Modular units are a fixture family of their own. The same set of modular units can be arranged and rearranged to create completely new displays without purchasing any additional hardware. If you want to expand your existing modular display, you can always purchase individual units incrementally to add to your collection. Here’s a look at how you can make the most of modular units in your retail small business.
Modular units are essentially cubed shelving systems. They can come in wooden, metal, wire, mesh, cloth or acrylic cube units, and are often sold in a variety of colors. They can be stacked vertically or horizontally, mounted to the wall or arranged individually as small spotlight display areas.
Modular units are by far the most flexible fixture family. Individual units are completely portable, and a set of modular units can be configured any way you want. This versatility lets you change up your display whenever and wherever you like.
Using adjacent modular units to display related items will help establish a theme for a modular display area. This technique can also help encourage customers to make bundled purchases of related items.
Modular units can also be used to showcase larger individual items. Individual units can be quite small, so placing just one product in each unit will ensure an easy interaction for your customers.
Because modular units tend to be small, you want to be careful not to overstock them. If you’ve got a few smaller items to put in a single unit, leave enough room around your displayed products so customers can reach in and remove items without jostling the rest of your display.
