The Power Wall

Are your displays looking picked over? One quick fix I heard at the SCLS program Trading Spaces/Show It Off: Increasing Circulation Through Merchandising was to implement the “Power Wall.” The concept is to keep books or media shelved with the spines out beneath the items you display face out at eye level. Then you and your co-workers can quickly fill the face out displays with the items underneath. Just make sure you don’t use a random assortment of stuff – presenter Kathy Schalk-Greene emphasized that each display should have one message. Once you’ve determined your message and selected your items to display, try using the Power Wall to move your items faster and save your staff time. For more tips, check out the DIY Toolkit.
