Acrylic Display Stands

When it comes to selling tangible goods, presentation is everything. By showcasing the books you want to sell in an acrylic book display, you ensure that potential customers have the best possible shopping experience.


They can see the books better and they appear to be more accessible than if they were hidden in a deep, wooden bookshelf. There are a lot more points that speak for this kind of bookshop shelving. One is that the customer sees the book so well, due to the transparency of the display, that they only take those books out of the shelf they are most likely to buy. Moreover, books less handled means they look “like new”, longer. Like mentioned before, these kind of showcases are transparent, making the book, and especially its cover, stand out more. In the end, you want to sell books and not shelves, so books are what the customer should see first.

They are easy to clean, look good longer, are incredibly durable and nearly unbreakable. Combine this with their low price and you have an unbeatable combination. To make the most out of them, it is important to never use any abrasive materials or liquids when cleaning them. A bit of warm, soapy water, a microfiber towel or simple window cleaner and an old, but clean, kitchen towel gets the job done without leaving scratches.

There are several possibilities where you can buy acrylic display stands. One obvious place would be at trade shows. Look out for them when you visit the next book fair. However, in my personal opinion, it is often cheaper to buy an acrylic book display online. I would use a trade show to see and handle them, but then would go hunting online for the best price. This way you get the best of two worlds! Acrylic displays are worth every cent you spend on them, but in today’s economy, it is important to keep an eye on your expenditure. Check online sites that offer them carefully for refund policy, warranty and the like and do not fear to compare prices and / or ask for bulk discount when ordering larger numbers. You might even consider a shopping coop with other bookshop owners in your area to take advantage of better bulk rates. No matter where you buy them, it is assured that you will not regret this investment and will benefit from your acrylic display stands for many years to come.
