Better price in store equipment package
Planning your store equipment? Don’t forget to think about your shop mannequins for hot spots and store windows. Why? There is an easy answer – it’s consistency. And it’s the price. If you decide to purchase them from another supplier, it may increase your costs. Buying a package of store equipment from one supplier often is less expensive. And involves less co-ordination and trouble.
Display fixtures and stands visual consistency
Purchasing mannequins that match the style of the store and the size of display fixtures also ensures visual consistency. And this is one of the elements that affects customer experience. Also, the entire retail industry is competing for the best first impression. Downplaying the importance of display mannequins can prove to be very costly.
Quick WOW or… OUCH/ UGHH
Store mannequins are a piece of store fixtures that provides a quick WOW effect. Or can effectively discourage a purchase. Customers can see low quality material and poor manufacturing at first glance. And the platforms where you want to put your mannequins if they are too large or too small might be an eye sore. In short: if you want to succeed, you need to focus on details. And it’s worth taking care of them from the very beginning.
