Get Noticed Using Promotional Display Stands and Signs!

Posted on March 7, 2013 by Metropolitan Display

Promotional Display Stands and SignsJust because you open a retail store doesn’t mean customers will feel compelled to drop in and browse around. The old adage “If you build it, they will come” does not account for what all retailers need to consider—advertising, promotion and building a brand identity.

 

Using promotional display stands and signs, however, are an affordable way to stand out, increase foot traffic and spark a buzz.

 

Simple But Smart

 

A-frame signs, curb and sidewalk signs, signicades and changeable message signs afford retailers the opportunity to announce, engage and spark an interest. They are a form of in-your-face advertising people can’t help but notice.

 

Promotional display stands like bulletin holder stands, banner and poster stands are also useful tools to inform walk or drive-by consumers and build your brand identity.

 

These simple, yet smart solutions to getting your retail store noticed are often overlooked by retailers who think creating the perfect interior displays is the only way to drive sales.

 

Sign Tips and Promotions

 

Now that you know you need outdoor promotional display stands and signs, what’s the best way to use them?

 

Swinger Signs

Sidewalk Signs and Changeable Outdoor Sign

Signicades for retail stores

 

Also known as A-frame and curb stands, signicades come in a variety of colors. We’ve all seen these prominently placed outside retail venues and the uses are endless.

 

Basic A-frame sigicades will hold 24” by 36” inserts and because of their “A” design, consumers will see your message from both sides. We also offer signicades with printed custom inserts using your artwork.

 

Dry erase signicades are an awesome way to announce daily events or sale, a café menu or discount days. Because these are easily changed, they help to build brand identity. Passers-by will notice them and soon look forward to what’s new or what’s happening.

 

Signicades with lettering kits are also great promotional display stands. Each of our changeable letter signicades comes with 350 letters and numbers so you can change your message as often as you wish without having to print new graphics.

Online Display Advertising vs. Offline Display Advertising

Posted on March 5, 2013 by Metropolitan Display

Offline Retail Display TipsRecently, we came across an interesting article on Small Business Computing, “5 Tips to Make Small Business Display Advertising Work” and wondered if online vs. offline display advertising is different or do they rely on the same basic components?

 

We thought we look at some online display ad tips and compare them to retail displays to see if they are similar in idea and preparation, score them and pick a winner!

 

1. Target Audience

 

With online displays you need to ensure the ads you put on your website or social media pages are or will reach your target market. That means choosing pay-per-click demographics to engage your target audience.

 

With retail displays, while there should be some determined effort on what you want to convey whether the message is on a swinger sidewalk sign or bulletin holder, because retail displays are seen by so many demographics, you can sort of skip worrying about reaching the “right” market.

 

Stunning and noticeable retail displays are very eye-appealing and they do draw the consumer in—no matter the age, sex or income level.

 

Our Winner: Offline Display Advertising

 

2. Connecting with Banner Ads

 

Bulletin HoldersOnline banner ads must be engaging and full of colorful imagery. Beyond that, they must not annoy and have clearly marked places to close the banner ad.

 

Offline ad efforts such as using banner stands and informational display products don’t annoy but invite. The viewer can choose to look (and with custom inserts that offer great company info it’s hard not to look) or take a brochure or flyer with them to learn more.

 

In addition, with display promotional ad tools that pop, there’s never a need for clicking on the ad, the offline display engages without clicking—and then tracking the IP address of the consumer.

 

Our Winner: Offline Display Advertising

 

3. Calls to Action

 

Roadside Bulletin Board SignsProduct descriptions or service offerings online need to engage meaning you need to create a call to action (CTA). An example may be a radio button where customers can “Get a Free Quote” or “Save 10% Now.” These do help—even within blog posts about your industry written and posted on your website.

 

Brick and mortar retailers can also achieve calls to action with swinger curb signs, sidewalk signs, signicades and roadside billboard signs. The viewer of the offline ad doesn’t need to click a radio button, they simply see the CTA as they walk or drive past it.

 

Both are very effective, but online CTAs can also include buttons like buy it now or prominently show pricing. And, the person doesn’t have to go anywhere if they want to buy an item—they simply click the button, add it to their cart and checkout.

 

Our Winner: A Tie

 

4. Optimize Your Landing Page

 

Retail Poster FramesThe idea behind online landing pages is to match the banner display ads with the landing page content. For example, if you’ve got a landing page describing one specific product, the banner promotions on that webpage should entice the viewer to buy the product.

 

Retail displays and signage do the same but in a see, feel and touch sort of way. Attractive displays that are organized with design flair are attention-grabbing. Instead of a constant online banner ad nagging you to buy the product, why not create stunning retail displays and use signage to invite, announce and inform?

 

Our Winner: Offline Display Advertising

 

 

5. Lead Tracking

 

Both online and offline retailers should have a way to track their leads. Brick and mortar retailers can use methods like big data collection via requests for phone numbers or emails. The same can be said for online retailers.

 

Here, technology does help. There are many ways to track leads affordably with software dedicated to sales and closing the deal—goal setting as well.

 

Sidewalk Signs and Changeable Outdoor SignAnd, if you use human lead tracking in the form of a question: “How did you find us?” or “What made you stop in today?” the effort is in asking the question and then manually tracking responses.

 

Our Winner: Online Display Advertising

 

So, in comparison, out of the five tips offered, offline display advertising gained a 3.5 score out of a 1.5 score for online display ads.

 

Does that mean you should discontinue your online ad efforts? Absolutely not! What this does mean is display and promotional products will enhance and entice and above all, they’re not picky about demographics—they reel them all in. So be sure to make both your online and offline ad efforts similar for brand building.

 

Be sure to find us on Facebook and for the month of March 2013, all our Swinger Signs are 10% off, simply use Swinger10 as the checkout promo code or just mention the code during your phone order!

Making the Most of Sidewalk and Changeable Outdoor Signs

Posted on March 4, 2013 by Metropolitan Display

Sidewalk Signs and Changeable Outdoor SignAcross the U.S, retailers, hotel managers and restaurant owners are gearing up for Spring! Now is the time to restock and prepare for Spring customers. There’s no better way to prepare than by investing in sidewalk signs and changeable outdoor signs.

 

Fishing and Reeling Them In

 

One could look at outdoor advertising as the sport of fishing. The signicades, swinger signs and changeable message signs you place outside your establishment are the “bait” and once in, your products reel customers in and close the deal.

 

Outdoor signage  is hard for those in cars or walking on sidewalks to miss—people can’t help but notice them.  In shopping and eating districts, the retailers that take advantage of outdoor signage win the customer. Why? Because they are offering information that piques the interest of the average consumer.

 

The “information” may be a welcome in, but it can also include things like sale announcements, restaurant menus, deals of the day or even the price of a hotel room or what’s brewing in the coffee shop.

 

Interruption Marketing

 

Changeable Message Signs with Letter KitsWhen consumers walk the streets of shopping districts—even if they are in route to work or on an errand, sidewalk signs and changeable outdoor signs serve as a form of interruption marketing.

 

Interruption market is just what it sounds like.  It is a form of communicating with consumers in a way that “interrupts” their current activity.

 

The key to making the best use of outdoor signage is ensuring:

 

The message is clear

The sign is prominently placed

No words are misspelled and proper grammar is used

Mixing up your message on a consistent basis to keep consumers interested

 

Even if your establishment is not in the heart of your town’s shopping and eating district, Metropolitan Display also has outdoor signage options for you such as our roadside billboard sign with changeable message board.

 

The key is to use them creatively and “interrupt” the lives of those walking on the street or driving by your establishment.

 

Additional Signage Options

 


Roadside Bulletin Board SignsBrowse through our entire lineup of swinger signs which includes lettering kits, erasable message signs and neon-marker swinger curb/sidewalk signs. We offer both black and white durable, high-quality signs built to last.

 

We also carry rolling signs for easy maneuvering and our swinger signs come in 24” x 36” and 32” by 52” to help announce, entice and engage consumers.

 

Taking Advantage of Outdoor Signage Discounts

 

Throughout the month of March 2013, all of Metropolitan Display’s swinger curb/sidewalk signs are 10 percent off (promo code swinger10—or if placing a phone order, just mention the code to one of our operators).

 

Swinger Curb Sidewalk SignBecause Spring—and then Summer—are just around the corner, now is the time to utilize outdoor signage options and “interrupt” consumers. And, as with all the display products we sell, you can order online or call us and place an order.

 

Advertise with sidewalk signs and changeable outdoor signs and because all of our products are deeply discounted, you’ll see the return on your ad investment quickly.

5 Sure-Fire Ways to Ruin Your Product Displays

Posted on February 28, 2013 by Metropolitan Display

5 Sure Fire Ways to Ruin Your Product DisplaysDisplaying products the right way is actually an art. It takes imagination, innovation and creativity to come up with stunning displays. Eye-appealing displays also take time and forethought and consumers can easily tell which displays were put together quickly compared to those where the designer took the time to ensure the display achieved its purpose.

 

We’ve offered tips on how to create stunning displays but here, we take a look at five ways to ruin your display—don’t let these pitfalls harm your display message or appearance.

 

1. What Am I Looking At?

 

Whether you’re designing a trade show or expo display or retail or commercial display, you need to imagine the final look. If it’s too busy, consumers will lose interest. They’ll also wonder what in the heck they’re looking at!

 

Your product line may be theme-related; say outdoor gear, but if you haphazardly place the products with no real division or type, consumers may not quite get what it is you’re trying to achieve.

 

Clearly marked and divided-by-product displays that are eye-appealing and balanced will gain more interest.

 

2. No Informational Materials

 

Discount Business PrintingYou may have the most attention-getting display but you lack the one thing people want—more information. We’re not talking about a demonstration but informational materials like brochures  and flyers—even business cards with contact information.

 

There are ways to save money on all your business printing needs—especially those promotional materials people want to take along with them after being at your booth, in your store or at a conference.

 

3. Viewer Interaction

 

iPad Display HoldersIt doesn’t matter where the display is—if you don’t give the audience or shopper a chance to see, feel and touch your products, they’ll move on and forget all about you. Nothing is worse than failing to engage the consumer.

 

Fix this by offering product demos or using electronic displays like iPad holders where attendees or shoppers can learn more, see beautiful imagery and get a feel for your products.

 

4. Abandoned Displays

 

There are two ways you can abandon a display. If you’re an exhibitor or conference holder and you’re nowhere to be found, how can attendees ask questions? Who do they turn to learn more or get contact info? Never leave your display booths or spaces unattended.

 

The second way is to create a stunning retail display and then once the products start to sell, you allow emptiness to takeover. One might think a bare shelf means a popular product is sold out, but you may just need to restock it. If you’re out of inventory, use bulletin holders to inform when the popular product will be available. Get an email list of customers who want the unavailable product and don’t drop the ball on contacting them once you’ve restocked.

 

5. Using Out-Dated Display Elements

 

Tower Grid Panel DisplaysScratched and worn display elements like grid panels, signs, banners, flags and garment racks don’t portray confidence. Consumers will feel if you don’t care enough to invest in the items you need to display your products, you really don’t care about your products either.

 

Invest in commercial grade, high-quality product display items to ensure your products are always offered in a fresh and clean light.

 

Stand Back and Analyze

 

Look at your display designs as a consumer, not as the product seller. What may look good to you may appear complicated to the viewer.

 

A crisp display that delivers is by far the best and consumers will notice the bad ones.

The Challenge of Being a Multiple Display Manager

Posted on February 26, 2013 by Metropolitan Display

Tips for Multiple Display ManagersIf you’re in charge of many display duties whether you’re in the hotel, restaurant or retail business making each display consistent can be challenging. Each business chain will have their own unique style and location.

 

Location is probably your biggest challenge as displays may need to offer all types of feels from fast-paced cities to the mid-west to the southwest.

 

Designing these displays means finding affordable and discounted display items that are durable and long-lasting and also easy to use across the board, no matter where the location of the hotel, restaurant or retail store.

 

The Business of Bulk Buying

 

Discount Garment RacksMost multiple display managers will buy their display items in bulk—it makes sense because bulk-buying saves money. Some managers face the challenge of ensuring displays are franchisor-chain specific with exact design matching. Still others must work with local managers who know what their customers look for in design, comfort and appearance.

 

No matter what category you fall in—and you probably fall in all three—Metropolitan Display has always offered discounted bulk buying and we continually offer new display items to our inventory list on a regular basis.

 

Popular Must-Haves

 

From lobbies to conference rooms to restaurant common areas, we have many best sellers to make your display challenges minimal.

 

Lobbies and Common Areas

 

For these areas you need to rely on commercial grade garment racks, brochure holder displays and pedestal stand for informational or meet and greet purposes.

 

Some of our top sellers include:

 

Discount Formal Pedestal StandsDouble-Bar Straight Garment Rack – These are not only attractive must-haves, some access
ories to complement these racks include grid topper baskets, z-braces and add-on hanging rails for additional space

 

Formal Pedestal Stand – With twin extra thick straight fixed poles and a rectangular base, this front loading pedestal stand fits in any lobby or common area with ease. In addition to our formal stands, we also offer many other pedestal stands and custom printed inserts.

 

Brochure Displays – These are also one of our most popular items for common areas and lobbies. Not only do we offer single brochure displays for insertion around common areas, we also offer wire and multiple holder acrylic brochure holders for single-area viewing or easy access.

 

Conferences

 

As a multiple display manager, many of the hotels and restaurants need your help with conference displays such as poster frames, bulletin holders, tables and our latest best-seller—electronic iPad displays.

 

Discount Conference TablesTables – Whether you need tables for seating or conference sign-in, we have the furniture you seek. We carry both portable and folding tables for easy convenience. All of our tables are of top quality and again, when buying in bulk, you’ll save even more.

 

Poster Frames – Along with pedestal stands, poster frames are also useful for conference announcements or promotional displays. Need custom printed inserts? Not a problem at Metropolitan Display.

 

Bulletin Holders – We carry many styles of bulletin holders and throughout the month of February 2013, all of them at 10% off (just enter promo code STAND10 at checkout). From single tier to three tier, these holders can direct, promote and inform conference attendees.

 

Electronic iPad Displays – For staying interactive with the conference crowd, iPad displays are hot these days. They make presentation easy and we offer both table top or floor displays for easy interaction.

 

Organize Like a Pro

 

iPad floor stand displaysEvery multiple display manager needs to have some tricks up their sleeve and we make that easy for you—to keep  display inventory in stock at the various locations and venues where you are the go-to person.

 

Don’t forget we also offer business printing services where you’ll save 25% every day!

5 Tips to Get Customers Into Your Retail Store

Posted on February 24, 2013 by Metropolitan Display

How to Get Foot Traffic Into Your StoreIf you own a retail store of any size, you need foot traffic in order to sell your products. With consumers more wise about where they are spending their disposable income dollars you need to gain an edge over your competitors and reel customers in. The following five tips will help drive traffic and interest.

 

1. Are You Online?

 

We don’t mean do you sell online (and good for you’re already doing so). We mean, does your retail store have an online presence? Do you have a Facebook and Twitter page? Are you pinning products to Pinterest?

 

Beyond these free social media venues, you should also have a LinkedIn business page and a Google+ business page.  With so many people on the Internet, one of the quickest ways to reach them is via social media—and it’s free.

 

2. Offer a Product Demo or Workshop

 

Discount Display TablesYou can gain interest in your products if you hold product demonstrations and workshops where consumers can see, feel and touch your products.

 

Make the demo or workshop enjoyable by offering plenty of seating, refreshments and wrap it up with a Q&A session. Make sure you have great display tables and plenty of brochures for people to take with them after they leave.

 

Another helpful aid is to offer a drawing for a chance to win a product and hold the drawing after the demo or workshop.

 

3. One-Day Sales

 

Signicades for retail storesHolding a one-day super sale may sound old-fashioned but the word “sale” grabs the attention of every consumer.

 

Be sure to advertise your sale to get the most foot traffic to your retail store. Metropolitan display also offers may ways to announce your one-day sale such as changeable message signs and signicades.

 

Bulletin holders are also great ways to advertise the big event and throughout the month of February 2013, all of our bulletin holders are 10% off (just use promo code STAND10 at checkout).

 

4. Attractive and Appealing Displays

 

Grid Panel DisplaysNothing turns shoppers off more than displays that are too close together or shelves stacked so tightly they can’t find what they want.

 

Recently, we offered a great post on how to make your retail space shine and not only will you find some great ideas, you’ll also find a link to retail space floor plan software to help you design your displays to engage shoppers.

 

You’ll also learn how to make the most of your space by taking advantage of wall space with grid panel displays and separate product areas with poster frames.

 

5. Stay In Contact With Customers

 

Discount Business PrintingFollowing-up with customers and staying in contact with them does drive sales. Do this by obtaining email addresses and sending out coupons, newsletters and upcoming information about store happenings.

 

Think of this scenario. You have a customer come in and while they like a certain product, they need to think it over or just aren’t ready to buy. If you don’t stay in touch with them and drop the ball, they will forget about you, feel your customer service is poor and buy the product from another retailer.

 

Make sure you have plenty of promotional materials for customers to take with them and Metropolitan Display can help with all your business printing needs; where you’ll always save up to 25%!

 

Successful Selling

 

Using these top five tips to get customers into your retail store do work and we are always ready to help your retail space and displays shine with our deeply discounted display products.

5 Tips for Creating Eye-Grabbing Retail Displays

Posted on February 21, 2013 by Metropolitan Display

How to Design a Retail DisplayThere’s a reason large retailers succeed. Sure one can say it’s due to their volume and variety of inventory but there is also a concentrated effort on how their retail displays are designed—to engage the consumer.

 

Smaller retailers can achieve the same effect whether located in a strip mall, shopping mall, kiosk or a boutique in any city or town.

 

1. What Do Your Customers See First?

 

Walk into your retail space with a customer’s hat on. What you see first? Is your focal point attractive to the eye or do you have no real design? Is your inventory categorized and organized or does it have no rhyme or reason?

 

An unorganized space isn’t attractive so think about using your top sellers as a focal point. Use grid panel displays to showcase your focal point and think about contrasting colors to make it pop.

 

One tip expert merchandisers utilize is making a top seller the focal point and then adding items nearby that complement the top seller. For example, if you sell summer dresses and display them in an eye-appealing way with Z or garment racks, have another rack nearby that’s full of scarves to match your dress line.  Consumers will often buy complementing items if they are nearby and within reach. You may also want to consider mannequin forms to showcase your apparel.

 

Retail Poster Frames2. Display Like the Experts

 

Color and balance play a big part in designing your retail display. Don’t place too many dark colors at the top or your display will look unbalanced; the same goes for the ends of display racks or shelves. Make sure colors blend nicely throughout the display.

 

Take the time to put some effort into this element of designing your retail space. You need eye-appealing displays to invite the consumer to stop and browse.

 

If your space looks like a block of everything, it will appear too challenging and shoppers will avoid it.

 

3. Area Identifiers

 

Think about when you go to a large retailer or unfamiliar grocery store. Your eyes look for store item identifiers that tell you where the products you seek are located.

 

Get 10% off Bulletin HoldersEven if your retail space is small you can do this with wall mounted posters or bulletin holders to inform your customers where they can find what they seek. In fact, the smaller the space, the harder it may be to find the wanted item.

 

Metropolitan Display has many poster signs and bulletin holders (all bulletin holders are 10% off for the month of February 2013 – promo code STAND10) to aid you in creating area identifiers.

 

4. Store Layout

 

Discount Garment RacksOne of the hardest challenges new retailer face is designing the right store layout. You’ve rented the space but where to put racks and shelves, display tables and your cash register station?

 

This can seem inundating when looking at an empty retail space! About.com offers a great post on store layout software from the free to the paid variety.

 

If you’re in a new space, taking the necessary steps to design your retail space layout is essential.

 

5. Are You In the Dark?

 

Once you’ve designed your floor plan, stacked your shelves, creating stunning grid displays and have garment racks that attract there is one final tip to creating a great retail space—how well can you see it?

 

Appropriate lighting is an absolute must! Invest in LED lights that last longer and utilize your floor plan software to choose the best lighting spots.

 

Stores with Style

 

Signicade and Sidewalk StandsThese five tips for creating a great retail space will ensure shopper feel warm and welcome in your store. As a bonus tip, we also recommend considering the outside of your retail space using signicade/sidewalk stands for sales, promotions, discounts or even a simple, welcome to our store!

See How Grid Panel Displays Can Change Your Retail Space!

Posted on February 19, 2013 by Metropolitan Display

Tower Grid Panel DisplaysTake a look around your retail display area. If your products are stuffed into shelves, hard to sort through or find or you’re running out of display room, have you thought about taking advantage of grid panel displays? Also known as gridwall displays, these consist of wall racks, hooks and various sizes of baskets you can utilize to make your retail space shine.

 

Start with the Grid Panels

 

First, measure the wall areas where you want to place grid panels. You’ll also want to determine if you have space for floor stand grid panel displays at ends of aisles, in the entryway or another optimal place in your retail space.

Finally, we also carry four-sided rolling cross base floor panel grid display combos which is a top seller and one of our favorites. Or choose from a rolling gondola base floor standing grid display combo kit that includes a commercial grade gondola base and two floor stands.

 

In this blog post we’ve inserted some images of our grid panel displays and browsing the many varieties is a must do after measuring and planning for your retail display.

 

Baskets and Hooks

Our most popular basket model is our universal narrow basket that is 12 inches wide by 6 inches deep by 6 inches in height and sold in cases of six. We also offer these baskets in 12” x 12” x 8” and 12” x 12” by 5” in cases of six.

 

Our sloped basket is also a retailer favorite with a size of 12 inches wide by 12 inches deep by 8 inches in height and has a sturdy 4-inch front—also sold in cases of six.

 

Our hooks are essential to creating the best displays for your retail space. Available in chrome and black, they come in packs of 100 (we can do a smaller order if needed) and hooks are available in 2, 4, 8, 6, 10 or 12 inches for maximum display use.

Planning is essential but it doesn’t have to be difficult. SmartDraw offers a free retail space design download software package that allows you to insert retail space dimensions and add elements to see exactly how your grid panel displays will fit!
