First impressions matter! As a retailer, regardless of what you’re selling — jewelry, camping equipment, antiques — your display can pull people in or cause their eyes to glaze over in boredom. This is where magnets and magnetic displays come into play. Here are some creative ways to use magnets to showcase your products and sales material.

Create Dynamic Displays

Discreet neodymium and samarium-cobalt magnets can secure items in creative arrangements. For example, try suspending lightweight products with small disc magnets to create a floating effect. When it comes time to focus on seasonal sales, hang lights and other decorations to add to the holiday ambiance. You can also use block magnets to hold ferrous metal-backed frames or signage. For additional shelving, countersunk magnets can hold custom fixtures in place. 

Be Flexible. Change it Up!

A good salesperson never gets too comfortable. Rolling with promotions, seasons, and new stock is part of the process. Magnets allow for ongoing updates as they are easily repositioned without losing any durability. For signage, try using adhesive-backed neodymium magnets, moving posters from place to place on metal surfaces or magnetic boards. This allows you to stay current — switching things up throughout the days, weeks, and months.

Save Space & Reduce Waste

In retail — particularly if you’re in a small storefront — every square inch is valuable. To use your limited real estate effectively, take advantage of the underused vertical space with hook magnets. For example, you can hang and display items in front of and underneath the register. Magnets are ultimately an investment, reducing the need for single-use adhesives like tape, tack, and putty. That makes them eco-friendly and cost effective.
