12 Plush Display Ideas to Organize Your Collection

Plush toys displayed in a retail setting

What is it about a comforting hug from a Teddy bear? French researchers found that the emotional bond one shares with their own teddy bear elicits a strong perception of comfort. For their study, they looked at participants’ experience with their own Teddy bears vs strange bears’ physical and sensory characteristics to determine if they make a bear more comforting. Unsurprisingly, participants preferred their own bears over a “stranger bear.” The results of their 2022 study were independent of participants’ age, meaning plushies can provide comfort at all stages of life.  

That explains the connection we feel with our plush toys—even as adults. But what about what to do with our collections of stuffed toys? We can help. Keep reading for creative plush display ideas to keep them organized and keep the nostalgic feelings flowing.

Acrylic vs Plastic: What Is The Difference?

Sure, you already know the difference between glass and acrylic. But what about acrylic vs plastic? If you thought they were the same thing, you’re sort of right. Acrylic is a clear plastic—but it’s just one of many different clear plastics. Here, we’ll talk about a few of those plastics, and what makes acrylic unique. 

Key Takeaways

  • Acrylic is a plastic, but it’s a specific type—PMMA—that offers greater clarity, strength, and longevity compared to many other clear plastics.
  • Hand-crafted acrylic delivers a higher-end aesthetic than injection-molded plastics, with clearer joints and fewer imperfections.
  • Acrylic outperforms common plastics with better scratch resistance, UV protection, and resistance to yellowing over time.
  • Brand names like Plexiglas, Perspex, Lucite, and Acrylite all refer to forms of acrylic, each sharing core PMMA properties with slight variations.
  • Polystyrene is cheaper and more brittle, making it ideal for disposable goods rather than durable displays.
  • Polycarbonate is stronger but more expensive, used when high impact resistance is required.
  • For displays, acrylic offers the best balance of clarity, durability, and versatility, making it the preferred choice for most shopPOPdisplays products. Continue reading Acrylic vs Plastic: What Is The Difference?

5 Reasons Your In-Store Retail Displays Aren’t Working—and What to do Instead

How store owners choose to display products can have a great deal of influence on what sells and what doesn’t, but not all retail displays perform well. Getting it right is a bit of trial and error as customer habits and preferences are sussed out. There are, however, some tried-and-true ways to fix common mistakes that dampen sales potential.

Key Takeaways

  • Placement matters. Position displays where shoppers naturally look and walk—typically to the right and along a counter-clockwise path—to maximize visibility and engagement.
  • Create urgency. Limited-time offers and bold signage drive quicker decision-making and help shoppers notice deals they might otherwise overlook.
  • Keep displays tidy. Clutter and mess instantly turn customers off. Regular straightening and the use of bins, trays, and organizers keep your displays clean and intentional.
  • Offer variety. Mixing price points and complementary products encourages both upselling and impulse purchases, appealing to a wider range of customers.
  • Refresh frequently. Even strong displays lose impact over time. Rotate products, update layouts, and embrace seasonal changes to keep shoppers interested.
  • Use the right tools. High-quality signage, risers, containers, and custom displays—like those available from shopPOPdisplays—help maintain polished, effective, sales-driving presentations. Continue reading 5 Reasons Your In-Store Retail Displays Aren’t Working—and What to do Instead
