Seasonal and holiday merchandise offers your stores the opportunity to boost sales through carefully curated merchandise combinations and eye-catching displays that drive impulse purchases. Selecting the right display fixtures is crucial for maximizing space, efficiency, and sales. We asked our team of fixture experts at Midwest Retail Services to share their top recommendations for seasonal, mobile, and temporary merchandising displays that you could use to increase holiday and seasonal sales in your stores. Here are some of the ideas they wanted to share with you…
Chris Bell: Mobile Gondolas or 4-Way Merchandisers Offer Options
“These are excellent display options for your store that are available in various styles, colors, heights, and depths, allowing you to customize them to suit your needs. Both options can help increase sales and drive traffic to any part of your store.
These two fixtures offer flexibility in placement; whether at the front entrance, in high-traffic areas, or for cross-merchandising with other products. You can even use them to create a queuing area near the registers to encourage impulse purchases.”

Bill Goebel: Use Mobile Merchandisers for Flexibility
“Seasonal merchandise often requires flexibility, and mobile displays are perfect for that. I recommend mobile wire or pegboard spinners for displaying smaller, pegged items like gloves, hats, or carded products. For even more versatility, slatwall mobile merchandisers offer customizable shelving, peg hooks, and baskets – plus the casters allow you to move them easily throughout the store, creating cross-sell opportunities and expanding SKU counts wherever needed.”

Sarah Rogers: The Multi-Use Display
“The Multi-Use Display is one of our top solutions for seasonal merchandising. It’s incredibly versatile and you can use it for both shelved and pegged items. This fixture even comes with side kicks for those additional, high-profit items. Everything you need to set up an effective seasonal display comes in just two boxes, and it’s easy to store away once your seasonal inventory is cleared out.”
Will Kalal: Spot Merchandising Multi-Use Display
“For stores that want to maximize both shelving and hanging space, the Spot Merchandising Multi-Use Display is a fantastic option. This unit offers two sides of gondola shelving and two wire wing panels allowing you to display a variety of merchandise types. It’s perfect for quick product resets and ships in just two boxes, making it ideal for spur-of-the-moment seasonal changes.”
Will also highlighted the use of casters with this display, allowing you the flexibility to move it around your sales floor (or you can use it without casters for a more permanent fixture.)

Matt Ray: Midwest Wire Grid Gondola
“For lightweight seasonal items, I recommend our Midwest Wire Grid Gondola. Its small footprint and 360-degree merchandising make it ideal for displaying products from all angles. The slatgrid panels can hold hooks, shelves, and more. This fixture is mobile and can be easily broken down when not in use, making it a great option for pop-up holiday stores or temporary seasonal displays.”

Dennis Mahin: Wire Grid Dump Bins for Bulk Items
“Another great option for seasonal displays is the wire grid dump bin. These bins are an economical and low-maintenance solution, especially for larger or loose products like you’d find in Pet Supply Stores. Bins come in a variety of sizes to fit your specific store layout and can grab customer attention quickly. If you have a higher end or more luxury bulk item, you may be interested in our new Premium Shelf Bin System that attaches directly to gondola shelving.”

Seamus Anglin: The 4-Way Display with Casters
“For maximum flexibility, I recommend the 4-Way Display with casters. This unit offers four sides of merchandising space and works with a wide variety of shelving, peg hooks, and accessories. The casters make it easy to move anywhere on the sales floor and the display offers the option for use with either slatwall, slatgrid, or pegboard backs, making it adaptable to any seasonal merchandising need.”

Bob Mollwitz: Mobile Merchandisers and Gondolas
“I’m on the same page as Bill, Chris, and Seamus when it comes to mobile merchandisers for seasonal displays. Our mobile Lozier Gondola is particularly popular, and we’ve developed a custom caster kit to fit it. Whether you’re looking for a mobile gondola or a mobile 4-Way Display, these units offer flexibility and great cross-merchandising opportunities for any retail segment.”
