Clothes Hangers

Apparel Store Basics

What's the first thing you think of when you hear the words apparel store? For most people it's clothes; they immediately visualize aisles and aisles of clothing, including everything from shirts, pants, and dresses to hats, shoes, and shorts. However, if you pose the same question to a retailer, the response is quite different and more often than not, will include the behind-the-scene items.

Setting up and running a successful apparel store requires a lot of thought and execution, especially when it comes to the small things. Not literally small, but more of the supporting actor role that helps shine a light on the star of the store... clothing. Consider how you display your apparel. Will it require an apparel rack and if so, do you want a round rack, a 4-Way, or will you be using hangrails along the wall? What about inventory in the back room? Generally a rolling rack is the best choice; it allows you the space to hang garments ahead of time that can then be rolled out onto the sales floor when merchandise needs to be replenished.

If you plan to display apparel in use, mannequins and forms are a must-have. An assortment of male, female and child mannequins gives shoppers an idea of what garments will look like and how they drape when worn, prompting more interest compared than clothing that is merely folded and stacked. In addition to mannequins, forms are an ideal solution when you don't have a lot of space but still want to display shirts and blouses. They can be hung along the wall, at the end of an aisle, or highlighted by using a costumer rack just about anywhere in the store. Styrofoam and molded heads require very little space and can be used for everything from sunglasses to hats and scarves.

To keep stores tidy and neat, consider hanging apparel, instead of folding and stacking. There are a variety of hangers available that run the gamut of apparel styles from shirts and dresses to pants, skirts and lingerie. Once apparel is hung, make sure it looks its best by eliminating wrinkles with the help of a steamer. Portable and durable, steamers can be used next to clothes racks and displays or kept in the back room for quick touch ups before taking items to the sales floor.

In addition to the above basics, there are a myriad of merchandising tools that play an important role in any apparel store. Shoe stores will need shoe benches for sitting and leg forms to display socks and hosiery. All stores need mirrors, regardless of whether they sell shirts and dresses or hats and shoes. Whatever we're buying, we all need a mirror to confirm what is being worn is exactly what we expected. Sporting apparel stores will benefit from hat racks, cap spinners, and hat merchandisers. As mentioned earlier, there is far more to an apparel store than what the customers see. Whether you are just starting out or simply need to make some additions to your store, we are here to help. Our friendly and knowledgeable staff can help answer any questions you have about our clothing displays and fixtures.
