Now that you have the keys to your business, it's time to start decorating and fitting it out! Although the choice of furniture is important, the choice of accessories is just as important. The accessories will complete your decoration and refine the layout of your shop. Thinking about the organisation of your shop will help to enhance the value of your products and allow your customers to move freely around the space.
The A-frame chalkboard, the essential accessory
The A-frame chalkboard with slate is an interesting accessory. Indeed, it is essential to attract attention to your business. Much more economical than an illuminated sign, you can share your offer and let passers-by know you are there. Be original in designing a message and display that will appeal to your potential customers. The use of colour is the key to attracting the eye, and inviting passers-by to read you. Coloured chalk will be your best friend for this purpose.
The right size allows you to display the most important things: current promotions and/or top products. The A-frame chalkboard is a highly recommended accessory for restaurants. It will allow you to display your daily menu. The design of this accessory can vary with or without a tripod. The A-frame chalkboard with a solid wood structure has the capacity to resist to bad weather. Despite popular belief, solid wood is very resistant to the outdoors, especially to the sun! A wooden easel can be easily transported in and out of your shop depending on the weather.
Bring your shop window to life with accessories
In a previous article, we explained how important it is to decorate your shop window properly. As the first point of contact with your customers and prospects, it is crucial that it is attractive, aesthetic and well looked after. To ensure that the products in your window are at eye level, the use of accessories is necessary. You can display your products on solid wooden crates or on special bottle display.
The 1 or 5 bottle display stand will turn your bottles into real decorative objects. This will allow passers-by to appreciate your window and the bottles you will display there. This accessory is inexpensive and represents a good element to decorate your shop window. To differentiate yourself and accentuate the presentation of your wines, you can install a dedicated lighting system for your bottle display. Once illuminated, it will be impossible to miss your bottles! The solid wood crate also has its place. Positioned on the side, it will have the same function as the wine display. It will highlight your best products, whatever the type of business you have.
Decorate your sales area to perfection
For the interior of your business, there are several accessories you can use.
If you have a tasting room, choose a solid wood seat for more authenticity. Bar stools or benchs for high table will fit perfectly around your bar. This is the kind of accessory that will add character to the space. Moreover, you can also reuse the wine bottle display stand by placing it on your tasting table to present the wines they will be tasting at that moment.
The decorative ladder is a great option to save space while showcasing some products. Functional and practical, it is an asset in your decoration. Simply placed against a wall, you won't need to do any DIY. This ladder is perfect for a grocery shop or a florist.
Wooden crates are also widely used in wine shops as "side furniture". They can be used to complement a shelf, for example. At the foot of the crate, they can display a few bottles for your customers to help themselves. You can also display your bottles on special offer. The crate can be an original idea for additional storage. It will allow you to display your products, and to bring a little touch of decoration to your business.
