TempurPedic In-Store Gallery Conveys Premium Image
TempurPedic is using a ‘Gallery’ design to convey a premium image.
The Gallery’s elegant and modern aesthetics engage the consumer, inviting them into the gallery space to lie down and test 'feel' the product. The privacy screen on the 2 sides of the gallery island gives the consumer a secluded and comfortable environment to engage and enjoy the emotional bond that TempurPedic desires with their product. The modular design allows the retailer to refresh their retail space with ease when completing new floor-sets. The accompanying hanging graphic sets are designed for flexibility-store windows, ceiling placement, wall placement, while working with all ceiling heights.
The TempurPedic Gallery System was produced by Innomark Communications, a Fairfield, OH-based display firm.
Nourison Creates Rug Boutique Display

A kiosk with panels that consumers can flip to look at rug samples, The Rug Boutique is under eight feet tall and uses seven linear feet of floor space. Rugs are available in every size and shape, including custom shapes and roll runners, helping to create add-on sales.

Miller Welding Provides Distributors With New Store Set
Miller Electric Co. wanted to grow sales and build brand recognition of its high quality welding machines and accessories in welding distributor showrooms. This five-piece Miller Welding Powershop Store Set includes three single-sided wall displays and two free-standing, three-sided kiosks.
The company also wanted to support distributors by enhancing their retail impact with attractive permanent displays that showcase Miller products and services.
Miller Weld’s Powershop Store Set creates a total merchandising solution for participating welding supply showrooms, which typically have little retail or merchandising flair since the majority of their customers are industrial accounts served directly.
These permanent displays enable the distributor to stock and display Miller products that will cater to the growing number of walk-in customers who are novice or part-time welders. Miller provides product assortments, signage and even restocking services as part of the package for this long-run, turnkey solution for its distributors.
Large diameter steel tubes, shelving and other components give an industrial look and, along with the medium density fiberboard slatwall, provide strong support for up to 100 pounds of product per shelf at an economical cost. Signage can be easily changed and, depending upon the showroom space, the optimum layout can be created from a "store set" which is typically three flat wall panels and two three-sided circular kiosks.
The Miller Welding Powershop Floor Set was produced by Menasha Display Company, (Web Site: www.menashadisplay.com), a Brooklyn Park, MN, and Philadelphia, PA-based display firm.

A total of 14 million households moved in 2008, versus a historical average of over 18 million. The Epsilon New Movers data, which captures renters in addition to home buyers, shows 50,000 more movers per month than the benchmark home sales data, suggesting that growing numbers of families are relocating into rental properties.
