props for shops
what i really dont want in my store is
a bunch of commercial units
to show my merchandise...
i dont want plastic, or particle board or some cheapie thing that comes in a box..., or even another companies name on something...
i want big strong things that put lots of merchandise at eye level...
and i want them with a little inner beauty and archetectural interest....
things you can nail into
interesting things...that tell my customers... you arent at
hobby lobby, walmart or hallmark!!!!..
we try to make our cupboards, counters and cabinets for stores who feel the same way..the neatest ones we come up with have cool old parts in them.... like the big 2 door display in the picture..7 ft tall and 4 ft wide....and heavy!!!...
good, useful displays and visual merchandising is so crucial......you can see lots of our displays at work here http://www.greenoakantiques.com/
##also i like to use big garden things inside....every christmas i use a nice big arbor somewhere..., to walk thru or to hang huge amounts from...they are just natural big focal points...
###and antiques, to a point....but you cant nail into antiques... and once they are covered up they dont sell...
####and definitely big natural things ...like saplings.....
i would love to have something as dramatic
as the old trucks they put into old navy..
.so neat....
