Store fixturing is no easy task. However, you can make the job easier if you know the exact needs of your store as well as your customers’ preferences. Customer-friendliness is number one when choosing store fixtures, though it is also important to note things such as ample space, extra storage, and eye-catching presentation. Here are some useful tips for choosing retail store fixtures that are both functional and customer-friendly:
1.   Modernize. You may be tempted to reuse old store fixtures from your previous location, but before you do so, consider the design and style of your new space. If your old fixtures are still in good condition, consider refurbishing them to make them more suitable for your current space. Modernizing your fixtures brings your store to the future — something that will attract new customers.
2.   Get creative. Your store fixtures can only do so much in making your merchandise look good. It is up to you to bring your displays to the next level. Make use of different merchandising tricks to get your products noticed and pay attention to eye-catching arrangements to transform customer curiosity to good profit.
3.   Think like your customer. Whether your target market is diverse or more focused on a certain demographic, always consider your customers’ preferences. The same goes with how you create your store’s layout and store fixturing. Make plenty of room for browsing instead of stuffing the whole space with bulky display units that leave less and less floor space.

When planning your retail store’s layout, always remember that less is more. The key is to figure out how you can maximize sales per square foot and determine which spots are likely to get most traffic, so that you can position most of your display fixtures in that area. Display cases layout sets the tone for the whole store, so the more organized your store fixtures are, the smoother your customer traffic and the better your chances of making a sale. Store floor plans largely depend on the space, shape, and location of the retail area. The following are examples of basic floor plans that you can use for your own retail space:
1.   Straight floor plan— Ideal for stores with wide floor and wall spaces, a straight floor pan is an economical design that makes use of fixtures to create small spaces and rows to move around. This type of display cases layout is suitable if you need large quantities of items displayed all at once, as you have plenty of display units to utilize.
2.   Diagonal floor plan —Unlike the straight layout, the diagonal layout puts your display cases in diagonal or slanting positions, creating the illusion of a bigger floor space (even though display cases positioned this way actually take more space). This layout is appropriate for stores with less items to display.
3.   Geometric/Angular floor pan— If you want to make use of display units with different geometric configurations, then a geometric or angular floor plan is an ideal choice, allowing you to arrange your fixtures according to the angle and geometrical shape of your displays.
4.   Mixed floor plan — Larger store spaces leave plenty of room for more than one layout. Mixed floor plans are often a combination of straight and diagonal layouts.
You will find top-quality, space-saving display units at Tecno Display. Choose from all kinds of store fixtures, from jewelry cases to wall displays, large cabinets, and other retail display options.

Shadow boxes are among the simplest forms of display units and are especially useful for displaying smaller items like sports awards, photos, medals, and similar types of memorabilia. Custom millwork for these types of displays is offered by manufacturers like Tecno Display. When you have unique specifications to apply, customization is ideal. Since wood is a very versatile material, it can be shaped into almost any type of design you might like. You can even add additional engravings to make you unit unique. Engraved shadow boxes make great gifts for family members who are retiring from the service or for athlete-friends who have plenty of awards that they just never got around to displaying. Military logos, emblems, or initials can be engraved for a more personalized effect.
Custom millwork can also be applied to other types of display units apart from small shadow boxes. The manufacturer you choose to work with might offer full customization, starting from the production of materials to be used on a specific piece down to the finishing touches. While customized display units can be a bit more expensive, they actually save you money in the long run. It’s a good idea to invest in a customized unit than to purchase a factory made piece only to have it altered or remade to meet your specific requirements later on. Custom work is more time efficient and will save you a great deal of money. Tecno Display not only offers a wide array of readymade display units, but also an excellent customization deal for those who want to create a piece from their own design. When doing custom work, you are in control not only of the design but also the measurements and additional components. If you are interested, call 800 255 3536.

Setting up display cases for universities does not only lift up the spirits of athletes and academic achievers. It can also boost school spirit and make each student strive for the best in their own little ways. When choosing a display unit for school use, it is important to determine what type of space it will be placed in, as well as the kind of awards or display items that would go into the unit.
Trophy cases are the most commonly used display cases for universities, and they sure do a great job when it comes to showcasing as well as keeping awards, trophies and medals safe and protected from the elements. Tecno Display offers a wide selection of these display units, including trophy displays that are large enough to accommodate large football cups, cheerleading trophies, and similar types of awards.
It is also important to think about where these display cases would go. Hallways can be used for displaying awards, but having a dedicated space for these types of installations is often a much better option for universities expecting a growing collection of achievements.

Designing a trade show display can be a very rewarding yet challenging task. You have to achieve maximum exposure, proper lighting, and many more. If you intend to join a lot of trade shows in order to promote your products, investing on exhibit glass pedestals might be a good idea. These types of display units are often found in museums and galleries, holding priced pieces of art and even important historical artifacts. But they’re not just for museums – in fact, the best trade show setups often incorporate exhibit glass pedestals in order to properly highlight the special items.
When designing displays, presentation is everything. Exhibit glass pedestals can instantly make any item seem very precious, thereby making it stand out. More often than not, you won’t need any other extra presentation aids (like backdrops or standees) for as long as you have a glass pedestal on hand. They are very easy to set up and instantly grab the audience’s attention, which is what you want, especially when you’re competing with many other exhibits in a trade show setting.
Tecno Display offers a wide selection of glass pedestals for retailers, business owners, exhibitors, and gallery owners. We use only the most durable materials, and our designs are all thought up by a creative team of designers, and then made by skilled craftsmen that ensure quality, style, and function in each display piece.

As a retailer, you want to give your customers the best shopping experience ever. This is why smart planning that utilizes and maximizes your retail space is very important. A crowded store isn’t as fun to visit as a spacious, well organized shop with a lot of floor space to move around in. Store display cabinets can sometimes be bulky, but by using the right types of display units for your space, you can create a very easy to navigate and spacious store where customers will be happy to spend their whole shopping hour in.
A store that facilitates traffic has more potential to sell, as opposed to a crowded store that can barely accommodate 10 customers at a time. Tecno Display is one of the best places to go to when looking for highly functional, stylish, and lasting display units for retail, home, or office use. They carry a wide range of display cabinets and retail fixtures that can help save and maximize functionality at the same time.
Store display cabinets that take up less floor space can make a retail space more navigable. You often don’t need elaborate configurations to achieve a sense of spaciousness, because simple, ready-made display units – when placed smartly around a regularly shaped store – can do the trick. The trick is to group products together and create sections per department, especially when you are selling a wide array of items. Choose display units that have built in storage so you can easily rotate displayed items, making it seem like you have new stocks every day, or at least every week.
Tecno Display offers affordable, high-quality and beautifully made and designed display cabinets and units for different purposes. We have exhibit units, retail displays, and even home and office displays to satisfy all kinds of requirements.
