How should tool display racks be placed when decorating a hardware store?

In today’s era, many people have thought about opening a hardware store because it occupies a large market share and has many consumer groups. Therefore, more and more entrepreneurs are willing to choose this project. 

The key point is that when a hardware store starts a business, it requires a low start-up amount and a high cashier realization goal, which can meet our different entrepreneurial needs. 

However, because the hardware store needs a wide variety of products, we must know how to arrange the shelves in the hardware store during the store operation.

When decorating a hardware store to place tool display racks, you need to consider the following aspects to arrange them reasonably: 

1. Tool category partitioning:

Group tools according to categories, such as pliers, wrenches, hammers, power tools, etc. The tools are arranged according to their categories to facilitate customers to quickly find the tools they need and enhance the shopping experience. 

2. Labels and logos: 

Set clear labels on each tool display rack to mark the tool name and specifications to facilitate customer identification. Colored labels, icons, or text labels can be used to make the layout clearer.

3. Highlight hot-selling or new products:

Place hot-selling or new products in a conspicuous position to attract customers’ attention. Special display windows or free-standing displays can be used to highlight these specially recommended tools. 

4. Arrangement of functions and usage scenarios:

Arrange the tools according to their functions or usage scenarios. For example, putting plumbing tools and water pipes and other related products together makes it easier for customers to buy the tools they need in one place. 

5. Safety and easy access:

Ensure that the structure of the tool display rack is stable, and the tools are firmly placed and not easy to slide. Set the appropriate height and tilt angle of the display rack so that customers can easily access tools while ensuring safety.

6. Lighting and Cleaning:

Provide appropriate lighting for tool display racks to ensure tools are clearly visible. Regularly clean and organize tools on display racks to maintain a clean and orderly display environment.

 7. Leave passages and space:

Make sure there are enough passages and space between tool display racks to facilitate customers to move freely when browsing and selecting. Reasonably set the spacing between exhibition racks to avoid crowding and cross-influence. 

To sum up, reasonable placement of tool display racks requires consideration of factors such as tool category zoning, label identification, hot sale and new product display, function and use scene layout, safety and easy access, lighting and cleanliness, passage and space reservation, etc. According to the actual situation and customer habits, the display rack layout can be flexibly adjusted to provide a convenient and comfortable shopping environment.

Among them, the following 6 tips for placing tool display racks echo the previously mentioned points to increase sales. 

1.Organization:

Classify and group display racks according to the type and use of tools, such as power tools, hand tools, measuring tools, etc., to facilitate customers to quickly find the products they need. 

2. Height and level:

Place tools of different sizes and types at different heights and levels on the display rack to create a sense of hierarchy and increase visual appeal.

3. Demonstration:

Set up a tool demonstration area next to the display rack to attract customers’ attention and stimulate their desire to buy by showing the sample effects of the tools in actual use. 

4. Clearly identify:

Set clear identification for each tool, including product name, specifications, price, etc., to facilitate customers to understand and make choices. 

5. Visibility and tactile experience:

Appropriately tilt or hang some tools so that customers can better observe and feel the appearance and texture of the tools, increasing the visibility and tactile experience of the product.
