The photo shows the display facing customers as they leave. It’s vibrant and uses newsXpress collateral to promote the season.

By focusing as much attention on the rear of a display, newsXpress stores are able to get more value from prime positioning.  It is a tremendous feeling for those involved when they see a shopper who has completed their sale stock as an exit display and select additional products to purchase.

Christmas gifts on show at newsXpress Riverlink

riverlink1.jpgThis photo shows another display created for newsXpress Riverlink using our in-house premium Visual Merchandising expert. Owner Belinda Williams was thrilled with the result: Everything is easy to see and with use of props and stands everything is accessible and looks inviting. I was in the gift area yesterday and a regular customer asked if I had a new staff member working for me because the gift area now looks like a high end department store set up.

The display features gifts from newsXpress preferred suppliers, presented in a shopper-friendly appealing way.

Many newsXpress members are reporting good Christmas sales, especially of the items recommended by the newsXpress merchandise team.  As the photo shows, a key to success is an appealing display.

newsXpress Riverlink Christmas window

riverlink2.jpgnewsXpress Riverlink engaged expert visual merchandising services through newsXpress to create a range of displays promoting the newsXpress cjristmas range.

This window display is drawing excellent interest as Belinda Williams (owner of newsXpress Riverlink) explains: the comments we have had have been outstanding. One store in the centre asked which Visual Merchandising Company did we use as they would like to get them to do their window.

The Riverlink Centre Manager and Operations Manager both personally came in store said they are normally happy with our window displays during the year, but this outshines everything they have every seen, and to continue build great displays like the current one.

Also I have lost count but roughly 6 reps from other company’s have commented on it and in store the staff are getting at least 10 comments a day from customers on how good it looks or that they want to buy product that is in the window – which incidentally is from the Merry Giftmas catalogue and majority of this product is on tables in front of store.

This is a terrific outcome for the newsXpress Riverlink team, for newsXpress suppliers and for newsXpress itself.  Congratulations to everyone involved.

Click on the image to see a larger version of one of the displays facing out into the shopping mall. The display shows great use of props – notice the bear at the top of the display.  While the bear has no actually synergy with the products, shoppers were coming up and saying that they love the MasterChef Bears, do you sell them?  Um, yes we do – we sell the bears and the Junior MasterChef hats.  Another win for newsXpress – sourcing quality brand name produc, connecting this with existing product (the bear) and telling a compelling story.

Rob Henderson for our newsXpress team created this display.
