Collapsible Dump Bins, Retail Product Display Blog, Retail Trends and Tips

Collapsible Dump Bins are a great way to sell more product to customers. Choose from metal or timber dump bins for retail outlets.

A retail dump bin is an excellent point of purchase display tool used by most retailers to draw their shoppers’ attention to specific products.

These Collapsible Dump Bins stand out from conventional shelf displays.

Perfect to encourage impulse buys from customers as our dump bins, generally hold value-for-money products.

It’s common for shoppers to go to the store with a list of what they need to get.

But their in-store shopping experience and the store’s product arrangement influences what they leave with.

For instance, cross-merchandising often reminds shoppers of small products they may have forgotten to add to their list or attractive displays may tempt them to try new products.

Dump bins are a key way you can do both things and increase your sales.

What are dump bins used for?

Dump bins are hard to miss as they stand out from conventional shelving.

They draw your shoppers’ attention to the products you fill into them and several bins can be placed throughout the store.

Because these are generally used to hold discounted products, they encourage impulse buying.

Retailers frequently use dump bins to showcase products that they have excess stock of.

While dump bins direct attention to these products, discounted prices encourage shoppers to add them to their baskets.

Dump bins save retailers precious shelf space.

Everyone likes a good value-for-money buy and retailers can add more than one product together in these bins as combo packs.

Dump bins are ideal for cross-merchandising because they can be placed at the end of aisles.

So, for example, they can hold brushes or hair ties at the end of the hair product aisle or loofahs at the end of the toiletries.

Shoppers may add these to their baskets as these kinds of products are utilitarian and you can have more than one at home.

Since dump bins are great at drawing people’s attention, it’s a good idea to use them for special offers and seasonal products.

For instance, arranging strawberries that are in season at a prominent spot in a rustic wooden bin will help them get sold much quicker.

Dump bins for retail stores are available from Mills Display in both plastic-coated wire frames and wooden options.

Best place for collapsible dump bins.

Display bins are generally placed throughout the store.

They should be large enough to hold enough quantity of the product you want to sell.

They also need to be positioned in such a way that they don’t inconvenience your shoppers as they navigate the aisles with their shopping carts, but still slow them down.

As soon as a customer slows down, they are more likely to buy the product, which is why dump bins should be a convenient inconvenience.

Dump bins can be placed at either end of the aisle.

It is quite common to have dump bins holding the same products set up at multiple points throughout the store.

This way, even if shoppers didn’t give in to picking up a product the first or the second time, they are quite likely to consider picking it up the third time that they see it.

Dump baskets are also commonly positioned around checkout counters.

This ensures high visibility for the products they hold because they are in view of a captive audience waiting in line to pay their bills.

This is where a lot of impulse buying happens.

Shoppers are reminded to buy small products like batteries or magazines.

It could even just be because they have a few minutes before their purchases are scanned, and the products are too tempting not to buy.

What can dump bins be used for?

Dump bins can be used for several different products, from fresh produce to toys and everything in-between.

Our wooden display bins are great to give your display that rustic, wholesome charm that works very well with fresh produce.

The pallet bases of these wooden bins are forklift friendly, so these are easy to reposition around your store.

You can also store excess product in the hollow inner, making re-stocking at the end of the day easy.

You can add or remove layers to make these higher or lower. We also supply ticket holders for the dump bins, to keep prices visible.

We also have plastic- coated wire dump bins. These are easy to set up and make the products highly visible. They are collapsible with an adjustable shelf.

Retail Shelf Dividers, Retail Product Display Blog, Retail Trends and Tips

From angle front scanstrips to shelf dividers, Mills Display has a range of retail shelving options.

Effective shelf management techniques help you maximise your sales per linear metre, drive customer traffic to stores and give you a competitive advantage.

Shelf management in retail includes correct inventory management, clever visual merchandising strategies and having the right retail accessories to achieve this.

Shelf management techniques aim to create a good retail experience for customers which helps to boosts sales. It works in several ways.

Strategic segmentation of products.

By grouping your products into categories, you are making them easier for customers to find.

In addition to arranging products by category, consider segmenting the different brands offering the same product on a specific criterion.

For example, if you were to divide and arrange the different brands of kitchen towels into ‘economy’ and ‘premium’ sections, it helps customers decide much quicker.

You can use shelf dividers to make those boundaries.

Shelf dividers do an excellent job of segregating a long shelf into different sections and keeping grouped products together.

Some retailers use colour coded price labels set on angle front scanstrips to indicate ‘economy’ and ‘premium’ items.

Without this segmentation, your customers would have to go through all the different brands just to figure out which one is the most cost-effective.

We have a range of black acrylic dividers for this use.

Our black L-shaped dividers are ideal for use in supermarket deli cabinets as well as a range of other applications.

These can either be loose or attached with magnetic tape or foam tape.

Choose from our range of 500mm, 600mm, 700mm, 800mm or 900mm lengths.

At Mills Display, we can also cut these to specific lengths for you.

We also have parsley retail shelf dividers for butchers, delis and other frozen and fresh food departments. They are 750mm long.

Efficient inventory management.

Having full retail shelves prompts customers to buy more.

With a shelf management system, your store is kept well stocked.

If any category is running low on a product, your employees will notice right away and replenish stock.

This saves you from having a dissatisfied customer leave your store without getting what they came for.

Better inventory management also cuts down on the costs you may otherwise incur to replace expired stock.

Shelf front risers, custom dividers and other retail shelf management hardware helps to keep your older stock at the front.

For instance, these clear front risers allow product to be stacked in the front of the shelf but not fall off.

We have a range of Front Riser L-Shape sizes, from 30mm high to 60mm high, which come with a range of magnetic or standard tapes.

These are also a great earthquake-safe shelving option.

Optimised product placement.

A shelf management system optimises product placement.

For instance, it has been noted that those products placed at eye level are better sellers than those that are placed at the very top or bottom.

So, placing brands that give you a better margin at eye level gets them noticed quicker and they are more likely to sell.

There are other options too, so speak to us about custom shelving.

We have made customised cupcake stands in clear acrylic, as well as many clear differently sized dividers.

Better merchandising.

Despite coming to the store armed with a list, the shopping experience at your store has a big impact on what and how much your customers buy.

Make sure your scanstrip is clear and easy to read.

We have a wide selection of scanstrip products to choose from, with black and clear scanstrips available in a variety of sizes and mounting options.

Get in touch with Mills Display for your shelf management solutions.

Shelf management is there to provide customers with a good shopping experience.

If customers can find what they are looking for easily, they are more likely to leave happy and return in the future.

Products like shelf dividers, shelf front risers and merchandising boxes are small items that make a big impact on your customer’s shopping experience.

Keeping all your products neat and organised makes it easier for customers.

Your customers will quickly find and buy the products that they need.

Retail scanstrips and various data strip display mounts give them the details they need without having to pick up and analyse the product itself.

Whether you’re a large retailer or have a small business, these small measures let your customers know that you care about their needs.

And effective shelf management steps like these play an important role in improving your sales.

Experts at retail solutions, Mills Display has a comprehensive range to upgrade the customer experience that you offer.

Retail Product Display Blog, Health and Safety Signs, Retail Trends and Tips

Health and safety signs should be a priority of any business. It keeps your staff safe, your customers safe, and ensures OSH compliance.

Adhering to health and safety rules helps your staff and your customers to remain safe.

Mills Display stock a range of health and safety signs and products.

Looking after people on site is important, not just to avoid serious harm. If staff injure themselves, it results in time off work to recover, which can result in a drop in productivity.

Caution wet floor health and safety signs.

This is a standard foldable wet floor sign that is required in any space where the general public might encounter wet floors.

From supermarkets that have spills, to office corridors that are being mopped while people are in the building. These signs alert people that the floor will be slippery.

Slips, trips and falls are the leading cause of injury in NZ, and this is one way to protect your workforce and customers from risk of harm.

This sign is 640mm tall and 320mm wide and folds away flat. This is ideal for cleaners who may carry it in their vans or businesses with small cleaning cupboards.

Anti fatigue mats.

If you have staff that stand for long periods of time on hard, cold concrete or tiled floors, these anti-fatigue mats offer relief for their legs and back.

The addition of a rubber mat underfoot helps to avoid aching legs and feet after hours of standing on the factory, checkout or shop floor.

These mats make life more comfortable for your staff, and happier staff are more productive with fewer injuries.

This 910mm x 1520mm fatigue mat has holes in it so it’s great for areas where the floor may get wet, as it allows drainage.

This could include refrigerated areas, laboratory or factory floors. It has bevelled edges to minimise trip hazards.

This 900mm x 1200 mm safety mat has rubber bubbles which make it non-slip, as well as bevelled edges so that no-one trips on the edges of the mat.

This one is perfect for checkout and serving areas.

This smart anti-fatigue mat is 700mm x 900mm and is suitable for areas that need a more professional look.

It still offers the cushioning that the other rubber mats do, and provides the support needed to alleviate aching legs and feet.

Anti slip yellow safety step.

This safety step provides the extra height needed to safely and easily stock shelves in retail and warehouses.

It’s that extra little bit of height you need to easily reach higher shelves or awkward places without the need to reach and twist uncomfortably.

It has non slip feet so once you step on it, it’s firm and secure.

We also stock a rolling mstep that will roll until you step on it, at which time it locks firmly on the ground.

This step has anti-slip step pads on the top and on the side steps. It’s bright yellow so it’s highly visible and people are less likely to trip over it.

This step is 500mm x 500mm wide and 360mm high. It can support up to 120kg, enough to easily take the average person and whatever they are carrying.

Wall mounted retractable belt.

To easily cordon off aisles, doorways or alleyways. This wall mounted retractable belt secures on one wall and is stored unnoticeably out of the way until you need to use it.

This means it is located out of the way and not a trip hazard in itself.

While machinery is operating or the space isn’t safe, the yellow-and-black striped belt can be easily pulled out and cordons off the no-go area.

It comes in 5m or 3m lengths and can be attached by screw, magnet, or double sided tape.

Its quick and easy installation makes it an immediate solution for a space that has permanent needs for temporary blocking.

Moveable barrier posts with black belt.

For retail or other spaces where crowds occur. These stainless steel barrier posts are an easy queue control solution.

Having orderly queues helps to decrease customer wait times and increases efficiency of your staff.

They simply can be rolled or carried into place and then the 2m retractable belt slides out for a visible way to direct people into place.

Airports, retail stores, malls and entertainment venues find use in these 900m tall barrier posts.

We also supply red and blue belts, just ask for prices.

Retail Product Display Blog, Dunnage Racks, Retail Trends and Tips

Dunnage racks offer a more flexible storage rack solution than other more bulky options like plastic pallets.

Dunnage storage racks primarily protect products from moisture, dirt and other damage that could occur if they were stored directly on the floor.

Quality plastic dunnage racks can support heavy and bulky products.

They are designed to be easily adaptable to a range of businesses and give you solid value for your investment.

Why should you consider using dunnage racks?

Plastic dunnage racks support a range of weights

Made of heavy-duty plastic, dunnage racks are highly durable and provide stability during storage.

You can choose from a range of differently sized models that have different weight capacities.

This way you can pick something that suits your space and your businesses’ needs.

Dunnage racks easily withstand cold temperatures and weather changes

Plastic dunnage racks are ideal for coolers and freezers because they can withstand temperatures that fall as low as -14oC.

They are also often used at garden centres and petrol stations because they are resistant to most industrial chemicals.

Also water and weather changes that typically affect conventional outdoor storage racks.

They are easy to maintain

Plastic resists mould, mildew and pathogens which makes these racks ideal for food storage.

Since plastic is corrosion resistant, they last for much longer and can be cleaned easily on a regular basis with water blasting or steam cleaning.

Unlike plastic pallets, these are structured so that you can clean the floor underneath and this makes it easier to maintain your storage space as well.

Dunnage racks reduce product damage

Storing your products appropriately is essential to reduce damage and prevent product waste.

Durable plastic dunnage racks are practical options to keep your products off the ground, away from moisture and dust.

They also have structural features like rounded edges so your products don’t get damaged by getting snagged on sharp corners.

This also protects your employees from similar accidents.

Plastic dunnage racks are space efficient

Plastic dunnage racks are available in a range of sizes so you can choose the number and size of the racks you need, based on your needs.

These racks can then be configured and stacked as you like so you can come up with a way to use minimum floor space.

This is what makes dunnage racks especially useful for unusually shaped rooms or small spaces.

To make transport easier, these racks are lightweight, and some models even have corner pockets that make them simple to stack. This is useful for storage and transport.

They can double up for displays

Like plastic pallets, dunnage racks can also double up to hold products for display.

Since they’re easily configurable and look appealing, they work well for visual merchandising.

Why are dunnage racks useful for food related businesses?

Made of tough plastic material, dunnage racks are good at enduring the food acids and temperature changes that are common in the food transport and production industry.

In large kitchens and food production units, these racks prove to be convenient storage solutions for ingredients and other products, keeping them safely off the floor.

Thanks to the fact that they can support heavy weights, even bulky bags or boxes can be stored on these storage racks.

Space is generally a premium in kitchens and production units so it is useful that dunnage racks can be arranged in such a way that they make the most efficient use of the available floor space.

Since they can be cleaned easily and plastic is resistant to pests, pathogens and microbes, these are the preferred options for food storage.

They last a long time and can be maintained using fairly simple methods of cleaning and disinfection.

Being plastic, they are not susceptible to rust and this gives them a huge advantage over metal dunnage racks.

Some food products and ingredients need to be stored at freezing temperatures and plastic dunnage racks have the ability to withstand these temperatures.

Some are even designed with slotted tops to encourage air circulation so fresh produce or perishables will last as long as possible.

It is all these properties that make plastic dunnage racks suitable to meet food safety regulations.

Get in touch with us to make your storage more efficient

Retail Cage Trolleys Supplier, Retail Product Display Blog, Retail Trends and Tips

Cage trolleys offer a simple solution for moving stock around the warehouse or retail area, for big or small businesses. Contact Mills Display today…

Save time, money, and make your operations compliant with health and safety legislation by using cage trolleys. Increase productivity by saving staff time and decrease stock losses by storing and moving items correctly.

Why you should use cage trolleys?

Streamline your stocking and storage systems by adding cage trolleys to your operations. Our cage trolleys reduce the number of trips your staff take to restock shelves and decrease stock losses due to damage from being incorrectly stored or dropped.

They are easy to use, manoeuvre and can be used as temporary storage when needed. In short, they are an easy solution for a range of stock movement problems.

Who uses cage trolleys?

Any retail store that need to move items from storage to shelves will benefit from a cage trolley. Supermarkets, retailers, hardware stores, courier companies, hospitals and garden centres use our cage trolleys to get everything from A to B, quickly and with no damaged product.

Why do you need a cage trolley for health and safety?

New Zealand health and safety regulations mean that actions such as bending, lifting, and carrying heavy items are all discouraged. Injuries are common, especially when staff lift and move repeatedly, and these can lead to ACC claims and sick days.

For many companies, a pallet jack or sack barrow is used to move product around. However, if there are standard width doorways that pallets won’t fit through, or the product is loose and doesn’t stack on a sack barrow, then those options aren’t viable.

To comply with OSH requirements, you need to have an option for staff to move product without carrying many heavy items and without having to take multiple trips.
To further ensure safety on the floor, our trolleys also have brakes. Once they’re in place, there’s no danger of unexpected movement.

What kind of cage trolley do you need?

There are a range of cage trolleys available, but you need one that fits your products and moves them safely to where they need to be. They aren’t designed for massively heavy and bulky items, but are ideal for smaller items you can hand-lift at each end. Our cage trolley can move up to 300kg of product at a time, which is generous and makes it suitable for most products.

Our two-sided cage trolley with a shelf will meet most people’s needs. In this instance, the shelf is removable, so you can take it out altogether. Or, you can easily re-install it using the simple drop clips to have the shelf at a different height that fits your products better.

For instance, it’s hard to stack plants, so having one shelf lower and then having another shelf higher up means you can move more stock at once. Less trips back and forth saves a lot of time for your staff.

If you’re shifting long items, having two sides open means you can take more objects stacked long-ways. If you are taking small packages, you might need to invest in a cargo strap that wraps securely around the trolley, ensuring nothing falls out.

When making decisions about what works for you, make sure you take the door size into account. The trolley needs to fit through all the relevant doorways from shop floor to warehouse. Our trolley is 1725mm high, 785mm long and 670mm wide, so it fits through standard doors easily.

https://millsdisplay.co.nz/products/cage-trolley-2-sided-with-shelf/

What are the benefits of cage trolleys?

The mesh sides mean you can easily see the product. The trolleys are often used as temporary storage, so being able to see what is stored there and how much stock is there makes life easier for warehouse staff. The trolleys don’t take up much storage space either and can be moved easily if space requirements change.

Using them as temporary storage is a great idea, as you can unload one day, and then restock a few days later as needed- no double handling of stock and saves considerable time.

The steel zinc-plated powder-coated frame is suitable for use outside or moving wet items such as plants. They can also be used in refrigerated or warm environments.

Call us to find out if this is the solution you need

Here at Mills Display, we sell quality products that last the distance. Our cage trolley is hard wearing and will help you with health and safety compliance. The castors are long lasting and ensure a smooth controlled journey.

The addition of cage trolleys to your storage and stock movement capabilities make you more compliant with health and safety requirements. Your staff will also save time by taking minimal trips back and forth, as well as minimising the chance for stock losses by dropping or incorrectly storing items.

They make the whole process easier and faster, ensuring better productivity and cost savings for the organisation.
