As a veteran storeowner,How to Get Creative With Fish Bowl Containers Articles a new storeowner, or even just a customer who’s been in a store, you’re probably well aware of the popularity of fish bowl containers. These display fixtures work well for nearly every kind of retail business, and because of their durability they act as great storage tools long after they’ve served as display fixtures.However, because of how popular they are, people are used to seeing them all the time. How can you benefit from these useful containers and still offer your customers a creative merchandise display?1. Mix Different Sizes and Shapes of Fish Bowls in Your DisplayLike most display containers, fish bowls are available in a wide variety of sizes. You can find small, medium and large fish bowls, and you can mix and match the containers in numerous ways to create eye-catching merchandise displays.You might not have realized, though, that fish bowls are also available in various shapes. When people think of these containers, they think of the traditional round bowls to keep fish in; however, in addition to round, these containers are also available in styles with flat sides and styles designed to balance on their sides.You can mix and match both sizes and shapes to create unique merchandise displays over and over!2. Use Your Display Merchandise to Its AdvantageSpend some time considering the merchandise to display in the bowls. Within one display, choose several different items that are related to one another (to offer convenience) as well as interestingly packaged (to add visual appeal).Of course, this will work better from some store than it will for others. For example, businesses like candy stores, hobby shops, and toy stores can get more creative with candy, sequins, and novelty toys than businesses like hardware stores can get with nuts and bolts.3. Kick Up Visual Appeal With Colored Fish BowlsClear is probably the most popular color for most plastic containers; however, just as you can find other kinds of display fixtures in different colors, you can find fish bowls in different tints! You can choose colors to match your store’s décor or theme, or you can choose colors to match the current holiday or season. You can even choose colors to match the colors of your city’s university or professional sports teams.In addition to fish bowls with colored tints, you can order fish bowls silk screened with your store’s logo. Not only does this add extra visual appeal to your displays and help add continuity to your store, but containers featuring your logo can also act as additional marketing!
