I have the opportunity to set up some PC info on a table at work in our retail store. I'm trying to decide what would be best to put out. I have the monthly special, some catalogs, and and the display cards of some of the products (knives, cookware, etc.)
Anyone have ideas on what else would be good? I appreciate your help!
 
If it's an unmanned table, I'd set out mini catalogs or old catalogs with the old catalog poem on the front. (see below) Recipe cards are good, too. Just make sure that your name is on EVERYTHING that's on the table, and don't put out anything you aren't prepared to lose.Old catalog poem - I print this on 10 to a page labels with my info at the bottom of the label.
Though the date on this catalog may be old
Just look inside and you'll be sold.
Many fine products you will see.

I guess you would call it an unmanned table, but it's in a retail store that an employee will be covering. Either way, I agree that I don't want to risk stuff that I would be sorry to lose! :-)
I like that poem! I had seen it before but couldn't find it again. :-) We are going after fundraisers too since my boss is well known in the community and is using our office to host some, so I've got a flyer up with "Why choose a PC fundraiser?" and I'm going to set out some HWC pins since I have a huge abundance.
 
There are some flyers available on supply order (I think they're still available) about FRs. I do recommend that whatever you have out for people to take is a full-color item produced by HO. They look more professional and make PC look like a real business. (Not that there aren't some fabulous things created by people around here, just that in some areas it's an uphill battle to get people to think of us as businesspeople and not flaky hobbyists.)I would recommend having just a few of each item out on the table, with a box for frequent restocking stashed underneath the table.

Cool, I had never even seen those listed before! I wish there was somewhere I could see pictures of all the things on the supply order. I have gotten some stuff I don't know what to do with because it wasn't what I guessed at when I ordered it just by seeing the name. :-) I like the idea of these more anyway. My boss is very professional and has high standards, and the only stipulation that I have to keeping the table is that it is up to the standards of our company. I'll take all the help I can get, I'm ordering those right now! :-)

There is, it's behind CC. If I remember correctly, go to managing your business. Then samples/supplies. Then supply description. Hope that helps, there may be a few more tabs but I know I did it sometime this week to check on something.
 
Ann.....all excellent ideas:sing:....thanks for sharing! Going to use them and hope for the best!:D
 
I did a table and I cut each page of a catalog and stapled it to a postboard and made it eyecatching by coloring in different letters. I also made a posterboard of the what the hostess gets for hosting and made that eyecatching. Also use eyecatching colorful things to attract people. Also raffle off something to get people to give you info. Then you could follow up withthem.

So you had the whole catalog stapled to a board? How big was it?

I looked for under managing your business and couldn't find it so I kept looking and found it under "Download Center"

Scrol down until you see " Supply Order Fact Sheet " click on that

Thanks for letting us know it was on CC

Frequently Asked Questions

What are some effective ways to arrange products on my retail display table?

To create an effective arrangement, consider using a tiered display to showcase products at different heights, making it visually appealing. Group similar items together and use attractive tablecloths or backdrops to enhance the overall look. Ensure that frequently purchased items are easily accessible and consider incorporating props or themed decorations to create a cohesive display.

How can I use signage to enhance my retail display?

Signage is crucial for guiding customers and highlighting key products. Use clear, bold fonts for pricing and product names, and consider including promotional signs to draw attention to special offers. Ensure that the signage is well-placed and easy to read from a distance. Incorporating visuals, such as images of the products in use, can also help attract customers.

What role does lighting play in a retail display setup?

Lighting can significantly impact the attractiveness of your display. Use bright, focused lighting to highlight key products and create an inviting atmosphere. Avoid harsh overhead lights; instead, consider using spotlights or LED strips to illuminate specific areas. Soft, warm lighting can create a welcoming vibe, encouraging customers to linger and explore.

How often should I change my retail display setup?

It's a good practice to refresh your retail display setup regularly, ideally every few weeks or at the start of a new season. Changing the display keeps it interesting for repeat customers and can highlight new products or promotions. Additionally, consider updating the setup for special events or holidays to attract more attention.

What are some tips for creating an interactive retail display?

To create an interactive display, consider incorporating product demonstrations or tastings that allow customers to experience the products firsthand. Use samples or hands-on activities to engage customers and encourage them to try the products. Additionally, consider using QR codes that link to videos or additional information about the products, enhancing the interactive experience.
