3 Ways to Get the Most from a Retail Merchandise Unit

A retail merchandise unit (RMU) can present a number of benefits to an owner. In this post we consider some of these benefits and look at how to take full advantage of them, read on for more information.

Follow Footfall

A retail merchandise unit may be attached to a wall or static outlet; however, in general the units are free standing and completely manoeuvrable. It is this ability to be moved that can present a potentially huge advantage to owners. Instead of waiting for customers to find their shops, retailers can take their shops to customers. RMUs also present owners with the opportunity to reach customers who are out of grasp for static shops. Owners are also able to set up in high traffic locations and to follow footfall.

An Introduction into Retail

The traditional route into retail is to buy or rent a shop. This can require a great deal of investment and may even be prohibitively draining on resources. However, a more cost effective route does exist: namely, a retail merchandise unit. The units have comparatively low start up and running costs. What’s more, the units are often located in open spaces with 360 degree visibility, allowing for maximum exposure. Once established, some retailers may make the move to a larger, static outlet; however, many remain with their RMUs.

Low Risk Expansion

An existing business may want to expand, but the high risk involved in buying another premises may put them off. An RMU can present a viable alternative to those who want to grow their brand. The units require relatively few resources, allowing for comparatively low risk expansion. Furthermore, the units can be used as a cost efficient method to test the market with new products or to try out new locations.
