CHRISTMAS AND NEW YEAR SHOP SHELVING DELIVERIES

Over the festive season, the SWSF office is open except for Christmas day, Boxing day and New Years day.

When the office is closed, it is still possible to order online. Online and telephone orders will be processed over the holiday period and deliveries will be as below.

The pallet delivery company that SWSF use will be delivering as usual excluding Christmas day, boxing day and New Years day.

NEW SHELVING EPOS STRIPS

Sometimes making a small investment is all that is necessary to create a whole new look, for example replacing the handles on kitchen units can revitalise the room.  A similar outcome can be achieved in retail space, simply by replacing the plastic epos or ticket strips on the front of your shelving, you can refresh the look of your shop. SWSF now stock plastic data strips that will fit most 50 pitch shelving systems such as SWSF, Tegometall, Edens, ITAB etc, in a range of nine colours (cream,red,blue,green,white,black,silver,yellow and clear). Simply decide which colour is appropriate to compliment your shop’s brand, logo or theme, then count the number of epos strips of each length that you require.  Once they are clipped onto the front of all your shelving, it should look a million dollars for just a few pounds!

NEW 100MM PEGHOOKS NOW AVAILABLE

South West Shopfittings Ltd are delighted to announce that we have just received a huge shipment of peghooks and we also now have 100mm single pegboard hooks in stock.

The single prong pegboard hook is the simplest type of pegboard hook. SWSF 100mm single peghooks are heavy duty, with a gauge of 4.8mm. They are ideal for displaying large quantities of small hanging products on pegboard shop shelving units. Plastic caps are available in red or black to fit over the end of the pegboard hook.

ASSEMBLY OF SHOP SHELVING

This is a step by step guide to assembling a bay of wall shop shelving.

The first thing to do is to take the base legs and, using the screw-in feet, get them levelled onto the floor. They then can be put into the uprights, they are quite a tight fit to give the unit stability.

Next, the bottom back panel can be inserted into the H slots of the uprights. The kick plate can now be put along the front of the unit.
The remaining back panels can now be inserted to complete the rear of the unit. The base shelf is to be placed onto the base feet and brackets inserted above for the shelves to fit onto. Finish off by clipping on your plastic pricing strips and there you have your basic wall shelving unit.  For Video instructions visit SWSFTV.

CUSTOMER TESTIMONIALS

At SWSF we aim to supply top quality shop fittings at an affordable price. We pride ourselves not only in our products but also in our customer service and advice which enables retailers to refit their shops cost effectively and making the best use of available retail space. What better endorsements could there be than actual emails sent by recent customers who were delighted with the service and shop equipment that they received.

General Stores, East Sussex

The shelving which we bought from you was really easy to put together and gave our shop a really professional look. Everyone who has been into the shop has commented on how fantastic it looks. I like the way it is so easy to change our displays due to the simple way the shelving can be moved around.

Thank you for all the advice and support you gave us when we were selecting which shelving units to purchase. You made the experience very positive for people who knew very little about shop shelving.

 

Pound Shop, Ireland

Many thanks for your prompt service. I previously used
Tegometal shelving sourced from the Irish importers. I found your company  through Google and decided to order from yourselves.

I was more than suprised when we received our first order. The quality of your own shelving is in my opinion equal to or better than Tegometal. Your strengthening bars on the underside of the shelves are in a “v” instead of flat which gives the shelf more strength and the corrugation on the back panels make them much more secure. All in all I
would strongly recommend your shelving to anyone as a better product for a much lower
price. Also your delivery was very prompt and reasonable.

WOODEN SHOP COUNTERS AND GREETINGS CARD UNITS

Shop Counter Units are an important item in your retail space as every customer will be at the counter when paying for their shopping so it makes sense for them not only to be attractive and well presented but for them also to be used to display those last minute tempting items.

A shop counter not only serves the purpose of being extra display space, but gives extra storage space, which is always at a premium in a shop.

From a simple cash and wrap counter to a multi shape, multi function convenience store counters, all the SWSF joinery range is made to order in the UK and very reasonably priced.  Our retail counter range now includes crisp and confectionery counters,  newspaper display counters, stepped display counters, convenience store counters and checkout counter units. There is a large choice of attractive melamine finishes on all the UK made counters and they are delivered fully assembled, usually within 2 weeks.

Another popular item in many shops is our greeting card display units, which create colourful, eye catching and attractive displays of greeting cards; while the easy glide metal sided storage drawer system provides ease of replenishment and stock control.

Greeting card display units can be either standalone or joined in a run, ideal to suit any size of retail outlet whether a convenience shop or specialist greeting card retailer.  Different card stands can be joined to produce variety and flexibility of display, i.e. one standard greeting card unit with drawers and another gift wrap unit with wrapping paper hanging arms.

Again, these are available in a wide choice of finishes and are delivered fully assembled within a couple of weeks of ordering.

The card display units can also be used to display CD’s or DVD’s.

Our prices are extremely competitive and the quality of the finish is very high quality, if you have any questions, give us a call to discuss your requirements.

PEGBOARD DISPLAY, NEW STOCKS OF HOOKS JUST ARRIVED

SWSF are delighted to have received a new consignment of quality pegboard hooks. Pegboard displays are ideal for a huge variety of products and the hooks are available in different sizes and types to suit the products that you wish to display.
Our new hooks are great quality and, because we took the time to source them carefully, we can offer them at extremely competetive prices.
We now have large stocks of both euro looped hooks and single prong hooks, both in four different sizes, as well as the 40mm hooks which can be used in both slatwall and pegboard. We also stock the plastic end caps for the single prong hooks and the hanging price tags for the euro hooks.

As well as the standard hooks, we have also sourced some German made direct or fast entry hooks which are cleverly designed for use when displays are to be altered frequently as they can be moved individually without the need to tilt them, meaning that there is no disturbance to surrounding hooks. These are also available in single prong or euro looped and with overarm price tag holders.

Sourcing all of these hooks directly from the manufacturers ensures that we can pass our savings directly onto our customers.

There is a built in discount for bulk buying and should you require hooks which are not shown on our website, please give us a call and we will endeavour to source them for you.

TIPS FOR MARKETING IMPULSE SALES AND PROMOTIONAL OFFERS

Special promotional offers not only tempt new customers into your shop but also encourage greater spending. Clearly it is pointless to have fantastic offers that no-one is aware of so the first step in marketing your special offers is to create some form of advertising visible from outside the shop, whether it is a pavement advertisement stand or window displays clearly showing the relevant and seasonal special promotional products.
Once in the shop, attractive promo display can not only promote sales of a slow moving product but also encourage “linked” sales. For example, displaying soup next to fresh rolls, barbecue sauce next to burgers, wine beside chocolates or snacks next to beer should encourage “add on” sales.
It is important to alter displays regularly to keep them fresh and interesting for the customer and to clearly use signage informing of the great deals that are on offer.
Good quality shop fittings and equipment will make products stand out and be noticed. Shoppers should not be distracted from your products by shelving that is rusty, scratched and in poor condition. A well presented shop will invariably be more attractive to shoppers, thus ensuring increased spending and more returning trade.

At SWSF we not only supply standard shelving promo end bays in a variety of sizes but also stock slat promo units and pegboard promo bays . If your requirements are more specific,  we can tailor make the bay to suit you depending on exactly the range of products you wish to promote. SWSF shelving is modular, giving the ability to create bays with a mixture of types of back panels and shelves easily and cost effectively.

Should you wish to discuss your requirements, please call or email SWSF and we will be delighted to help you to plan your shopfitting needs along every step of the way.
