5 Tips for Better Retail Displays | Royal Containers Corrugated Packaging Solutions, Brampton & St. Thomas, Ontario, Canada

First impressions matter. Whether meeting someone for the first time or encountering a brand’s retail display, those moments can make or break a connection. In retail, a compelling display is often the key to turning a passerby into a customer. So, how can you ensure your retail display stands out? Here are five tips to create displays that captivate, communicate, and convert.

1. Make It Visually Appealing

Your display’s primary job is to catch attention. To achieve this, focus on a clean, cohesive design. A well-chosen colour palette can work wonders—opt for a few complementary colours to avoid overwhelming your audience. Keep the layout uncluttered with neatly organized content that’s easy to read. Too much visual noise can drive potential customers away. A visually appealing display invites people in and encourages them to engage with your brand.

2. Choose the Right Location

Even the most stunning display won’t succeed if no one sees it. Placement is crucial. Aim for high-traffic areas where customers are naturally inclined to pause and explore. Think about entryways, checkout areas, or central hubs in the store. Visibility is key, so work with store managers to secure prime spots that ensure your display shines where it matters most.

3. Stay On-Brand and Unique

Your display should tell a story—your story. A strong display conveys your brand’s values, mission, and personality. This sets you apart from competitors and builds an emotional connection with customers. Use design elements and messaging that reflect your brand identity. At Royal Containers, we excel at creating custom displays that resonate with your audience and help your brand stand out in a crowded marketplace.

4. Use the Right Size and Scale

Not all displays are created equal, and size matters. A display with too many products feels chaotic, while one with too few can seem sparse or incomplete. The goal is balance—ensure your display is proportionate to the space it occupies and appropriately stocked to showcase your offerings effectively. A well-scaled display signals professionalism and leaves a positive impression.

5. Keep It Fresh and Well-Stocked

No matter how great your display looks on day one, it requires upkeep to stay appealing. Dust, smudges, and depleted stock can quickly tarnish the impression you worked so hard to create. Regular maintenance, cleaning, and restocking are essential. A fresh, well-stocked display shows customers that you care about quality, not just in your products but in how you present them.
