How to Choose Retail Equipment?

Choosing retail equipment is a very important step in fitting out a sales area. Successful sales largely depend on the product range, well-selected staff and, of course, high-quality retail equipment (shelving, stands, etc.). Vargo Company will help you choose the right retail equipment and then manufacture it.

So what should you pay attention to when choosing equipment for retail?

It can be universal or specialized (for a specific type of product). Using retail equipment for a product it wasn’t designed for can lead to inconvenience and loss of functionality. The dimensions of the piece also play a significant role — they need to look harmonious and comply with placement rules.

Equipment for goods must comply with sanitary and fire safety requirements. Shelving and other equipment should attract customers, be informative, promotional, and “speak” about the product, its advantages, and the manufacturer. That’s why almost every order for stands and shelving that Vargo Company receives is marked — branded. Our company has a whole team of professionals who will select products for successful sales. Only properly selected equipment will bring profit to a business.

Where to choose retail equipment for any commercial site?

Stands and shelving, shelves, dispensers, hooks, baskets and displays are essential elements in practically any retail space. Their main task is to arrange and advertise products as comfortably as possible. Making effective use of retail space is practically task #1.

You can choose retail equipment made from different materials, but it’s worth noting — metal products, used correctly, will last a fairly long time.

Are shelving and stands only for stores and supermarkets? Of course not. Retail equipment is needed for many commercial venues (beauty salons, clinics, etc.). When selecting or creating equipment, pay attention to how it fits with the design of the retail space. Simple, multifunctional equipment is the most common request.

Don’t forget that the following are important too:

  • shopping baskets (they make shopping much more convenient). When choosing them, consider metal baskets for fairly heavy goods and plastic ones for lighter goods;
  • anti-vandal equipment (here, mainly its presence and material strength matter). This kind of equipment is especially relevant when a product is placed outdoors, etc. For example, a drink cooler needs extra protection from thieves and vandals.

Recommendations

When choosing equipment for a sales area, we recommend paying attention to: its eco-friendliness, durability and functionality.

It also helps to write down the key points relating to the products you need. This helps our specialists prepare the most advantageous offer for you in the shortest possible time.

Hooks for Retail Panels

Relatively small, but very important in retail equipment — retail hooks. They’re used to display all kinds of products in stores.

Vargo Company manufactures custom hooks: for perforated stands, walls and shelving, for slatwall panels, for mesh. Hooks come both with and without price-tag holders. Price tags on hooks help your customers see the price, promotions, and product name.

When coating hooks, we use the powder-coating method, which makes the product durable. Powder coating is applied across a wide color spectrum. On request, we’ll provide RAL charts with all the available options.

Advantages of retail equipment hooks from Vargo Company:

  • High strength. Can hold heavy goods.
  • Simple installation. Everything is intuitive.
  • Ability to hold products in blister packaging.
  • Aesthetics. Hooks filled with product look organized.
  • Ability to attach a price tag.

Hooks for retail panels

Retail panels (slatwall) are a popular type of retail equipment, with excellent characteristics, a wide range of applications and incredible practicality. Such fixtures are quick and easy to reconfigure. For this, various shelves, pockets and hooks are used.

Hooks for retail panels are an essential and necessary addition. Nowadays, special hooks are designed for a specific group of products and mounting type:

  • for small products — items in packaging that has a hole for hanging. In this case, any single hook will work;
  • for large products. For medium and large items, we recommend hanging on a double hook;
  • if you need to hang a price tag, then almost any retail hook with a price-tag holder will work for you.

How to choose the right hook?

  • The mounting type matters. First of all, pay attention to the mounting type — it must match;
  • Hooks for retail panels designed for small goods and accessories can come in various types;
  • For displaying small toys, wire-type models will work, but for large toys a regular hook won’t be enough — wide, double variants are needed;
  • Chrome accessories should be chosen when the main part of the retail equipment is also finished in chrome.

Hooks aren’t a whim, but a necessity. You can reach out to our managers and they’ll help you choose the perfect option for your requirements and needs.

How to decide on the choice of brackets?

The most important thing is the mounting type: if your store is fitted with slatwall panels, then you should buy hooks for slatwall panels.

Zinc, chrome, or powder coating? Chrome and zinc have a silvery shade that fits into any store or supermarket design. The finishes are practically indistinguishable, though it’s worth noting that chrome is harder to scratch, but scratches on it are more noticeable. For many years we’ve been manufacturing retail hooks to all standards. Our team is ready to join your project.

Metal Retail Stands and Shelving

More and more products? Facing the question of how to place goods? Then it’s worth considering the most advantageous options. Metal stands and shelving — these are the ones with a huge number of advantages.

Metal stands and shelving are among the main types of retail equipment. When ordering such structures, you should take into account: their purpose, the product and its parameters, and the dimensions of the sales area. Products need to be placed not only attractively, but also conveniently for the customer.

Universal metal structures last longer than other alternatives. Metal stands and shelving are used everywhere: for food products, building materials, medicines, toys… The list is huge.

Advantages of metal shelving structures

Metal retail equipment is reliable, sturdy and lasts for many years. On request, we’ll manufacture metal products to the parameters and design you need. Other advantages include:

  • an attractive appearance;
  • easy assembly;
  • convenient placement and storage of goods;
  • space saving (especially with additional shelves and baskets);
  • easy maintenance — easy to wash and disinfect;
  • the ability to easily move stands (if fitted with casters);
  • quality and price that match one another.

Vargo Company manufactures various types of metal retail stands and shelving for different businesses.

Why choose retail equipment made of metal?

Durability. Metal is the most popular material in various types of construction, precisely because of its service life. Accordingly, shelving and other metal products are also durable.

Strength. Heavy goods aren’t a problem. Metal is a resilient material. Metal stands can hold products up to the weight specified in the technical brief. Metal stands are very often used for heavy equipment and tools.

Easy maintenance. Metal isn’t demanding when it comes to environmental exposure, but it has a weakness — high humidity is the enemy of metal, though it can be countered with anti-corrosion coatings. If you need to place stands outdoors, don’t worry — you won’t ruin the product.

Custom manufacturing. Vargo Company manufactures a wide variety of metal stands. Small tabletop, light wall-mounted or large floor-standing — we’ll make any of them. Perforated, double-sided, with hooks, baskets, and much more.

By buying a metal retail stand or metal retail shelving, you’re investing for years to come. For many, such stands last for decades. Over time, they can be upgraded, painted the color you need, and rebranded. You’ll recoup your investment in a very short time.

Our goal is to make the most efficient use of retail space. Use stands as an advertising tool. Order branded metal products — having extra pockets is a great solution for advertising flyers and leaflets.

In our work we take an individual approach to customer service and also provide a warranty on our products. Our prices are fair, since we’re manufacturers, not intermediaries.
