			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.sishop.com.au/livewire-cable-system-c-27/tracking-c-27_30">Livewire</a><sup>TM</sup> cable display systems are all the rage in real estate office windows these days.  Not only are they stylish and practical, but they also look great and really catch the eyes of passers-by.</p>
<p>SI Retail’s <a href="http://www.sishop.com.au/livewire-cable-system-c-27/tracking-c-27_30">Livewire</a><sup>TM</sup> cable display system runs from the ceiling to the floor, offering full coverage of your window and providing ample space for you to display your window cards.  Your window cards simply slide into the folded sheets of clear acrylic, which come in A4, A3 or A2 configurations.</p>
<p>The anodised aluminium tracking option enables the <a href="http://www.sishop.com.au/livewire-cable-system-c-27/tracking-c-27_30">Livewire</a><sup>TM </sup>configurations to be changed easily. Simply install your tracking to the size of your window and slide the top and bottom <a href="http://www.sishop.com.au/livewire-cable-system-c-27/tracking-c-27_30">Livewire</a><sup>TM</sup> connectors across the tracking and re-secure in place.  This saves unnecessary drilling in the ceiling and floor when your signage configuration needs to change with added properties.  The “invisible” cable wire holds it all together without drawing attention away from what you want people to look at – your listings!</p>
<p>Outside your office, standard or premium <a href="http://www.sishop.com.au/brochure-holders-c-69/catalogue-stand-c-69_70">catalogue stands</a> are great for holding the latest version of the Homes Pictorial or your own catalogue.  Customised <a href="http://www.sishop.com.au/promotional-signage-c-54/sign-boards-c-54_59">signboards</a> also work well to show people when your office is open and what it is you deal in: houses, land, units, townhouses, etc.</p>
<p>Inside your office, <a href="http://www.sishop.com.au/brochure-holders-c-69/counter-c-69_71">acrylic brochure holders</a> are great for holding rental lists or property brochures – and <a href="http://www.sishop.com.au/brochure-holders-c-69/counter-c-69_71">business card holders</a> go without saying!  SI Retail also sells <a href="http://www.sishop.com.au/sign-ticket-frames-c-61/acrylic-sign-holders-c-65/a4-portrait-double-sided-acrylic-sign-holder-p-2764">acrylic sign holders</a>, which can be placed on the counter to notify customers of important information, such as “We Do Not Accept Cash”, “No Rentals Currently Available”, or “Please Ring the Bell if Reception is Unattended”.  (Keep an eye out for SI Retail’s newest and most affordable brochure holder range, due in June.)</p>
<p>But what about your open houses or display homes?  <a href="http://www.sishop.com.au/promotional-signage-c-54/bunting-c-54_60">Bunting</a> is a great way to attract the attention of people driving past, and SI Retail’s <a href="http://www.sishop.com.au/promotional-signage-c-54/bunting-c-54_60">bunting</a> can be customised to suit your branding.  Check our <a href="http://www.sishop.com.au/promotional-signage-c-54/bunting-c-54_60">website</a> for the list of colours that are available.  <a href="http://www.sishop.com.au/promotional-signage-c-54/bunting-c-54_60">Bunting</a> is available per metre, but minimum order quantities apply.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.sishop.com.au/flybanners-c-58/custom-flybanners-c-58_101">FlyBanners</a> and <a href="http://www.sishop.com.au/sign-ticket-frames-c-61/a-frame-c-61_64">A-frames</a> are also great for indicating which property is open for inspection.  <a href="http://www.sishop.com.au/flybanners-c-58/custom-flybanners-c-58_101">FlyBanners</a> are available in teardrop and feather styles, and can be custom printed to suit your brand, logo and message – or you can try the stock standard “<a href="http://www.sishop.com.au/flybanners-c-58/pre-printed-flybanners-c-58_100">Open</a>” message.  <a href="http://www.sishop.com.au/sign-ticket-frames-c-61/a-frame-c-61_64">A-frames</a> can be placed at the property’s entrance to serve as a brand reminder and also to convey important information, such as the opening times and the salesperson that is on site.</p>
<p>By making it as easy as possible for your customers and getting them off on the right foot to begin with, you have much more chance of making a sale!  So check out our <a href="http://www.sishop.com.au/products.php">website</a> today to view our full range of products.  We have plenty of items to help you!  If we are missing something from our real estate range that you have been trying to source, please let us know by calling 1800 211 122 or by filling out our online survey <a href="http://www.sishop.com.au/tellus.php">here</a>.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Picture this: you’ve come home from a long day at work and you really don’t want to go to the gym, but you promised yourself that you would.  You’re looking for any possible excuse to get out of it.  “My gym clothes are dirty!” … “I need new gym shoes!” … “My towel hasn’t been washed since last time!”  But then you remember that your gym supplies clothes, shoes and towels, so you follow your original plan and head to the gym as you had promised yourself.</p>
<p>How often does this happen to your customers?  Could you encourage them to come to the gym more by offering items, such as towels, shorts, shirts, socks, shoes, and mats for sale or hire?  If you have wall space or floor space that isn’t being used, then you have the opportunity to promote these items.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.sishop.com.au/products-c-11/wall-strip-system-c-11_40">Wall stripping</a> can be easily screwed into your walls, and there are many <a href="http://www.sishop.com.au/products-c-11/wall-strip-system-c-11_40">wall strip accessories</a> available to suit your needs.  <a href="http://www.sishop.com.au/products-c-11/slotwall-system-c-11_32">Freestanding slotwall gondolas</a> are great for unused floor space, and because they’re mobile, you can move them around as you need to.</p>
<p>Both the <a href="http://www.sishop.com.au/products-c-11/wall-strip-system-c-11_40">wall stripping</a> and <a href="http://www.sishop.com.au/products-c-11/slotwall-system-c-11_32">slotwall gondolas</a> are ideal for displaying merchandise – whether it is your own brand, your sponsor’s brand, or other respected brands within the industry.  The available accessories include various <a href="http://www.sishop.com.au/wall-strip-system-c-40/arms-c-40_44">arms</a> and <a href="http://www.sishop.com.au/wall-strip-system-c-40/arms-c-40_44">rails</a> that are great for <a href="http://www.sishop.com.au/slotwall-system-c-32/arms-c-32_34">holding clothes</a> hangers, <a href="http://www.sishop.com.au/wall-strip-system-c-40/shelving-c-40_47">shelving options</a> for <a href="http://www.sishop.com.au/slotwall-system-c-32/shoe-shelves-c-32_36">shoes</a> and neatly folded piles of clothes or towels, and the innovative <a href="http://www.sishop.com.au/wall-strip-system-c-40/hangshelf-c-40_42">HangShelf</a>, which allows you to both shelve and hang items with the one accessory.</p>
<p>SI Retail also has very <a href="http://www.sishop.com.au/products-c-11/sign-ticket-frames-c-11_61">effective signage solutions</a> available to help <a href="http://www.sishop.com.au/products-c-11/hanging-signs-accessories-c-11_74">attract your customers’ eyes</a> to your new displays.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>At SI Retail, we are very pleased to announce our new range of wire storage racks.  From storerooms and warehouses to workshops and garages in your own home, SI Retail’s new wire storage racks can help you to clear valuable floor space and manage your goods or excess stock.</p>
<p>These new wire storage racks are 1800 mm high, but there are options for length (900 mm or 1200 m) and depth (450 mm or 600 mm).  They can hold up to 125 kgs, but it is recommended that the weight be evenly distributed across the shelves, and it is advisable to start from the bottom shelf and work your way upwards, so as to ensure that the centre of gravity is as low as possible.</p>
<p>With 4 tiers each, the new racks come in either black or chrome and extra accessories are available to tailor the racks to suit your needs.  You can add castors and handles for easy manoeuvring in store and out the back.  Fencing for around the shelf and colour-matched dividers are also available, which is especially handy if you are using these racks as an in store display.</p>
<p>Ideal for hospitality kitchens, our wire racks can be used for storing pots, pans, and other cooking utensils, or they can be used in your cold rooms!  Because these racks are made from zinc-coated steel with a powder coat finish, they are suitable for cold rooms.  The finish is hardy and robust and the zinc coat will prevent the metal from rusting – even if the finish does get scratched.</p>
<p>In retail settings, you can place these new racks in the storeroom and use them for storage, or you can place them ‘on the floor’ and utilise them as an in store display. By using multiple racks and adjusting the heights of the shelves, you can create an effective display that draws attention to your products.</p>
<p>Although the packs come with 4 shelves, you are free to use 3 or 2 shelves in order to vary the shelf height to fit your products.  With these new racks being so easy to assemble and adjust, you’ll always be able to manipulate the shelf height and configuration to suit your requirements.</p>
<p>As always, our prices at SI Retail are highly competitive, and the affordable pricing on the wire storage racks will be no different.</p>
<p>The new wire storage racks are coming soon, so watch this space for further details!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>It has been proven that effective <a href="http://www.sishop.com.au/products-c-11/hanging-signs-accessories-c-11_74">signage</a> can increase your sales and stimulate impulse purchases.  It costs a lot of money to advertise to bring new customers into your store, but it is much cheaper to spend a little money on <a href="http://www.sishop.com.au/products-c-11/hanging-signs-accessories-c-11_74">signage</a> to advertise to your existing customers – the people who are already in your store.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.sishop.com.au/products-c-11/hanging-signs-accessories-c-11_74">Signs</a> are a great way to generate excitement and to let your customers know about your new arrivals, upcoming sales or special discounts.  SI Retail has some great <a href="http://www.sishop.com.au/products-c-11/hanging-signs-accessories-c-11_74">hanging signs</a> to help you get your message across.</p>
<p>Ideal for ceiling spaces, <a href="http://www.sishop.com.au/hanging-signs-accessories-c-74/poster-hangers-c-74_76">poster grips</a> frame your sign – top and bottom – with their ‘snap’ grip.  The plastic <a href="http://www.sishop.com.au/hanging-signs-accessories-c-74/poster-hangers-c-74_76">poster grips</a> are the more cost-effective option, but for a professional finish, choose the aluminium <a href="http://www.sishop.com.au/hanging-signs-accessories-c-74/poster-hangers-c-74_76">poster grips</a>.  These <a href="http://www.sishop.com.au/products-c-11/hanging-signs-accessories-c-11_74">hanging signage</a> solutions suit warehouses and department stores with many product categories, as they highlight points of interest to make your customers’ shopping experience easier and more enjoyable.  <a href="http://www.sishop.com.au/hanging-signs-accessories-c-74/quad-tri-ramas-c-77/hanging-tri-rama-ceiling-display-large-a3-ls-p-462">Tri-ramas</a> (with 3 sides) and <a href="http://www.sishop.com.au/hanging-signs-accessories-c-74/quad-tri-ramas-c-77/quad-rama-ceiling-display-p-460">quad-ramas</a> (with 4 sides) display your message at 360° angles and are ideally placed in open spaces.  Accompanying these <a href="http://www.sishop.com.au/hanging-signs-accessories-c-74/quad-tri-ramas-c-74_77">hanging signage</a> options are accessories such as <a href="http://www.sishop.com.au/hanging-signs-accessories-c-74/ceiling-accessories-c-75/300-1500mm-spring-sky-wire-hanger-p-469">extending</a> and <a href="http://www.sishop.com.au/hanging-signs-accessories-c-74/ceiling-accessories-c-75/300mm-sky-wire-ceiling-hanger-p-466">fixed hangers</a>, <a href="http://www.sishop.com.au/hanging-signs-accessories-c-74/ceiling-accessories-c-75/klinch-ceiling-hook-white-p-470">klinch hangers</a>, <a href="http://www.sishop.com.au/hanging-signs-accessories-c-74/ceiling-accessories-c-75/sky-fix-adhesive-p-463">adhesive hangers</a>, and <a href="http://www.sishop.com.au/hanging-signs-accessories-c-74/suction-cups-c-74_78">suction cups</a>.  These accessories allow your <a href="http://www.sishop.com.au/products-c-11/hanging-signs-accessories-c-11_74">signs</a> to be hung in a variety of manners while still looking professional.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.sishop.com.au/products-c-11/hanging-signs-accessories-c-11_74">Signage</a> must always be professional and simple – and consistent!  Customers can scan <a href="http://www.sishop.com.au/products-c-11/hanging-signs-accessories-c-11_74">signs</a> more easily if they are consistent in colour, size, font, and layout.   Avoid using all capital letters, as this is harder to read than lowercase font, and make sure that you choose a simple font.  For longer messages, justify the text to the left rather than the centre, and highlight words by using either a different colour or bold.</p>
<p>Always make sure your <a href="http://www.sishop.com.au/products-c-11/hanging-signs-accessories-c-11_74">signs</a> are direct and concise.  Your message will get lost if you try to share too much information.  Give strong call-to-actions on your <a href="http://www.sishop.com.au/products-c-11/hanging-signs-accessories-c-11_74">signage</a> and encourage your customers to pick up the product or try it for themselves.  You can also use ‘sizzle statements’ to sell the benefits of the product instead of just the product itself.  And remember, customers perceive value as being much more than just price.</p>
<p>When it comes to listing prices and savings, make it easy to understand and be direct with your customers.  Show the sale price after the discount has been applied so that your customers don’t have to work it out for themselves.  You can also list the regular price and show the savings in either percentage or dollar value.</p>
<p>SI Retail also has a collection of <a href="http://www.sishop.com.au/products-c-11/pre-printed-tickets-c-11_68">pre-printed tickets</a> that are available in various sizes to help you make the most of your <a href="http://www.sishop.com.au/products-c-11/hanging-signs-accessories-c-11_74">signage</a> options.</p>
<p>To view the full range of <a href="http://www.sishop.com.au/products-c-11/hanging-signs-accessories-c-11_74">hanging signage and accessories</a> from SI Retail, visit <a href="../../">www.sishop.com.au</a> or phone 1800 211 122 to receive a catalogue.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Theft is a very real threat that every retailer encounters, and it can come in the form of shoplifting, organised retail crime and dishonest staff.</p>
<p>According to the Australian Institute of Criminology (AIC), there are approximately 7.3 million incidents of shoplifting per year.  It is estimated that each retailer will experience about 40 incidents of shoplifting to a value of $110 per incident.  This all adds up, and is even more worrying in the current retail financial climate.</p>
<p>The most common methods of shoplifting include leaving the store while carrying or wearing the stolen item, hiding or wearing the items under another piece of clothing, hiding the item in bags, umbrellas or prams, and switching price tags in order to pay less.</p>
<p>Suspicious behaviour, such as acting nervously, tugging at one’s sleeves, adjusting one’s socks, having an unusual walk, rubbing the back of one’s neck, intently watching the sales staff or wearing big coats in inappropriate weather are all telltale characteristics of shoplifters.</p>
<p>The location of the shop, the types of goods sold, and the shop layout and its display features can all contribute to how vulnerable a store is to shoplifting, but there are some easy, practical ways to deter shoplifters by making it more difficult to steal without being caught.</p>
<p>SI Retail’s <a href="http://www.sishop.com.au/stop-lock-security-clip-for-display-hooks-p-264">magnetic security system</a> – the <a href="http://www.sishop.com.au/stop-lock-security-clip-for-display-hooks-p-264">Stop Lock</a> – will keep your valuable stock safe while still allowing your customers to look at and feel the product.  The <a href="http://www.sishop.com.au/stop-lock-security-clip-for-display-hooks-p-264">Stop Lock</a> suits hooks up to 6 mm thick and works on all of SI Retail’s display hooks.  A <a href="http://www.sishop.com.au/stop-lok-magnetic-key-p-261">key</a> is required to remove the <a href="http://www.sishop.com.au/stop-lock-security-clip-for-display-hooks-p-264">Stop Lock</a> from display hooks, ensuring that your products are protected and less prone to theft.  The <a href="http://www.sishop.com.au/stop-lock-security-clip-for-display-hooks-p-264">Stop Lock</a> is ideal for hardware, electronic stores and any retailer with valuable stock in secure packaging.  This particular display hook <a href="http://www.sishop.com.au/stop-lock-security-clip-for-display-hooks-p-264">security system</a> isn’t bulky and can fit SI Retail’s pegboard and metalboard display hook range without detracting from the product itself.</p>
<p>SI Retail also stock <a href="http://www.sishop.com.au/security-mirror-p-491">security mirrors</a> to further boost your store’s security.  Contact SI Retail today on 1800 211 122 or visit <a href="../../">www.sishop.com.au</a> to view all of our retail security products.</p>
