3 Ways to Create Beautiful Displays for Hospital Gift Shops

From flowers and balloons to cards and stuffed toys, many family members and friends want to buy “Get Well” gifts for their loved ones. Because of this, nearly every hospital has a gift shop and merchandise within hospital gift shops tends to sell itself.

However, that doesn’t mean hospital gift shop managers should skimp on their displays! Many hospital gift shops have space limitations to work with, and below are numerous fixtures you can use to create attractive and convenient displays in your hospital gift shop.

1. Countertop Displays

There’s a wide array of display fixtures perfect for every gift shop countertop – no matter how big or small it is.

Empty display fixtures like glass and plastic containers and fish bowls are ideal for creating your own countertop displays. You can find these containers in a variety of different shapes, sizes, and colors and can showcase many different kinds of merchandise including candy, novelty toys, and convenience items your loved one might need like travel-sized manicure sets and eyeglass repair kits.

If you’re not sure how to position your containers or you want to make sure you’re making the most of your countertop space, consider bucket countertop display racks. You can find these fixtures with six, eight, or ten buckets neatly positioned on plastic or wire racks and designed to help you keep your merchandise organized and your countertop clutter free.

Another great option for countertop displays in gift shops are rotating post card racks that you can fill with “Get Well” cards.

Whether you opt to go with stand-alone containers or bucket display racks, you can also find versions of the fixtures that are already filled with merchandise like candy or novelty toys. These are great time-savers for managers of busy hospital gift shops as well as gift shops that are just starting up.

2. Floor Displays

Glass and plastic containers and fishbowls work as well for countertops as they do for floors, but you need some kind of display rack to showcase them.

When it comes to display racks for hospital gift shops, the sky’s the limit. You can use traditional convenience store racks with shelves for showcasing stuffed toys, vases of flowers, or containers filled with merchandise, or you can find bucket display racks that come with containers for you to fill with any merchandise you like.

You can also find rotating clip racks for floor displays that allow you to clip “Get Well” cards.

As is the case with countertop displays, you can also find floor display racks already filled with popular items like candy and toys.

3. Wall Displays

Wall displays are perfect for gift shops, no matter how much space you have to work with.

You can always use fixed position racks with one display side and push them against your shop’s wall, but if you’re creating a display on your gift shops wall, consider bucket racks designed to hang. These racks generally come with buckets for holding your merchandise and you can also find them already filled with candy, toys, and other items.
