[UKPRwire, Mon Feb 25 2008] As the UK looks set for the annual Easter spending spree, a leading point of sale specialist is urging retailers to re-think their display systems to maximise sales.
Debbie Jamieson, sales and marketing director at UK Point of Sale explains: “Easter means so many things to different people; for some it's an important religious celebration and a time for family gatherings, for others an excuse to eat a bit more chocolate and for five million of us the Easter break is the perfect opportunity to spend some time and money on home improvements.
"Gardening and home ware stores have done particularly well in the past from the Easter bank holiday, especially if the weather is good – but this is also a busy period for most retailers, as many consumers see the extended weekend as a chance to hit the shops.
”At UK Point of Sale, the period up to the Easter break is frantic, as many retailers turn their attentions to shop display systems and our consultants are adept at offering advice on how to maximise space, and how to freshen up a store. It’s not just to the home DIYers who want to revitalise their environment, at this time of year it’s all about renewal.”
UK Point of Sale has a huge range of point of sale merchandise suitable for retailers across a huge spectrum of products, including leaflet dispensers, showcard stands, shelf displays, aluminium frames, banner systems and fittings and accessories. Visit www.ukpos.com to see their full range of retail solutions.
Debbie concluded: “The Easter bank holiday is one of the most important trading periods after Christmas. This year especially, with the credit crunch and economic slowdown, trading on the high street is extremely tough, and retailers will be hoping that consumer confidence starts to pick up. For many retailers this could be some compensation for what has been a very disappointing few months.”
