Display Ideas

 The Vintage Table

• Below you can see how shelves make a great back drop to a table. You can use lots more space with a set of shelves and paint them to suit your products, many charity shops (or more expensive vintage shops) have small shelves or dresser tops like this.
• Also there is the use of pin boards to display bunting which can look flat laid out on a table.
• I use artist tripods to hold up boards too, they can be set up behind or on your table and used to display a big logo if not more art work.
• Small suit cases are great on table tops to display prints, cards and other things because of the rim of the suit case holds items upright, also looks lovely with this vintage themed table!
• The table cloth is also beautiful and adds to the over all old world feel!

• Here the table has been replaced by a lovely dresser with handy draws for more storage!
• Crates are turned on there sides to created a shelf like display unit, making use of every level of the display to show poducts. people tend not to think below the table top, but there is alot of room to be had if you are able to cleverly show items at there best just ubove the floor. (don't make a pile of extra stock visible!)
• The table isn't ramed full of products, each item is carfully selected, there's even room for flowers which add to the theme.
• Trelis in the background is another great way to make more height and more display space. Any textiles you might have can be hung up behind your table.

No Table, Table..

• You can always get rid of the table all together! Here step ladders have been used to create height, different levels and ultimately more display room.
• I've seen another person use ladders facing the other way with polls instead of boards between the steps to hang children's cloths. 
• This display would fold up nicely at the end of your day too!

 The Small Table

• Sometimes you may not have much room, or much stock! A suitcase all set up and ready togo could be perfect.
• You can make compartments and shelves and pretty signs. 
• Why not line and old suit case with nice paper and paint the outside if its a bit worse for wear.
• You could also translate this to a bigger suit case or chest! Try the same ideas of compartments and built in shelves...
• Large chests are great to show piles of cushions or soft toys in, so people could have a good rummage around finding that special item.  

 Lots to See Table

• Getting rid of the table all together again, this person has used crates to make loads of display space, levels and interest.
• Using the same tones and textures of wood helps keep the display concise.
• The gap in the middle helps make the display not too over whelming. Also leaves room for the important logo!
• Each type of item has been given it's own space and a display background to suit. Small items hang from string in one box, long necklaces hand from a barrel in another spot.
• Theres an actual manikin to help demonstrate the product, and I'm sure the owner would be wearing the items beautifully too.
• There's also a bit of a shop space made by the boxes stick out creating a wall to the edge of this 'boutique' market stall.

Displays are personal, and should show of your items to there best. Don't be afraid to spend a bit on display units and items to get it right, and keep going until you do! It may be alot of hard work carrying units from car to stall space but markets are the best way to present yourself to the public, so it's worth it!
