How Are Acrylic Boxes Used in Retail?

 

Suggestion Boxes

For many retail locations, creating member reward programs or conducting the occasional giveaway raffle is an integral method of keeping customers engaged with your brand. An easy way to support this effort is to have an acrylic ballot box by the entrance of the store or near the cash wrap where customers can fill out surveys, forms, or enter contests. This is an anonymous, safe, and convenient way to collect information all in one neat spot.

 

Countertop Displays

From food bins, gadget collection stations, to simply organizing hot-selling items. Put merchandise within or on top of acrylic boxes and grab the attention of your customer right before they check out by putting their guilty pleasure right in front of them. There is no better use of an acrylic box than to use it for convenient storage! Transparent and versatile, it can be used across most industries for merchandise of varying sizes.

 

Display Stand


Use acrylic boxes for their stability, good looks, and height and make an impression on your customers. Acrylic boxes are the perfect platform to display a single item and highlight all its unique features that might otherwise be overlooked. Create a tiered effect by using or stacking acrylic boxes of various sizes for a variety of complementary items.

 

POS Organization


While acrylic boxes are a wonderful visual merchandising tool, that doesn’t mean they have to be used exclusively for the eyes of your customers. As a retailer, you know that your cashiers require lots of bins and boxes to keep tidy many much needed items such as hole punchers, gift bags, rubber bands, pens, and business cards. Use acrylic boxes to store and organize all of these must-have retailer items and benefit from the clear transparency to avoid lost time rummaging around the back of the counter while conducting a sale and interfacing with your customers.
