Seasonal retail creates a great opportunity to turn unused outdoor space into productive selling space. Whether you're a grocery store, garden centre, hardware store or independent retailer, the area outside your storefront can become a valuable extension of your business.

With the right combination of storefront displays, merchandising equipment and portable garden centre structures, retailers can bring seasonal products outside, increase their visibility and create a more inviting shopping experience.

Make Better Use of Your Storefront

The space in front of a store is often one of the first things customers see, yet it can easily be underutilized.

Adding mobile carts, display racks, garden centre benching and other outdoor merchandising products can turn this space into a flexible seasonal retail area.

Depending on your business, storefront displays can be used for:

  • Plants and flowers
  • Hanging baskets
  • Planters
  • Soil and gardening products
  • Seasonal merchandise
  • Promotional products
  • Outdoor retail displays

The biggest advantage is flexibility. Displays can be added, moved and reconfigured as your inventory and seasonal promotions change.

 

Take Seasonal Retail Further With a Portable Garden Centre

For retailers that need more space, a portable garden centre can create a dedicated seasonal selling area without requiring a traditional permanent building.

Portable garden centre structures can help define the retail space, organize merchandise and create a professional outdoor shopping environment.

For grocery stores and other retailers with large parking areas, this can be an effective way to transform available outdoor space into a seasonal garden centre.

A successful seasonal retail area isn't just about adding more products. Presentation, organization and accessibility matter too.

Combining a portable garden centre with the right merchandising equipment can help create a complete retail environment.

At OutFront Portable Solutions, our outdoor retail solutions include products such as:

  • Portable garden centre structures
  • Heavy-duty garden centre benching
  • Monster Carts
  • Hanging basket displays and towers
  • Storefront merchandising displays
  • Portable cashier stations and tents

These products can be used individually or combined to create a seasonal retail setup designed around the available space.

Start Small and Expand

Not every retailer needs a complete garden centre.

A business may start with a few storefront displays or Monster Carts and expand its seasonal selling area as demand grows.

This gives retailers the ability to test different products, layouts and merchandising strategies without immediately committing to a large permanent retail expansion.

For operations that already have successful seasonal sales, adding a larger portable garden centre can create additional room for inventory while establishing a more defined shopping experience.

Your Parking Lot Could Be Valuable Retail Space

For grocery stores, hardware stores and other businesses with large parking lots, seasonal retail can provide an opportunity to make better use of existing property.

Instead of viewing the storefront or parking area simply as space customers pass through, consider how part of it could become an extension of the store during key selling seasons.

From a few strategically positioned displays to a complete portable garden centre, the right setup can help put seasonal merchandise front and centre.

Every storefront is different.

Available space, customer traffic, merchandise, season length and operating requirements all affect how an outdoor retail area should be designed.
