Over the years,Think You Don’t Need Fish Bowl Displays? Think Again. Articles fish bowl containers have gone from simply serving as homes for the household pet fish to providing owners of stores and other businesses with durable and versatile fixtures for creating attractive and convenient product displays.

Fish bowl containers are available in a variety of sizes and shapes, which helps store and business owners easily find the containers best for their needs. Too, these containers are available in either plastic or glass, which means store owners with elegant atmospheres can choose glass fish bowl containers to complement their business’s stylish air, while busier businesses that cater to a wide range of customers and serve high volumes of traffic can use plastic fish bowls to achieve the same benefits with less risk for accidents.

If you’re not sure whether fish bowl displays will help your business, ask yourself the following five questions.

1. Does my business offer complimentary or convenience items?

Whether you manage a restaurant and offer your patrons after dinner mints and toothpicks, or you operate a hotel and keep convenience items like small bottles of shampoo, condition, soap, toothpaste, and mouthwash in the rooms’ bathrooms, if your business offers any kind of complimentary products, you have a need for fish bowl displays.

2. Do I or any of my employees receive tips from customers?

While some customers wait to hand deliver tips to employees, others prefer the quick and easy method of just dropping their tips somewhere safe. Small and medium fish bowls situated on restaurant tables or bars, for example, work well to collect tips from customers who are in a hurry.

3. Does my business ever display any promotional merchandise?

If your business ever creates displays for promotional merchandise, consider using fish bowl containers. Liquor distributors, for example, often create displays of miniature drink promotions and large fish bowls work well to conveniently and attractively display the bottles.

4. Does my business sell small merchandise?

Even though fish bowl containers are available in many sizes, obviously small merchandise works best when it comes to creating product displays.

If your business sells any of the following kinds of items, consider using fish bowls to display them:
  • Candy, including wrapped candy and gumballs.
  • Novelty or souvenir items like products with your state’s emblem or local university’s mascot printed on them.
  • Travel-sized hygiene products such as bottles of lotions, shampoo, and condition or tools like eyeglass repair kits or on-the-go sewing kits.
  • Convenience items like lighters.
  • Small hobby and craft items such as buttons, beads, spools of thread or ribbon, and small containers of glitter.
5. Does my business ever offer discounts or specials?

If your business ever offers any special discounts or coupon offers and you want to make sure your customers – both regular and new – are aware of these promotions when they happen, consider using fish bowls to collect business cards or cards you provide from them to jot down their names and telephone numbers. This method also works well for establishments that regularly hold drawings for freebies for their customers.
