The difference between hangers has to be in their function rather than in their type. The way hangers are used in a closet and in a store is different. In a closet, the hangers do not necessarily need to be the same. In addition, several models can be used for each type of clothing, whereas at the point of sale, we need standardization to leave the environment uniform.
The idea is to choose one type (wooden, plastic, acrylic) to maintain visual harmony. The difference between hangers has to be in their function and not in their type. Today’s article will focus on the functionality of each hanger for the point of sale and point you to a store that sells all types of clothes hangers.
Functions of Clothes Hangers in the Store
Structured (Anatomical) Hangers
Wooden hangers are more resistant, which is why they are recommended as coat hangers or for heavier items. Plastic ones can be used for blazers, for example. The model with hem is used to display the pants of sets such as suits and suits and the more rounded tip helps to protect the shoulder pads of these products.
Hangers with Clips
They are recommended for buttons (pieces worn on the lower part of the body) such as pants, skirts, shorts, and single shorts. The smaller size model is used to display bikini panties and lingerie. Furthermore, strapless blouses and dresses must be displayed on this type of hanger to prevent them from sliding and falling after any manipulation. Some flat hanger models allow you to add separate clips as needed.
Simple Hangers
This hanger with openings at the top and bottom is suitable for all types of tops (clothes worn on the upper part of the body), such as blouses, shirts, jackets, tank tops, t-shirts, etc. Tops with straps are not at risk of slipping and falling when attached to the opening at the top of the hanger. Dresses are also well displayed on this type of hanger.
Lingerie Hangers
This hanger model is specific for displaying panties and bras as it is possible to attach straps to the top openings and panties to the side openings.
Bikini Hangers
Bikinis can be displayed on hangers with clips, but these models add more value to the product as they show the pieces open, highlighting details for the customer.
5 Tips for Choosing the Most Suitable Hanger
- It is important that the hanger hook is rotatable so that the front of the product is always facing the consumer.
- All hanger hook openings must always be in the same direction and facing the bar (and not the consumer), making it easier for the customer to remove the product from the equipment and for the management team to replace it.
- Metal hangers take up less space on racks and stock, but they deform the product and, over time, can rust and stain clothes.
- Hangers can also communicate and add value to the brand, so never choose them just for the price but for the image they convey, that is, cooler (colorful), more sophisticated (wooden), personalized (exclusive), etc.
- You can develop different hangers for specific product lines, sectors, or mini-collections. As long as they are practical and fulfill the objective of enhancing the product, creativity is the limit!
