What Makes a Great Outdoor Stand?

Saturday, July 17th, 2010

Outdoor displays have the particular capacity for being able to reach a wide range of potential customers. However, this does come at a price, and outdoor displays need to live up to the specific demands of outdoor usage, including durability and visibility.

As outdoor displays will need to survive in the great outdoors, it is important that they are given some level of weather-proofing. Even if you only plan on using outdoor displays in the summer months, the British weather is changeable, and therefore there should be at least some level of resistance to water etc.

With this mind, outdoor displays need to take advantage of suitable materials. In this regard, acrylic stands are ideal as they are not only durable, but acrylic stands are also lightweight, which means that they can be moved indoors at a moment’s notice.

Of course, whilst acrylic stands are a great way to display newspapers etc, they are not the only outdoor solution. A vending kiosk is also ideally suited to an outdoor sales environment, as certain kinds of kiosks, such as the deluxe kiosk from Tradewind displays, will not only give you a durable outdoor display for your newspapers etc, but it will also keep the vendor protected.

So, whilst acrylic stands are a simple outdoor display solution, they are not the only option. At Tradewind, we’ve got all kinds of great outdoor displays, so come and have a look and see what we can do for your outdoor display needs.

Reasons You Should Consider Buying Acrylic Stands

Tuesday, June 29th, 2010

Newspaper display stands come in a whole range of materials and designs, but the option that’s proving to be increasingly popular is acrylic. So just what can acrylic stands offer, and why should you consider buying them? Here are a few points you might want to consider.

•    They can easily show customers the publications that you have. With these stands there’s no chance of overlap as there’s plenty of space for all publications, making it particularly easy for customers to browse.
•    There are options for different types of publication. Broadsheet and tabloid newspapers require different stands to hold them, and luckily with acrylic versions there are options for all styles and sizes of paper.
•    You can get different widths and tier levels. Multi-tiered and double or even triple width options mean you can tailor your choice of stand to the size of your store and the number of publications that you have, offering you the ultimate choice and convenience.
•    They’re easy to keep clean. Acrylic stands are relatively maintenance-free and are easy to keep looking fresh and clean, and once you’ve got them they’ll last for years.
•    They look good. These stands can look particularly classy thanks to their design, but best of all they’re quite low-key so won’t distract the customer from the job in hand – buying their newspaper.

These are just a few reasons that you should consider using acrylic stands, and as you can see they can be incredibly beneficial. If you’re in the market for some, or indeed any other kind of newspaper display stands, make sure to come to us here at Tradewind Displays for a great selection.

Acrylic Stands Can Help Promote Your Business

Monday, May 17th, 2010

If you are in the retail business, you will want to maximise the advertising of your products in the most effective way possible. One of the best ways to do this is to produce leaflets or a monthly newsletter which promote your latest bargains and other deals for your customers, and more important, your potential customers. Once you have had the magazine or leaflets printed, the chances are you will probably just stack them on the counter near the till, and if you’re lucky they may be noticed by some of your customers.

The problem with doing this is that when things get busy in your shop, the brochures and magazines will get pushed to one side and before you know it, they are hidden from view, which means you have wasted time and money having them printed. You know that this isn’t the best method of promoting your store, so why not think about using brochure holders and magazine display racks?

Here at Tradewind Displays we have a wide variety of magazine and catalogue counter top displays to suit your needs. We have acrylic stands which are ideal for magazines, and brochure holders and brochure stands in a variety of sizes. These magazine stands and brochure racks may also be ordered in a variety of colours to suit you and your business. We have branding options available on all acrylic stands and magazine stands. In short, we have everything you will need to make sure that your message gets across to your customers!

Why Acrylic Stands are Perfect for Free Newspapers

Thursday, April 15th, 2010

In cities all around the UK commuters find free newspapers in acrylic stands at the entrance and exits of stations, and sometimes even thrust into their hands by someone standing at the door.

It used to be that the quality of the free newspaper found in acrylic stands was poor, but these days, the stories are well-targeted to a young and upwardly mobile audience, with topics that cover going out, food and fashion.

Newspaper displays are perfect for these free papers because they allow commuters to take the papers at their leisure, and publishers don’t need to pay anyone to hand them out. However, newspaper displays can only be relied upon once the free paper has built up a following.

Free papers such as the ones published in London are perfect examples of publications that can be stored in newspaper displays, because they have built up a huge cult following. The Metro, with an eclectic mix of celebrity news, quirky tales from around the world, fashion, media and lifestyle, is so well-targeted to its audience that the acrylic stands they are displayed in become empty very quickly.

Consider most commuter journeys into and around the capital. Crushed up closer to strangers than we would like, with an intimacy that can only be survived with distraction in the form of music or something to read, the appeal of something topical and entertaining – which is free – is simply irresistible.

Advertisers know this, and it is the success which comes of having access to a captive market though the free papers which keeps this area of print journalism a healthy one.

How Acrylic Stands Help Estate Agents

Wednesday, April 14th, 2010

The position of estate agent is a complex one. These individuals are often regarded with the same amount of distaste and dislike as lawyers and traffic wardens, though each has an essential role in our society.

There are several reasons why estate agents are mistrusted and disliked. One is due to the emotive nature of buying and selling a house – nothing affects us more than our homes and our families. Another is due to the fact that estate agents cannot always be counted on telling the truth as we see it.

But without estate agents the property buying and selling market would be a chaotic place. As someone once said: it’s a nasty job, but someone’s got to do it.

Due to our complex relationship with estate agents, the estate agents need to find other means to communicate with us. That is where acrylic stands come in. Acrylic stands allow for magazine display racks situated outside the premises of an estate agency. The magazine displays contain literature relevant to the housing market in that area and further afield, and serve as the perfect marketing material for the estate agency.

The magazine displays mean that the estate agency can communicate with potential customers without actually interacting with them. Where a member of the general public has to commit to enter the doors of an estate agency, it takes no effort to remove a magazine from the acrylic stand outside their doors and may end in a potential sale.

Typically, the magazine in the magazine displays contain information about properties for sale, activities in the local area, local news, interior design advice and a spotlight on the estate agency who produce it.

Create a Stunning Display at the Sweet Counter

Thursday, March 25th, 2010

The old fashioned sweet counter is making a comeback in many corner shops. Customers can be enchanted by rows of sweets; both wrapped and unwrapped, displayed in acrylic containers at point of sale. Adults will be swept back to their childhood on a wave of nostalgia and children will delight at the vibrant colours.  From jelly beans to lemon sherbets to liquorice humbugs, you can be sure to attract a constant stream of impulse purchases by displaying sweets at the cash till.

Acrylic stands and containers are undoubtedly the best when it comes to displaying unwrapped sweets, whether you choose to have the display which allows customers to scoop sweets directly or whether you keep them displayed behind the counter. The bright colours of the sweets will attract the customer without any need for brightly coloured point of sale signage. They also offer a hygienic means of storing sweets.

If you want to give customers access to self serve then acrylic can also be used to make scoops. Another idea which keeps the sweets untouched is to display them in acrylic gravity bins. Although your merchandise will speak for itself, you could choose to have acrylic point of sale bins with the product name or your company logo printed on them.

Choose your sweets strategically. What are the all time favourites and what looks the most attractive?  You can then have fun putting together your display, which should be created to beguile and attract children and adults alike.

At Tradewind Displays we can tailor point of sale displays to suit your needs, no matter what type of products you sell.

More Ways to Make Plastic Displays Attention Grabbing

Thursday, March 11th, 2010

Here are some tips for making your plastic displays and acrylic stands show stoppers:

1.     Add your logo to acrylic stands

There is no better way of reminding people of your store’s name and brand values than by adding your logo to acrylic stands within the store.  Logos can be incorporated into all forms of point of sale displays, from newspaper display stands and magazine racks to sweet racks and brochure holders.  This will customise your acrylic stands to fit in with your shop layout and décor and is a constant reminder to customers that they are buying from your business.

2.     Combine acrylic stands with other types of display

You can create interest by pairing up plastic containers and stands with other display types.  You can combine small acrylic stands with sturdy metal shelving or wire racking for example.  By using different colours and styles of acrylic bins and containers you can create the perfect backdrop to display them and show them off using traditional shelving.

3.     Use acrylic stands to aid convenience

In addition to the visual impact afforded by acrylic stands and containers, another way to make them more attractive to customers is to ensure they are convenient to access.  Containers and stands should save space and make products more accessible.  You can find stackable acrylic containers or those designed to make picking products easier for customers, such as the gravity bin.

At Tradewind Displays we have a wide range of acrylic stands and other plastic displays.

Ways to Jazz Up your Plastic Displays

Wednesday, March 10th, 2010

When you ponder plastic point of sale, you will no doubt have an image of acrylic bins and clear acrylic display stands that are more geared towards functionality than design.  They are a main staple of any store’s point of sale display and you will find many ways of using them creatively in the shop. However, there are also more vibrant versions that can really add some spice to your point of sale.

Here are some ways to add colour and appeal to your point of sale displays:

1.    Use acrylic stands and bins in a variety of colours, styles and shapes

When looking at the styles, shapes and colours available there is a wealth of variety, as well as versatility and durability.  Colours can even be made translucent so that your customers are still able to appreciate the products inside them.  There are fixtures that can be tailored to specific requirements and holiday themes.  Acrylic mix and match containers in a variety of sizes can add interest to point of sale displays or create an individualised look with unique shapes and styles.

2.    Use brightly coloured products in acrylic stands

Another way to create eye catching displays is to use bright merchandise inside clear acrylic stands.  Brightly coloured confectionary or small toys can make attractive displays at point of sale.  You can choose themes to fit with the holiday season – for example, orange and black merchandise at Halloween or red confectionary for Valentine’s Day.

At Tradewind Displays we have a wide range of acrylic stands on offer.
