Stores wanting to make profits must not neglect the importance of proper shelving. It helps build a strong relationship with customers for longer terms. A store having an appropriate number of shelves with proper height, color contrast, and distance creates a positive image of the store before customers. It doesn’t only help boost sales but makes shopping convenient for customers. Not only that but helps owners manage and display their products. Sorted shelving units create a good customer traffic flow and increase your sales. For owners, it’s necessary to develop an aesthetically appealing store environment. It helps convince customers to shop more. If the products are not visible or customers are unable to move around, you’re going to lose sales and a chance to earn loyal customers. Therefore when designing your store’s layout, be careful with all shelving systems. Carefully evaluate their placement throughout the store for an appealing look. Proper store shelving is dependent on multiple factors.

Every year, RedSheep exports hundreds of containers around the world. The majority of them are transported by marine vessels, with some freight being delivered by train. Sea freight has increased dramatically in the last two years as a result of the COVID-19 crisis. When compared to the cost of sea freight, the difference is significant. Many customers do not like the sudden increase. The increased prices have made it necessary to consider sea freight when making an international purchase. Customers are becoming a habit of asking for sea freight and calculating the CIF prices before confirming the orders. In general, if FOB prices are not too high and acceptable to the customers, the total with sea freight makes it seems like a worthless purchase to import goods from China. It seems like a high investment for low profits due to the high sea freight. To deal with such issues RedSheep is continuously working to improve its packaging and loading plan for containers. We are doing our best to come up with plans to save maximum container space to load maximum goods in a single container. It helps reduce the number of containers which eventually reduces the cost of transportation. For example, RedSheep loaded 15 containers of standard Tego shelving recently. We applied some of our improvements within this shipment that saved space while keeping the goods safe. We are glad to inform our customers highly appreciated the experiment upon receiving the goods.   Wooden Pallet Packaging of Tegometall Shelving The order
