How Can I Use Slatwalls for Exciting Grocery Store Fixtures?

Slatwalls are grooved panels, perfect for projecting hooks or hanging accessories like bins, shelves, and baskets. They are stationary grocery store fixtures, and can be used in any number of ways.

Use slatwalls to display …

• Holiday items. Slatwalls can be used to display seasonal goods and accessories. For spring, fill the bins with a selection of candy chicks and chocolate bunnies. For summer, consider a baseball, swim meet, or golfing theme. It's back-to-school time in late summer and early autumn; your slatwall will be the perfect place to hang school supplies like highlighters and spiral-bound notebooks. Thanksgiving, Hanukah, and Christmas-themed goodies can round out the year.

• Sales items. Slatwalls are the perfect place to display sales merchandise, discounted products, and discontinued items. Customers are always looking for a bargain, especially in this difficult economy. People will appreciate your having a special place for discounted stuff.

• Birthday cake decorations. Tubes of frosting, jars of sprinkles, candles, gag gifts and cake-top toys, as well as other cake decorating accessories can be hung on your slatwall. Slatwalls display items right at eye-level, making them impossible to miss. Customers will be able to find just what they're looking for, and maybe get ideas for birthdays yet to come.

• Toys. Most grocery stores have a small selection of inexpensive toys and games for children. Consider paneling your toy section with slatwalls. Hooks near the top and baskets near the bottom will display toys for the delight of children and the convenience of their parents.

• Envelope mixes. Everyone likes to save time, and envelope mixes are a convenient way to make gravies, sauces, and other delicious foods. A half-panel slatwall with some hanging bins will give you plenty of room to display envelope mixes for mashed potatoes, fried chicken breading, and spaghetti sauce.

• Bottles of spices. Spices and garnishments can be displayed in hanging bins and baskets on your slatwall. More grocery store fixtures will mean more room to display unusual spices. The gourmet cooks in your neighborhood will appreciate the opportunity to use something different.

Slatwalls are useful grocery store fixtures. And these are only a few of the ways you can use them! Buy a few slatwalls and put them to work. You'll find they give you lots of happy customers, and a healthy bottom line.
