Another Thought on Slatwall Accessories

Thursday, August 12th, 2010

If you’ve been shopping, then you’ve likely seen slatwall in some of the stores you’ve visited. And, if you’ve seen slatwall, then you’ve probably seen slatwall from M. Fried Home Fixtures.

You can find slatwall virtually anywhere: Booksellers, antique stores, clothing shops, athletic supply stores, Judaica shops, electronics and technology outlets, salons and spas, garden suppliers, even postal offices. The list is endless. Whether you’re a sole proprietor or a chain, slatwall works. Whether your tastes run traditional, trendy, contemporary, edgy, or old world, slatwall works.

Slatwall works wonderfully with so many different product and service lines because it’s not only versatile; its display benefits are unobtrusive and work within many different design perspectives. Slatwall also allows you to create displays that show off many items in smaller spaces, which enables increased display opportunities.

We’ve been talking about the many ways in which you can use slatwall and all of its accompanying accessories. In today’s final installment on slatwall accessories, we want to point out that we also offer Slatwall Hosiery Displays (Item P233) as well as Slatwall Hosiery Boxes (Item P464), which come in clear Plexiglas and a singe option that holds up to 12 standard size packages or a double option that holds up to 24. Buy these in both to create visual interest by coordinating spacing.

And, no matter what your specialty, be sure to finish off your slatwall with our Slat Sign Holders (Item P049), constructed of a durable 1/8-inch thick acrylic and our rubber-coated Slat Easels (Item P402).

Slatwall Merchandisers: The Core of Your Slatwall Display

Tuesday, July 13th, 2010

We’ve been talking about the many benefits of slatwall over the past couple of weeks and have shown you some of our slatwall panel choices and insert options. But, did you know that at M. Fried Store Fixtures, you can also purchase Slatwall Floor Units (Item P219).

These easy-to-assemble merchandisers are created with knockdown construction for ease of display creation, change, and movement. What’s more, you can accessorize M. Fried Store Fixtures’ Slatwall Floor Units with the same slatwall accessories used with our panels, enabling you to sell virtually any sort of merchandise.

For instance, you can add any combination of slat shelves and brackets, baskets and bins, faceouts and waterfalls, hangrails and brackets, and hooks to your merchandiser or merchandisers to expand your display options. And, with its generous size—50 inches in width, 24 inches in depth, and 54 inches in height, you can feel comfortable incorporating a great deal of stock in a limited and sturdy space.

Use waterfall displays on one side to cascade products; use brackets and hooks to hang other items nearby. Baskets and bins always offer a wonderful option for displaying smaller items or to highlight one or two items.

Consider making a merchandiser—or merchandisers—a display focal point with panels to accessorize your display and to make a number of themed display areas around your store. Augment these with signs, even mannequins and you can continually draw interest and drive sales.
