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.

Where Can I Buy A Boards?

Tuesday, June 22nd, 2010

A boards can be a fantastic selling tool. They can advertise your menu, your opening times, your offers and anything else you could possibly need them to, and they can be incredibly beneficial for all kinds of businesses. But where can you buy them?

If you’re new to retail it could be difficult to know where to shop for A boards, particularly because they’re quite specialised pieces of equipment. It’s always best to head to specialist stores, perhaps by heading to your local business/retail park or to a cash and carry to see if they’ve got anything available.

But, finding such stores can often be tricky and you’ll usually have to hit the internet to find anywhere suitable. In that case, why not shop online instead?

By heading online for A boards you’ll have access to a much better selection than you’d be able to find in the high street, and there’s no hassle involved as you don’t have to worry about finding the store. You can just shop from your own home or business for complete convenience, and the prices are sure to be better as well.

You could always try to get lucky with search engines, but if you want to save yourself the effort why not come straight to us here at Tradewind Displays?

Finding The Right Newspaper Displays For Your Budget

Thursday, June 17th, 2010

If you run a newsagent, or in fact any other store that sells newspapers, then newspaper stands could well be one of your primary retail tools. It’s essential that you’ve got the right ones to meet your needs and to suit your customers, but you also need to find the right ones for your budget.

This shouldn’t pose too much of a problem, because there are plenty of newspaper stands available to suit all requirements. But, if you’re looking for ones to suit your budget you’ll have to consider a number of important points, the first of which being the size of your store. Smaller stores will require smaller newspaper displays, allowing you to save money already.

You should also consider whether you’re looking for acrylic stands or wire rack options. Wire news racks tend to be cheaper than acrylic versions so they could be worth thinking about, although again they’re more suited to smaller stores that don’t stock such a wide variety of publications.

Acrylic stands have the advantage of being able to hold several different titles and being relatively maintenance free, and although they tend to be more expensive there are always deals to be found. It all comes down to finding the right supplier, and if you’re looking for the best then come to us here at Tradewind Displays.

Here at Tradewind we have a great selection of newspaper displays including acrylic and rack options, so whatever you’re after we’ll be able to accommodate. We can also offer fantastic prices on all of our products, so if you need stands that suit your budget then make sure to come to us.

Bright And Modern Newspaper Kiosk

Tuesday, May 25th, 2010

If you have an image of a newspaper kiosk, it is probably one which suggests a run down shabby looking structure. This is how the average newspaper kiosk used to appear, but these days the publishers of newspapers want to show that they have moved with the times, and one of the ways of doing this is to sell their titles from bright and shiny kiosks. This is just one way that publishers are trying to sell papers.

You’ve probably noticed a whole new wave of newspaper stands and magazine stands in your local shops, all of them branded with the title of the paper to make sure that it stands out. After an initial reluctance to face facts about the rise of the internet and its effect on newspaper sales, just about every publisher in the UK has had to think long and hard about how they promote their titles. Metro came up with a great idea of distributing their papers free on trains and buses, so all they had to do was make sure that newspaper display racks on the trains and buses were full of their papers each morning.

Other publishers have invested heavily in television and radio advertising, but it appears that the best way to promote a paper is by pushing it at the point of sale within a shop. If you are a newsagent and want to find out more about branded acrylic stands and newspaper display stands visit www.trade-wind.co.uk where you will find some great ideas, including the modern newspaper kiosk.

Brochure Racks Can Boost Your Sales

Wednesday, May 19th, 2010

There is a misconception that only newsagents have a need to use magazine stands in their shop, but he truth is that many businesses use magazine display stands to promote themselves and their products. For instance, if you are running a cycle shop which sells top of the range bikes, you’ll know that the brochures which your brands supply to you are more like hefty magazines.

The best way to make sure your customers see these is to use magazine display stands which will ensure that they are easily seen by everyone who comes into your shop. What is the point of having an impressive range of glossy sales material if it is stuck away on a corner of the counter? If you install magazine stands near to your point of sale area, the chances of a customer picking up the brochures are a lot higher than if they are simply stacked up. And of course, once the customers eye has been caught by the brochures on the magazine display racks, this increases the chances of turning a passing interest into a solid sale. Staying with the cycle trade for a moment, the Tour de France is coming up soon, so why not install magazine stands for the cycling periodicals which always sell well during the Tour?

Whatever line of business you are in, Tradewind Displays can help you to maximise the full potential of your sales literature. We stock a wind range of brochure stands and brochure racks, as well as everything you will need from acrylic stands right through to pavement signs.

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!

Sandwich Boards Are Still Effective

Tuesday, May 11th, 2010

Since the early 19th century, when tradesmen hoisted them on to their backs to promote their products or skills, sandwich boards have been a regular feature on the streets of Britain. Nowadays they are more likely to be seen advertising two-for-one meals, cheap concert tickets or sun bed centres, but they remain a regular fixture despite the advent of more sophisticated forms of advertising. If you have any doubts about how effective sandwich boards are as an advertising tool, consider the story of the young graduate who found it impossible to find a job, despite having a good degree from Oxford.

After scouring the newspaper displays looking for a job there, he decided that sandwich boards were one way to get himself noticed. He wrote his details on the board, including his qualifications and contact details, and within two days he had landed a job, proving that when it comes to grabbing attention, sandwich boards are just as effective today as they were nearly two hundred years ago.

You may not be interested in using this form of adverting to promote your business, but you’ll know that advertising is essential, especially during the tough economic times we have been through recently.

Tradewind Displays have a wide range of equipment designed to make your product stand out from the crowd. Whatever it is you are selling, they will have be able to help, whether it is A boards, brochure display stands, brochure holders or acrylic stands. And if you were intrigued by that tale of the graduate, they can even supply sandwich boards to help you promote your business.

Politics At The Point Of Sale

Monday, May 3rd, 2010

With just a few days to go until the General Election, newsagents are looking forward to a rise in the sales of newspapers and magazines. Research has shown that during the run up to an election people who generally don’t buy a newspaper will purchase one, particularly if they describe themselves as a floating voter. The reasons that newspaper sales increase is an easy one to understand.

We’ve all seen and heard the various politicians telling us that they have the answers to putting things right in Britain at putting us at the forefront of world affairs, but it’s easy to get confused by the blizzard of statistics and facts which are hurled at us on an hourly basis. That is why the newspaper stands empty a lot faster than usual as voters turn to the experts who are writing for the papers to unravel the statistics for them and help them make their choice on the day of the election.

If you are a newsagent now is a good time to prepare yourself for this expected rise in business. Make sure that your magazine stands and newspaper displays are in good condition and that the branding on the front relates to the paper inside that newspaper display racks. If you feel that your newspaper displays are looking a little tired and worn, it’s not too late to order new newspaper display stands from Tradewind Displays. You can buy just about everything you need for your newsagent direct from their website, including acrylic stands and A boards.
