How to Display Handbags

Whether you manage a retail store that sells purses or make handbags to sell at craft shows, it's important for you to display them in a way that catches the eye of potential customers. Simply placing them on a table or hanging them haphazardly on a rack won't do the merchandise justice. Instead, use some creativity and display the handbags in a way that makes them stand out in the crowd. Does this Spark an idea?

Instructions

Retail Store

1

Install hooks or decorative knobs throughout the shop and hang different purses on them. Make a display of four to six purses hanging from hooks on a vacant wall between clothing racks or displays. This can entice customers to look at a new purse to go with the outfit they want to buy. Take advantage of small wall spaces that are otherwise unused.

2

Mount shelves on the walls that customers can easily reach. Arrange different styles, sizes and colors of handbags on the shelves to create a colorful and interesting display.

3

Place a well-dressed mannequin next to the entrance of the store or in an area with a display of purese. Hang a handbag on her arm. This will give customers an idea of how they can pair a new handbag with an outfit.

4

Turn a bunch of colorful storage cubes on their sides and stack them to create a pyramid-type structure. Stabilize them with wire ties and place a purse in each cube for display.

Displaying Handbags at Shows

5

Cover a large table with a piece of colored fabric to create a backdrop.

6

Arrange cardboard boxes -- large enough to top with one or two handbags -- on top of the table and drape pieces of fabric over the boxes to conceal them.

7

Place handbags in various positions on the table. Some can go on top of the boxes. Others can lean against the boxes.

8

Position a purse rack nearby and hang extra purses for sale on the rack.
