of displayer option works very well with different products and product lines.

If you are concerned about the durability of our products, here is proof that Slatwall and Slatwall accessories collaborate successfully to display heavier items, such as these brass instruments, these electric guitars, and these traditional guitars. We linked to this photograph yesterday, but the photo bears repeating as this design also shows different types of display options, indicating that varying Slatwall displayers work seamlessly together. The gallery also show how M. Fried Store Fixtures’ Slatwall works beautifully with our other product lines, such as Showcases.

Take a moment to browse the gallery and come back often for creative options that will help you enhance your display case and keep your customers coming back for more.

Up Close and Personal with Slatwall

July 27th, 2010

If you’re a reader of this blog, then you are already well on your way to becoming an expert on slatwall. And, if you caught our blog yesterday you would have been directed to the M. Fried Store Fixtures’ gallery of photos, a variety of which show slatwall in various states of setup and used in a range of displays.

Take, for instance this shot of a full section of slatwall after installation and prior to display. This photo makes it easy to see the many opportunities available to you from shelves and brackets, to baskets and bins, to faceouts and waterfalls, to hangrails and brackets, to name just some.

With slatwall, you can use any combination of these and other accessories especially constructed for use in slatwall paneling and merchandisers. And, what’s more, you can set up a display, keep it up for a while, and change it when you change inventory and product lines; when you offer sales, specials, or merchandise closeouts; and when seasons change. Or at any time you choose. Or, leave it as is and never change your displays.

Whatever your choice, you are sure to create eye-catching displays with our slatwall and accessories, which always helps to bring in customer traffic and customer sales, a key goal in all retailers plans to increase assets.

Take a look at a few of our examples for slatwall, including for musical instruments, beauty accessories, and small electronics. And keep coming back. We are always adding new pictures to help provide you with a full array of ideas.

Display it with Waterfalls

July 23rd, 2010

Use Baskets for Smaller Items

July 22nd, 2010

Yesterday we discussed the benefit of adding acrylic to your M. Fried Store Fixtures’ slatwall displays and showed you part of our line of Slat Baskets and Bins, focusing on acrylic bins created to display in our slatwall panels and merchandisers.

Mix and match different size baskets and incorporate acrylic bins. All of the baskets and bins in this line are meant to work with our slatwall line and each other and all are meant to create interest when used together.

As we mentioned yesterday, these display tools work very well closer to your check-out line while customers are waiting to pay, yet are still browsing, and with smaller products positioned close to your stationary staff. And, bear in mind, we offer traditional and sloping baskets, which provide different views on items and look nice when matched together.

Our Wide Shallow Baskets (Item P425) are just that at 24 inches in width, 12 inches in depth, and four inches in height.

We also over two smaller baskets, our Small Sloping Baskets (Item P426) provide an attractive slope and are 12 inches in width and depth and offer a comfortable slope with its eight-inch back and four-inch front. The Small Baskets (Item P427) measure 12 inches in width and depth and are four inches in height.

If you like a basket that slopes, we also offer a more shallow option with our Shallow Sloping Baskets (Item P428), which are 15 inches in width by 12 inches in depth with a five-inch back and three-inch front.

Acrylic Bins Show Off Your Products

July 22nd, 2010

Why not add some more acrylic to your M. Fried Store Fixtures’ slatwall displays? We offer many Slat Baskets and Bins, which work beautifully with our slatwall panels and displayers and enable you to show off many of your smaller items in eye-catching, convenient ways. What’s more, these bins provide clean lines and display products in ways that prevent clutter and mess.

Start with our Slatwall Bracket (Item 999SWB), which is used to hang gondola open-end baskets to slatwall. Then, add any one of our compartmentalized Acrylic Bins, which come in a range of sizes including the 1 Compartment Acrylic Bin (Item JZT1R), which offers one large 15-3/4-inch-wide compartment. Mix and match this with the 3 Compartment Acrylic Bin (Item JZT3X) with three 9-3/4-inch-wide compartments.

We also offer compartmentalized Acrylic Bins in three other sizes, which allow you to store and display even smaller items, including the 4 Compartment Acrylic Bin (Item JZT4X) with 7-1/4-inch wide compartments; the 5 Compartment Acrylic Bin (Item JZT5X), with 5-3/4-inch-wide compartments; and the 6 Compartment Acrylic Bin (Item JZT6X) with 4-3/4-inch-wide compartments.

Any of these compartments work well with your smaller product lines and are especially effective when placed close to your check-out area, where customers waiting on or approaching lines to pay can browse smaller items. And, if these items are placed near your working staff, you have the added benefit of staff ensuring that small items don’t disappear.

While all of the Acrylic Bins work wonderfully together and can be mixed and matched with one another—and all of our slatwall accessories as a matter-of-fact—we recommend mixing these with our line of baskets, which we will cover in detail tomorrow.

More Acrylic Slat Shelving to Create Interesting Displays

We’ve been talking this week about the many acrylic accessories at M. Fried Store Fixtures that are meant for use in our expansive Slatwall lines and we have even more options to discuss today.

Acrylic is such a great display option because of its clean lines and its ability to seamlessly blend with any display décor. Buy a few of each of our Slat Acrylic and Plexi Shelves and mix and match them throughout your slatwall paneling and merchandiser displayers. They work well with all slatwall accessories and really help you maintain customer interest in the product lines you display throughout your store.

For instance, consider our Slat Acrylic Utility Shelves (Item P395), which are constructed of 3/16-inch acrylic with flamed edges or our Slat Display Trays (Item P415), also made of 3/16-inch-thick acrylic and which are eight inches in depth and two inches high.
