When buying retail display showcases for the front counter, you’ll want
to balance aesthetics, security, and functionality. Here’s a breakdown
of key factors to consider:
1. Purpose & Product Type : What are you displaying? Jewelry,
electronics, pastries, accessories, or impulse items all have different
requirements. Size and quantity of items: Make sure shelves and
compartments are suitable for the dimensions of your merchandise.
2. Visibility & Design : Only get cases with tempered glass. Ensure
products are visible from customer-facing sides. Built-in LED lighting
enhances product visibility and appeal. Display height and angle: Cases
should be sized to appropriately to catch attention.
3. Security Features: Lockable doors or drawers: Crucial for valuable or
small high-theft items. Durable materials: Strong metal or wood bases
add both security and longevity.
4. Build Quality & Materials : Frame: Look for steel, aluminum, or
hardwood for durability. Finish: Match your store aesthetic (e.g.,
modern, rustic, luxury).
5. Accessibility: Easy access for staff: Sliding or hinged rear doors
should open smoothly.
6. Size and Fit : Measure your counter space: Avoid overhang or
awkward gaps. Storage integration: Some units come with drawers or
cabinets underneath for inventory.
7. Price vs. Value: Budget appropriately: Don’t sacrifice durability or
aesthetics to save a little money.
