They’re not just for flower shops anymore! From gift shops and convenience stores to hotel lobbies and grocery stores,
many different kinds of businesses can benefit from offering floral displays to their customers.
So, the trick isn’t figuring out whether or not your business would benefit from a display rack of flowers; rather, the trick is figuring out how to best use these display racks. Read on for three ways to get started.
1. Think About the Flowers You Want to Display
It doesn’t really matter if you want to display fresh flowers or artificial flowers – your floral display containers will hold and display either. What you really need to think about is the number of flower bundles you want to display.
Floral display racks are available with different numbers of floral display containers. If you think you might only want to display and sell a few bundles of flowers, choose a rack with just a few containers; at the same time, if you plan to display and sell many bundles of flowers, choose a rack with a higher number of containers.
2. Think About Your Display Space
You can find floral display racks with as few as eight floral display containers and as many as twelve floral display containers. These containers are situated on or attached to racks. Naturally, the more containers there are, the larger the rack is going to be.
Determine where in your business you want to situate your floral display rack – whether it’s near your checkout counter, close to the frozen foods, or in your hotel’s lobby. This area is going to be your display space. Now, take a good look at how much space that area provides you. If it’s an ample amount of space, you’ll be able to get away with a larger floral display rack; if it’s a modest amount of space, however, you’ll want to choose a smaller or narrower display rack.
Also keep in mind that the larger the rack you choose, the more flowers you’ll be able to display and sell. If the space you have selected for your floral display only offers enough room for a small display rack – and selling as many bundles of flowers as you can is a priority for you – you might want to consider seeking out a larger area in your store to use as your display space.
3. Think About Your Store’s Décor
From plain plastic containers and glass fish bowls to wicker basket displays and retail wire racks, nearly every kind of merchandise display fixture is available in various sizes, shapes, styles, and colors. The same is true for floral display racks, and this allows you to choose the rack that’s going to work best with your store’s décor. For example, if your store is decorated in a contemporary style, you might want to choose a rack with black floral display containers. On the other hand, if your establishment has more of a charming feel to it, you might want to choose a rack with bronze floral display containers.
