Define the display
- Wall, island, end-cap or checkout use
- Product size and packaging
- Shelf depth and spacing
- Hooks, square tubes or price strips
- Signage and ticketing needs
Plan circulation
- Customer aisle width
- Checkout counter flow and POS area
- Promotion locations
- Restocking access
- End-display visibility
Finish and accessories
Separate white/black steel shelving from wood-grain shelving because dimensions and construction details differ. Confirm accessory lengths, price-strip colour and checkout counter requirements before comparing quotations.
Common mistakes
- Choosing colour before layout
- Forgetting replenishment access
- Using end caps as if they were long aisles
- Inferring shelf levels that were not supplied
