On stands and in common spaces there are plenty of good examples of low cost displays and merchandising at the Gift fair in Melbourne.
This use of pallets for creating a noticeboard and display table could work in many businesses.
Gone are the days of spending more than we should on refitting shops. Instead, it is fashionable to repurpose old furniture and other items for retail display.
Funnyily enough, we were talking about using pallets in our pharmacies/newsagencies in WA today because they are large warehouse-type buildings. Also allows us to stack up a lot of product to look like a bulk-buy store.
