Between delivery apps and e-commerce, the ability to acquire items is becoming less and less of an issue. However, the shopping experience is still something that can't be virtually simulated. In the face of online retail, brick-and-mortar boutique shops are doing surprisingly well. By offering a complete, refined, and personal retail environment, they provide customers with something that no online store could hope to offer. An elegant tactile experience.
The Boutique Display
Part of the appeal of a boutique store is the feeling that it was made just for you. When a customer walks into a little fashion shop and immediately fall in love with the hat display, you know they'll be back. The smell of new clothes and real wood shelves are part of the tactile experience of boutique shopping. You want displays that can be rearranged but give the impression of permanence, as if you designed the entire shop around each individual shopping experience.
The Slatwall Display Solution
Many shops achieve this sense of permanence with actual permanence, installing screwed in shelves and simply rotating the products displayed. However, if you love to reinvent your displays ever few weeks, you need something both elegant and versatile. For versatility, there's the wire fence and pegboard method, but these are more attuned to the atmosphere of a hardware store. Instead, consider the benefits of a slatwall display. Solid wood, polished or painted, with subtle horizontal slats down the sides. These slats act like the holes in a pegboard, happily receiving and firmly holding shelves, hooks, and baskets while still providing the class of a solid wood fixture.
Your customers come to your shop for the atmosphere and delightful tactile experience as much as they do for your products. With slatwall displays, you can rearrange your displays again and again without sacrificing a drop of ambiance.
