Have you seen the latest _____? Did you get the newest _____?
Life seems to revolve around trends. We like to see, use, have the latest and newest, but as soon as too many of us have the latest and newest we are looking for the next latest and newest. At the same time there are those of us that have a preference for the tried and true.
This creates a dilemma for someone selling optical frames. Do I try to attract those looking for the latest and greatest or do I want to attract those that prefer the tried and true. How do we create a space that can appeal to those seeking the latest and newest without always having to change the space and, at the same time, maintain a space that also attracts those looking for the standards they have established and prefer.
There are several ways to approach this question. Having a space that is considered “timeless”, creating a variety of “mini” spaces, or using accessories that can be adjusted and refreshed to reflect the latest and newest.
Timeless
Some looks and the quality of certain items have created a standard of “timelessness”. Using high quality materials and avoiding a look of clutter are two ways to create a look that will always appeal to the majority. Whether your space uses primarily shelves or rods or other types of display, if you are willing to invest in quality material and workmanship, your display will stand up to the test of time.
Mini Spaces
Within your space, the different ways and types of display can create an atmosphere that has an appeal to the different types of people that come in. The “Modular Wall Panel” system that Ennco has developed has a variety of fixtures and appearances that can be mixed and adjusted to your space in order to create a cohesive look while also incorporating several difference types of display.
Accessories
Just as you might change the look of your space to reflect the holiday or time of year, there are things you can do to change the appearance of your space and make it seem new and fresh. Moving accessories such as plants and chairs to new locations, making sure your signage and graphics are up to date, and rotating the feature displays are all simple ways to make your space new and exciting.
One of the ways that we can help is with the addition of lit graphic boxes. These can get mounted on the wall above your frame display and can enhance what is often a blank space with an attention-grabbing graphic.
For those of us looking for the latest and newest, it is always good to remember that someone has to start the trend. And, for those of us that have already established a standard, it is important to realize that even the classics can be improved and refreshed. If you have an idea or look that appeals to you, whether new or classic, and want to see it incorporated into your space, let the Ennco team help you make your idea a reality.
