You’ve got mail (supplies). SSS now carries mailing supplies and packing supplies! Choose from three sizes of bubble mailer envelopes to send out your smaller, more fragile items or pick up some bubble wrap which is great for packing boxes or for wrapping up breakable items for your customers. If you need to mail out CDs or DVDs then our new corrugated media mailers are what you need.

Wood displays. I am crazy about the Rotating T-shirt Display! It’s compact at only 23.5″L x 23.5″W x 63″H yet can hold a bunch of folded shirts. This 4-sided melamine display features 5 shelves per side so you can display up to 20 different styles, acrylic fronts to display the t-shirts next to folded stock and casters for easy relocation. Other terrific wood displays that we now carry are in the Sophisticate Collection which features maple melamine coupled with attractive matte silver frames. Choose from Display Pedestals, Nesting Display Tables and the Wall Shelving Display.

Attention getters. LED Rope Lights! Who doesn’t love them?! These new 9′ long LED rope lights are constructed of clear plastic with colored lights inside and plug directly into your AC outlet. You can string together up to 40 (yes, forty!) rope lights end to end without the need for connectors! Choose from red, blue, orange, green or white.

Security. Keep an eye on your investment with a new DVR Security System. This affordable security system comes complete with 10″ monitor, 4 channel DVR and 4 indoor/outdoor cameras.

Easy Set-up Displays for Retailers

I love this time of the year! All the street festivals, music festivals, art fairs and book fairs…I could spend the entire summer scampering from fest to fair. I know that many of you attend fairs and fests all summer, too, but as vendors. While it is fun to sell your wares and talk to all different kinds of people, setting up and breaking down can really be a hassle. In order to save your sanity, it is important to have displays that are quick and easy to set up and break down and also show your merchandise well so lets explore a few options.

One of the most versatile displays is the Standing Grid Screen. The screen measures 2’W x 5’H so it is still small enough to load into most SUVs or vans and since the legs are easy to screw on and off, the screen can lie flat during transport which leaves you more room for your product. Choose from a wide variety of accessories to attach to the screen depending on your display needs. Select peg hooks, baskets and accessory clips to display smaller items or faceouts, waterfalls, shelves with brackets and hang rails for larger items. Don’t forget your grid sign holder to advertise your merchandise! Single rail garment racks also set up and break down easily and give you plenty of room for displaying apparel.

Folding tables are also necessary for the mobile retailer. These folding tables measure 60″L x 24″W x 30″H and have a lip around the outside of the table to keep your merchandise on the table, not on the ground. Other display options that easily fold up are the Folding Shelving Rack and the Square Bin. The folding shelving rack has 5 adjustable shelves and is constructed of sturdy powder coated wire. The square bin folds quickly and easily and features an adjustable bottom shelf for displaying a variety of merchandise. A happy owner of the square bin says “I love that it takes up little space while holding a lot of merchandise. Being able to dis-assemble it and pack it away neatly in my limited trailer space is a plus”.

Have jewelry or other small items to display? Then check out the 16 hook counter top display or the 12 hook countertop spinner. They are both compact but can display a lot of smaller items. There are also a wide variety of jewelry trays to choose from to display all your pretty and shiny trinkets.

Setting up quickly and easily leaves you with more time to enjoy the sights and sounds at the festivals and cuts down on the headaches. So make things a little easier on yourself by getting the appropriate displays and go have some fun!
