1. Balance and Proportion - Standing Proud


Symmetrical Balance: Ensures consistency and order by evenly distributing visual weight on both sides of the display. 
Asymmetrical Balance: Creates interest by using items of varying weights, guiding the shopper's gaze across the display. 
Proportion: Ensures the ratio of merchandise to display space is harmonious, avoiding overcrowding while maintaining visual appeal.

 

2. Contrast and Colour


Use contrasting colours (e.g., black and white or complementary hues) to create focal points that draw attention to specific products.
Incorporate color psychology to evoke emotions and align with brand identity

 

3. Dominance and Focal Points - Using the Brand Prescence

 

Highlight feature items by placing them in dominant positions within the display.
Use lighting or accessories to emphasize key products and direct customer focus. 

 

4. Movement and Rhythm - A Neat Brand Presentation for Your Display Stand


Arrange products in patterns or sequences that guide the customer’s eye naturally through the display, enhancing engagement[1].
Utilize slanted shelves or tiered designs for improved visibility and flow.


5. Materials and Refinements - Elevate the Brand


Choose high-quality materials like acrylic, wood, or ABS plastic to elevate product perception.
Add refinements such as glossy finishes, matte surfaces, embossing, or die-cut structures for a luxurious and tactile experience.

 

6. Interactive Elements - Modernise the Brand - Be Jiggy with It


Incorporate interactive features on a counter or table display like touchscreens, samples, or trials to engage customers directly and create memorable experiences


7. Signage and Branding - Direct the Brand Customer to the Display Stand


Use clear signage with pricing and product information to guide customers effectively.
Ensure branding elements on your countertop display are consistent across the display to reinforce brand identity.

 

8. Placement Strategies - Stand Out Where your Display Stand Goes

 

Position countertop displays in high-traffic areas like checkout counters for maximum visibility.
Analyze foot traffic patterns to optimize placement for customer interaction.
By applying these principles, retailers can craft counter displays that are both visually

stunning and strategically effective in driving sales.
