Wall-mounted or freestanding pegboards are another affordable and versatile fixture system. If you’re looking to organize small items on a display fixture, pegboards are perfect for the job. Take a look at how to incorporate a pegboard system into your store’s fixture assortment and what items they can merchandise best.
Pegboard panels are most often made of hardboard, steel or plastic back plates with an evenly spaced pattern of pre-drilled holes. They can come in individual wall-mounted panels, tri-fold stands, or four-sided units that can act as freestanding floor fixtures or as the back panel of other freestanding fixtures like gondolas.
Pegboard hooks aren’t meant to hold large, bulky items. Instead, they’re best suited for stocking smaller, lightweight merchandise, like jewelry (necklaces and bracelets) or other long, hanging accessories like scarves or headbands.
Pegboards are accessory friendly — shelves, bins and hooks can all be affixed to pegboards to display merchandise. Most often, hooks are used on pegboards because they best showcase small, hanging items.
With a four-sided pegboard display unit, you can sell merchandise on multiple sides simultaneously. If your display sits atop a revolving base, customers can easily spin the display to browse your full assortment of products. Like a 2- or 4-way fixture, stock a four-sided pegboard display with related items to encourage bundled purchases.
