Simple, Effective Merchandising with Clear Plastic Hang Tabs
When it comes to merchandising, there are few better ways to make sure your products get spotted by customers than with hang tabs. Hang tabs (and especially clear plastic hang tabs) are a simple, affordable merchandising method that greatly increases sales for retailers across the globe.
That said, we don’t want to just leave things vague. If you’re a retailer considering clear plastic hang tabs for your merchandising displays, then you want to know the hard facts of how these hang tabs will help you. With that in mind, we’re taking this month’s blog post to discuss exactly how clear plastic hang tabs can increase your profits.
Hang Tabs Display Items at Eye Level
Perhaps the most significant benefit of hang tabs is their capability to hang smaller items at eye level. While smaller items tend to go unnoticed on shelves—sometimes even by those looking for them—hanging products at eye level makes them naturally noticeable. At the same time, hang tabs also save floor space and keep your products organized at an exceptionally low cost. And as any good merchandiser knows, getting noticed, saving floor space, reducing costs, and staying organized are the greatest hurdles to creating any successful retail display.
Hang Tabs Prevent Constant Bending and Strain
Additionally, hanging products at eye level makes it so both employees and customers don’t have to bend down so much. While this may not outwardly seem like a great benefit, over time it makes a tremendous difference.
Preventing Bending for Employees
For many people (but not all!), bending down once or twice on the job is no problem. However, constant bending over years of employment will almost certainly lead to injuries. In fact, you may find that making your employees repeatedly bend over could lead to:
- Back injuries and musculoskeletal disorders
- Chronic pain
- Lost work time due to pain and injury
- Worker compensation claims
So not only will using hang tabs keep employee injury off your conscience—it will also save everyone involved a lot of money.
Preventing Bending for Customers (or, “Eye Level is Buy Level”)
While some customers won’t mind bending down occasionally to grab an item, they’re simply much less likely to do so than grab an item at eye level. In fact, there’s even a saying for this phenomenon: “eye level is buy level.”
So why does “eye level is buy level” hold true? Well, for two basic reasons. First, because the effort it takes to bend down to learn more about a product often outweighs the customer’s initial curiosity in that product. This feeds back into fundamental merchandising wisdom: always make sure customer curiosity outweighs customer apprehension.
The second reason is one of simple accessibility. Simply put, a meaningful number of your customers will have mobility issues that prevent them from bending down without great difficulty. So, making sure your products are accessible at eye level isn’t just the capitalist choice—it’s also the compassionate one.
