Tradewind: Magazine Displays and Beyond

Tuesday, July 27th, 2010

The street vendor is just as ever-present as they have ever been. However, nowadays, they are facing an existential threat, and with the advent of e-commerce, the high-street is losing some of its pertinence. With this in mind then, it is especially important in the modern context that newspaper sellers et al are effective. This means, essentially, that their magazine displays are effective.

Luckily, at Tradewind we’ve got everything you need to create an effective display/stall.

Vending Kiosks

Vending kiosks still exert their presence on the high street, and are still a highly effective sales environment. On the one hand, they are too compact to accommodate newspaper stands. This does not necessarily come at a disadvantage, as they are compact solutions and offer a good level of weather resistance and durability.

Whilst vending kiosks are a great permanent or semi-permanent solution, at Tradewind we also offer a range of portable promotional stands, which differ as their primary function is promotion rather than point of sale.

They are also different because they are engineered for portability rather than durability and permanence, which makes them ideal for exhibitions etc, where expedient erection of a promotional stand is desirable.

So, you might come to Tradewind for the newspaper stands – but maybe you should stay for the other great display, point of sale and promotional products that we offer, facilitating your brand effectiveness. All you have to do is decide what it is you want or need, and let us know.

Newspaper Displays – key types

Friday, July 23rd, 2010

Superficially, newspaper display is a fairly simple matter. However, if you really want your newspaper displays to be optimized, then you will need to carefully consider the kind of display, and the method of display, that will afford you the best kind of vendor customer interaction.

The ideal style of newspaper stands for your specific requirement will hinge on a variety of factors: do you value space saving methods of display over methods that facilitate advertising? The answer to this will of course depend on your particular circumstance, and the nature of your stall/kiosks.

Multi-tier Display

If you have the space available, multi-tier newspaper display stands are a hugely effective way, not only to facilitate the sale of newspapers, but also to advertise their presence to potential customers. Of course, as they are free standing they will require a considerable amount of floor space, and would not be quite as effective for modest stalls.

Other Solutions

At Tradewind, as well as highly effective newspaper display stands, we also stock a wide variety of other newspaper display solutions, to suit a wide range of applications. For example, if newspapers are your only product then street seller stands are the ideal compact outdoor solution.

Or perhaps you want a thoroughly modern, yet highly affordable, solution for your newspaper display stands? In which case moulded stands are a great alternative to traditional wire or metal displays.

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.

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.
