A look at the latest display solutions to help increase your in-store purchases.

With trade counters under pressure to move fast, manage growing product ranges and stand out in an increasingly competitive landscape, professional merchandising has become a commercial tool in its own right. Well-designed POS displays help guide the customer journey, maximise floor space and encourage confident purchasing – all while reinforcing a store’s professional image.

First impressions count

The moment a customer walks into a wholesaler, they begin forming an opinion of the business. Clean, well-organised shelving sends a clear message: this is a professional environment, run by people who care about quality and efficiency. Branded displays add another layer, helping customers instantly recognise trusted suppliers while creating a consistent look across the store.

For electricians, time is often limited. They want to find what they need quickly and feel confident in the products they are buying. Clear, attractive POS stands reduce visual clutter and make key product categories easier to navigate, creating a more relaxed and productive in-store experience.

Making every square metre work harder

Retail space is valuable, particularly in busy trade counters where storage, stock and customer flow all compete for attention. Jefferson Tools’ shelving and display solutions are designed to maximise visibility without overwhelming the space, with options that include floor units, wall-mounted displays and countertop stands. By using vertical space and modular layouts, wholesalers can present more products in a smaller footprint, keeping fast-moving lines within easy reach while freeing up valuable floor space elsewhere. This not only improves store layout, but also allows teams to adapt their displays as ranges evolve or seasonal demand changes.

Turning browsing into buying

How products are displayed has a direct impact on how customers engage with them. Items that are easy to see, touch and compare are far more likely to be purchased than those hidden away on crowded shelves or in storage areas. Professional display stands help elevate everyday tools and accessories, making them feel more premium and considered. From gloves and PPE to hand tools and consumables, clear presentation draws attention and encourages customers to explore beyond their original shopping list. Strategically grouping related items, such as accessories alongside core tools, also creates natural opportunities for upselling and cross-selling, increasing average basket value without any hard sell.

In high-traffic wholesale environments, speed and simplicity are key. Customers want to get in, find what they need and get back to site with minimal delay. Well-planned point of sale layouts guide them logically through the store, helping them locate products quickly and reducing bottlenecks around counters and aisles.

Clear category signage, consistent branding and well-positioned displays all contribute to a smoother flow, improving the overall shopping experience while helping staff spend less time directing customers to the right products.

Partnership beyond the stand

POS displays are an extension of your brand. A tidy, modern merchandising system reflects positively on the wholesaler, reinforcing trust and professionalism in the eyes of customers. In a competitive market, where many suppliers offer similar product ranges, the way those products are presented can become a key differentiator.

Branded shelving also supports supplier relationships, giving key ranges the visibility they deserve while creating a more cohesive and attractive retail environment.

Jefferson Tools supports stockists not only with physical display solutions, but also with guidance on layout, merchandising and promotional materials. This ensures each stand is positioned for maximum impact and continues to perform long after installation.

‘TIS (ALMOST) THE SEASON!

Test Instrument Solutions (TIS) is embarking on increasing the trade counter profiles of both TIS and KNIPEX products through new up-to-date displays.

These are both slat wall and free-standing metal systems. Particularly appropriate during the forthcoming festive season, the PoS products on view are a real tempter for people looking to treat themselves for Christmas and beyond.

TIS is seeing a massive demand for its electrical safe isolation range – fuelled by the ‘#SafeforSeptember’ campaign – which originated due to the ongoing and unnecessary level of deaths and injuries caused by inadequate equipment and/or training being supplied on this topic.   TIS has award-winning equipment within this sphere and is on a mission to make sure that cost should be no excuse. All trade counter merchandising uses the opportunity to display safe isolation equipment to maximum exposure.

Other test equipment on offer includes a cutting-edge range of extremely topical solar PV commissioning and maintenance test equipment, multi-award winning MFT & EVSE instrumentation, along with multimeters, clampmeters, environment measuring equipment, certification, plus all of the accessories to suit the entire range. An ISO9001 calibration division is also part of the organisation for back to base and on-site calibrations.

TIS and Wiha

TIS has been very successful in re-envigorating the KNIPEX brand to multiple electrical wholesale outlets following a decline due to Brexit. The company was subsequently approached by Wiha to distribute its range of torque screwdrivers and accessories to the electrical wholesale channels – so from October 2025 PoS hardware is also being rolled out to help promote the range of Wiha tools being supplied and supported by TIS.

If you require any information on the entire portfolio offered by TIS, then please email sales@tis-tic.co.uk, or visit the TIS website here

Lamp Source has introduced its innovative countertop unit, specifically designed for its bestselling multi-current LED driver.

With a compact footprint, this sleek and eye-catching unit is perfect for even the smallest trade counters. It also doubles as an excellent shelf filler. The unit prominently displays key features, benefits and a convenient QR code that links directly to detailed technical information.

This must-have display solution is available free of charge with orders of 18 or more multi-current LED drivers. Simply contact Lamp Source for further details or scan the QR code to complete an enquiry form.

What is a constant current LED driver?

A constant current (CC) LED driver is a type of power converter that maintains a consistent electric current supply to an LED or LED array. It’s designed to adjust the voltage across the LED circuit to ensure that the current remains constant. This stability is vital because LEDs are highly sensitive to variations in current. Slight changes can result in significant differences in light intensity, colour and lifetime, or may cause damage to the LED.

Therefore, CC drivers are essential for safeguarding LED devices against overcurrent and ensuring their longevity and consistent performance.

The multi-current LED driver

The FLS-42-1050 LD ADV is a 42W constant current LED driver with 300 to 1050mA output current and a forward voltage range from 9 to 52Vdc. The output current is adjustable by DIP Switch. With its compact dimensions from 97 x 43 x 30 mm, it is easy to integrate in LED panel and downlight products. The side covers are available as accessories and allow to use the LED driver independent.

• Suitable for wide range of products – would suit many LED panels and downlights.
• Simple to set current range – instructions for use printed on to the driver body
• No need to replace the complete fitting – just replace the driver
• Easy to stock – will cover many options
• Ideal as ‘mobile’ stock for maintenance engineers
• Compact

VIDEO STARS

With more than 100 years of heritage, Carl Kammerling International (CKI), home to C.K Tools, supplies a wide range of hand tools, tool storage, power tool accessories and lighting to the electrical and industrial trade.

Generating sales in a physical retail environment is crucial to the brand’s success and as a loyal partner to its trade customers, the business prides itself on providing the perfect solution for the end user, working closely with its retail partners to establish a strong bottom line.

Driving brand visibility

The impact an eye-catching display has on customers and their purchasing decisions cannot be underestimated. By installing engaging signage and branded materials at the point of sale such as C.K Tools-branded shelving, counter boxes and display solutions, retailers can reinforce brand recognition amongst customers as well as adding a fresh layout to their retail spaces.

Showcasing product USPs

Consumers increasingly prefer to consume video content rather than read text. POS merchandise which harnesses video content via in-store screens and visual display units (VDUs) provides an excellent opportunity for retailers to showcase new products and their features and benefits, in a format which resonates and offers a different perspective for end-users. As a brand driven by a product ethos of innovation, quality and durability, effective POS which communicates more effectively with an increasingly digital-savvy audience and conveys the unique selling points of C.K Tools’ premium hand tools – gives customers more confidence in their purchasing decisions.

Encouraging impulse purchases

On average, 70 per cent of decisions to purchase are made in-store. C.K Tools’ Fusion promotion, running until 31st May, is designed to capture attention, driving impulse purchases and supporting retailers, through a promotional mix of fresh displays, new ranges and great value deals of up to 65% on the brand’s high-quality range of premium hand tools. C.K Tools’ reward scheme also gives retailers access to promotional materials and POS for a low initial order value, making it the company’s most standout promotion to date and a fantastic opportunity for retailers to drive revenue.
