Streamline Operations with Ready-to-Ship Pieces

March 8th, 2010

A multitude of items can be displayed in your store with showcases, and at M. Fried Store Fixtures, we have a selection to meet your every need.

Our Streamline Series is our most popular line because of its versatility and its ability to work well with any display theme. And, right now, as many storeowners are going through inventory and spring cleaning in advance of the next shopping season, why not take a look at our Ready-to-Ship line of Streamline Series products.

All Ready-to-Ship Streamline Series showcase products are fully loaded and ready to make their way to your store. These items are fully compatible with all of the Streamline Series Full Vision showcases and are constructed with shelving that matches adjacent cases.

Take a look at our Ready-to-Ship Half Vision Corner Showcase, which features mirrored doors, fluorescent lighting, an electrical plug, and a lock. It is 38-inches in height and its glass display area is a comfortable and effective 18-inches tall and 20-inches deep. This showcase comes with a 16-inch-tall wood base and a black kick base that is four-inches in height. A row of 10-inch-deep glass shelving is also included.

This showcase piece is perfectly suited for corner nooks where you want to include a display, but need security. And, the effect of lighting and glass serves to enhance whatever you choose to display, especially in darker corner areas. Why not enhance that effect with some of our mirrored displays and racks. All of these pieces work nicely together and will help to drive interest and consumer traffic to your store.

Upcoming Holiday Schedule

March 7th, 2010

We will be closed between March 29th & April 6th 2010. Our normal operations will resume on April 7th 2010.

Please accept our apologies for any inconveniences this may cause.

Change of Season: A Great Time to Update Your Store

March 4th, 2010

Winter is coming to an end and, with it, a new season will be settling in. Regardless of the weather, a change of seasons generally brings a change of pace, and a change of styles. What a wonderful time to display new inventory or to give existing inventory a new face.

When you’re changing your store’s inventory, prepare yourself for the new season change with up-to-date displays, security, storage, and shopping supplies. Regardless of what you sell, moving stock around is always a good way to drive in customer traffic, increase consumer interest, and give the impression that stock is selling and you have huge inventories.

Take the time to look through your shop to determine if you need new displayers or shelving. Perhaps you need more shelving in your storage area to maintain changing stock items, store winter items, or make room for spring items. And, remember, M. Fried Store Fixtures now offers a Gondola Quote Page that enables you to create a system and submit your information for free pricing. No limits. No catch.

Is your security up-to-date? Look at your shop and ensure you have adequate mirrors, sufficient camera coverage, currency control, and entry alerts. If you sell clothing, we offer fitting room checks and hard tags. We offer a wide variety of security options, so be sure you have all you need to keep your store, and your stock, safe, secure, and profitable.

Dust off those showcases and take a look around. Do you need a change of scenery? Can you add displayers to your showcases? Perhaps your store could use more dump bins, tables, mannequins, mirrors, hangers, or other accessories.

Regardless of what you sell, be sure to have full stock on packaging supplies such as gift boxes, plastic and paper bags, tissue paper, and other packaging supplies that will set you apart from your competitors and that make your customers feel special.

M. Fried’s cube units come in a variety of materials to display your products and also work well to store off-season or excess inventory. Use our glass cubes, which come in many, many options to enhance floor displays. Add grid cubes to increase interest and keep your customers’ eyes moving throughout your shop. Increased customer interest leads to increased sales.

And, while you’re at it, be sure you have adequate signage and promotional materials—many work especially well with our slatwalls or gridwalls, even on their own, from the ceiling, and from windows. Announce a winter clearance with banners, even lighted signs. Use freestanding card, countertop, even ceiling signs. Let everyone know you are out there and move that inventory with the many options available to you at M. Fried Store Fixtures.

How about offering a contest to get rid of some seasonal merchandise? We offer contest boxes.

In addition to gondola shelving, showcases, displayers, and gridwall and slatwall, we also offer whatever fixture you need to sell your products. If you sell shoes, we have an array of shoe store supplies. If you sell books, we can help with your displays. If you sell clothing, we offer hanger supplies, garment covers, mannequins, and forms, to name just some. Jewelry, antiques, china, pet supplies, food, house wares and home goods, garden supplies, lighting, electronics … M. Fried Store Fixtures can help you sell it all.

Clean out those winter displays and brighten up your store for the coming spring season.

With the seasons readying for change across the country, many stores are looking to examine inventory and take stock of what is for sale, what needs to be replaced, and what can go into storage.

Keep Your Products Within Arm’s Reach

March 1st, 2010

Spring is coming and, at M. Fried Store Fixtures, we want you to be ready for your new inventory and increased customer traffic with everything you need to keep your store stocked, safe, and filled with shoppers.

Store supplies are one of those shopping experience items that go unnoticed when they are present in sufficient quantities, but which can create a negative impression when they are missing. For instance, did you know that at M. Fried Store Fixtures we offer rolling plastic hand baskets and jumbo and regular-sized shopping baskets in an array of lively colors that automatically keep consumers interested and aware. For your shop, we also offer signs and stands that keep your store looking neat and organized.

For larger items and increased customer ease of shopping, we also offer shopping carts in three convenient and popular sizes: Large chrome, compact gray, and mid-size gray.

A largely stocked shop is a wonderful thing to any consumer, but there is nothing worse that not being able to reach that one, special item that is in eyeshot, but too far up or far back to touch. Be on hand to help your customers with reachers and grabbers for any job.

M. Fried Store Fixtures has conveniently priced and sturdy reachers and grabbers in several lengths and materials, including a 36-60-inch aluminum reaching rod, a 54-inch chrome and wood hanger retriever, a 62-inch reach grabber, and a 36-inch E-Z reacher.

And, as is generally the case, the more you buy of any item at M. Fried Store Fixtures, the lower the final cost to you.

February 15th, 2010

We’ve been talking about utilizing mirrors to display jewelry and for use with other products, even services. In addition to M. Fried Store Fixtures’ many countertop mirror choices, we also offer some stylized, attractively shaped mirrors that can display all sorts of products in your retail location.

Place items on countertops to enhance objects and increase the sense of space. For more expensive items, place the mirrors throughout your display cases.

These mirrors work well with jewelry and ornament groupings, but also show off one specific object beautifully. Consider sculpted crystal and glass, perfume bottles, china, candles; the list is only as long as your imagination.

If you sell purses and shoes, display trendy bag and shoe and boot charms on mirrors. If you are a bookseller, use mirrors to display ornamental bookmarks. Glassware, china, and ceramics make a lovely appearance when placed on a mirror and the mirror enables your customers to receive a more complete view of objects without the risk of breaking delicate pieces. This is especially important for high-end breakables and antiques.

M. Fried Store Fixtures offers beautiful mirrors that look wonderful right out of the packaging and in a number of sizes. Buy several of each type and placed them in your shop. They are sure to enhance your customers shopping experience and drive traffic into your store.

Use Mirrors to Make A Great Presentation

January 26th, 2010

We all know mirrors offer wonderful display opportunities for jewelry, but don’t forget the benefit of mirrors for other products and the outcomes of many services. M. Fried Store Fixtures has a variety of countertop mirrors to suit an array of needs, whether you sell jewelry, hats, or cosmetics, mirrors are a must-have item for your countertops and around your shop. And, remember, any of M. Fried Store Fixtures mirrors are appropriate in physician and dental offices as well as in offices where cosmetic procedures have become very popular.

If you sell cosmetics or offer make-up consultations and makeovers, our mirrors allow consumers to test items or follow your progress. If you sell wigs or are a hair salon, our mirrors are a wonderful alternative to much less expensive hand-held mirrors that offer limited display surfaces.

Our Single-Sided Acrylic Mirror is 15 inches in height and fitted with an attractive and stabilizing five-inch square base with an adjustable mirror for a number of viewing options when standing or sitting at a countertop.

The Double-Sided Oval Mirror offers all of the same conveniences at the Single-Sided Acrylic Mirror, and is fitted with a felt bottom to protect your countertop surfaces and also offers an adjustable angle. The mirror face is oval and the mirror is fitted with a six-inch square display base that enables three additional inches toward height.

Our Slant Countertop Mirror is stable and all acrylic, while the Black Countertop Mirror is constructed with an attractive black frame. Both mirrors are slanted for enhanced viewing and are good options to display around the display floor.

The Rotating Mirror is also constructed with an attractive black frame and offers the ability to rotate a full 360 degrees and tilting to any angle. Constructed with a rectangular mirror, the rounded top offers a traditional and attractive viewing surface.

Purchase several of each mirror style and display them throughout your establishment for optimum customer convenience.

Valentine’s Day is the Perfect Time to Display Jewelry

January 21st, 2010

Valentine’s Day is fast approaching. Be sure to show off all of your jewelry—large, high-impact pieces; smaller, delicate items; more expensive, one-of-a-kind specialty pieces, and more reasonably priced pieces—in advance of the 14th.

While flowers make a lovely and traditional presentation, the eternal gift of jewelry never goes out of style and M. Fried Store Fixtures can help you show your jewelry pieces in their best possible light.

For instance, our White Leatherette and Black Velvet Hexagon Jewelry Risers allow you to present a grouping of objects in very flattering displays. And, as readers of our blog know, darker pieces look lovely on the white leatherette displayers, while gemstones look beautiful against black velvet. Our White Leatherette and Black Leatherette Jewelry Sample Trays provide a professional and up-close option when working with customers and also work well in display cases to highlight specific pieces.

If you have an array of bracelets, be sure to display them in a Black Velvet 18-Groove Bracelet Pad; watches and bracelets display nicely in the Black Velvet 12-Section Watch/Bracelet Pad. Other options for watches are the 10-Slot Watch Pads in White Flocked and Black Velvet, especially if you are looking to display several watch and bracelet collections throughout your showcases. The same with rings and our White Leatherette and Black Velvet 8-Groove Ring Pad.

The 24 Compartment Pads in White Flocked and Black Velvet show off smaller items, such as post earrings and rings and trendier one-off items such as belly button, nose, toe, and brow jewelry. For those very special pieces, the White Leatherette and Black Velvet Full Size Pads work beautifully with our Glass Top Hinged Case.

And, remember to keep a stock of Jewelry U Pins on hand for securing pieces, such as chains on display pads. Ours our conveniently sized at 7/8-inch and come in gold metal.
