Tip #1  - Choosing The Right Location

Location is critical when setting up a grid wall system in a retail store. Try to keep it low enough so that customers can easily remove the product themselves, without requiring the assistance of a store employee. If you are set on installing grid wall above the average person's reach, only use it for product that's sparingly purchased by customers; otherwise, you'll find yourself constantly going back and forth to access product here.

Tip #2 - Color and Style

The most commonly used type of grid wall is basic chrome metal; however, there are several other types of grid wall that shouldn't be overlooked as well. In addition to the standard chrome models, you can also find grid wall in both white and black colors. Try to picture each of these styles in your store and then choose the color/style that matches the rest of the decor. Black grid wall is a popular choice simply because it doesn't show dust as easily, but some owners prefer the subtle appearance of white-colored grid wall.

Tip #3 - Maximize Your Display Space

You can maximize the amount of grid wall display space by adjusting your product hooks accordingly. Ideally, each of the product should be resting directly next to one another. If there are large open gaps of several inches between products, then perhaps you should move them closer together. Not only will this maximize the amount of display space on your grid wall, but it will also result in a cleaner, more uniform appearance. Whenever your store receives a shipment of new product, make the necessary adjustments on your grid wall so the product fits appropriately without wasting space.

Tip #4 - Wall Mounting

Rather than standing your grid wall straight up, you can mount it to the wall using brackets. This is an excellent way to fill unused walls with functional product displays. However, it's important that you use the appropriate brackets to mount it on the wall.
