If there are two assets retailers value at a premium, time and capital rank right up there at the top of the list. Until now, one of the items retailers can't live without are their in-store fixtures, which always seem to cost and inordinate amount of both. But today retailers are saving money and time with a relative newcomer to the game: www.lowpricefixtures.com.



LowPriceFixtures.com saves retailers both by virtue of a unique business model that mixes stringent streamlining of processes and an Internet-aggressive approach to customer service. For instance, LowPriceFixtures.com offers it's entire line of garment racks, shelves, mannequins, graphics holders and more online. In fact, it offers its wares ONLY online via their website. By not writing, designing, printing and shipping physical product catalogs, the company saves tens of thousands of dollars each year.

To further cut overhead, the company has a single building, a 160,000 square foot warehouse where it keeps more than 750 different items in stock, and uses a sophisticated order fulfillment system which enables them to fill orders quickly with a minimal staff. How quickly? Most items ship within 48 hours of the order being placed.

Feasibly, a retailer could start with an empty building, pull up the website, place an order and have a store fully stocked with merchandise in under a week. In fact, it will probably take longer to load the merchandise onto the racks than it does to order and receive the fixtures.

All of these savings are translated directly to the customer, enabling LowPriceFixtures.com to offer the same high-quality products as their competitors at 50% to 75% less.

With a wide ranging line of garment racks, mannequins and form hangers, as well as shelving, graphics displays, an slatwall systems, you can outfit your entire sales floor from a single source, reducing the number of vendors a retailer must deal with, as well as the number of invoices to pay, which means less time spent managing that aspect of the business.

In fact, this was the whole concept behind www.lowpricefixtures.com, which is operated by Grand Central, Incorporated, to provide a single point of contact that operated efficiently and quickly to help remedy one of the least efficient aspects of the retail business. Rather than simple act as a way-point between manufacturers and retailers, they decided to operate a warehouse large enough to keep the items retailers need in stock and ready to ship at a moment's notice, and make ordering those items as simple as possible.

Today, the company does just that, shipping product daily to retailers from California and New York to Canada and the UK. The company has grown from its launch in 2004 and expects to see sales this year in excess of $1,000,000.00. And with customers ranging from fashion to bookstores to grocers to High End Retailers there is no reason not to expect that growth to expand.

It is a great example of what can happen when a business makes its mission to find unmet needs of its customers and find a way to meet them. "We're only here because retailers weren't satisfied with the status quo," says Dar, with LowPriceFixtures.com. "If retailers didn't need a better solution for obtaining the fixtures they need to run their business, we would have fallen flat on our faces. Today, we're proud to provide the best, fastest and most economical answers to those needs. And we're always looking for new ways we can help our retail customers grow."

The future looks bright for LowPriceFixtures--and, by extension, for retailers.
