As a retail store owner, you are likely always looking for new and innovative ways to revamp your store and your retail displays without breaking the bank. Luckily, we’ve put together a guide on the best ways to use tube and clamp fittings in your retail space so that you can keep your store looking fresh with simple DIY solutions.
If you’ve never thought of using key clamp tube and fittings outside of the construction space – you’re seriously missing out! At Lockinex, we’ve compiled the five best ways you can utilise these readily available products within your store.
1. Clothing Rails
When it comes to retail design solutions, one of the most important things you need to figure out is how to display everything. This is particularly true, especially for retail spaces that sell clothing items.
Clothing can take up a substantial amount of space, so making sure it’s stored correctly is the key to saving space in your store. Tube and clamp systems are great for creating clothing rails without having to blow your budget. They’re perfect because they're sturdy and durable, and they can be adjustable and customisable so that you can create the best fit for your shop.
Crafting your clothing rails and racks from tube and clamp also gives your space a trendy, industrial feel and the best part? It’s cost-effective and super simple to set up yourself!
2. Shelving
From clothing to homewares, no retail space is complete without proper shelving. A good shelving unit makes it easy for customers to see exactly what you’re selling and makes them more likely to purchase something from your store.
Using key clamp and tube fittings is a great way to build sturdy shelves that aren’t just functional, but also look great! They’re perfect for displaying a range of items, including heavy products that need a bit more durability and stability.
Making shelving units yourself from tube and clamp fittings also means that you can adjust the heights as you get new inventory. If you suddenly stock something – like a ceramic vase – that’s a bit taller than you’re used to, you can simply adjust the shelving unit to accommodate new items.
3. Furniture
Depending on how big your store is, you might need something to fill the negative space and furniture made with key clamp tube and fittings could be just the thing! Adding furniture makes for interesting retail design solutions in your space, also allowing customers to sit and relax while browsing.
This kind of furniture isn’t simply functional; it also makes your space more interesting to the eye. Draw in customers and encourage them to stay a little longer when you incorporate furniture into your store. And the best bit? When you choose DIY, you don’t have to spend an arm and a leg to get exactly what you’re looking for.
4. Changing Rooms
If you have a smaller store, you may not have space for cubicle-style change rooms. Thankfully, though, we have a solution! With tube and clamp systems, you can create privacy screens or curtain change rooms in your store. Simply create a railing and attach it to the ceiling of your store, and voila!
By adding a curtain, you can ensure people have a private space to change without having to cordon off too much of your shop floor.
5. Sit-Stand Desks
Working retail means you’re on your feet an awful lot however, having a solution that allows for both sitting and standing while at work can really help your staff get the best of both worlds. By using key clamp and tube fittings, you can create a sit-stand desk that allows you to adjust to different heights.
Whether you need a space at the front for payments or a wrapping station for the festive months, it allows for your team to choose between sitting and standing. This also allows you to ensure all your employees' needs are met, regardless of their physical ability.
