Refresh Your Post Holiday Displays with Risers and Product Bins
If you maintain retail stores after the holidays then you know the problem isn’t effort, it’s time. Tables get overfilled, signage multiples, and the floor starts to feel messy right when the shoppers still want quick deals and those “fresh start” buys. The New Year is your best chance to freshen it up without a full reset.
The simplest fix is adding structure: risers, bins, trays, and a dependable product display stand that helps your team build a shoppable presentation in minutes.
Why Post-Holiday Displays Break Down (And What To Do About It)
After peak season, stores often end up with:
• Too many items on one surface
• Mixed price points and mixed stories
• A table that looks “picked over,” even though inventory is fine.
For store ops, the goal isn’t to build the perfect boutique display. It’s building a repeatable setup your team can execute consistently across all locations with minimal touch time. That’s exactly what simple, modular display equipment is built for: clean grouping, clear sight lines, and fewer “fix-it” visits throughout the day.
Add Height So Best Sellers Don’t Disappear
Risers are the fastest way to stop a table from turning into a flat pile. Even one raised focal point helps shoppers scan the offer and helps associates keep it organized.
You can use risers to:
• Raise bestsellers to eye level
• Keep a display looking full of product even as items sell
• Separate price tiers (Good/better/best)
• Create bundles that feel intentional
For a great choice of riser, check out our Acrylic Riser Display.

Use Bins To Control Small Item Chaos, Especially At Checkout
Post holiday tables and impulse zones usually fail because small items spread out. Bins fix that instantly. They also make it easier to maintain planogram-like orders without the complicated fixtures.
Bins work best for:
• “Under $15” or “Under $20” New Year picks.
• Multi-buy promos (2 for $X, 3 for $X)
• Stocking stuffer leftovers
• Grab-and -go items near the register
A simple option to build around is our Plastic Storage Bin.
Add Trays For Attach-Rate And Cleaner Add-Ons
Trays do a small but important job: They keep add-ons contained and make pairings obvious. This is especially useful when you’re running New Year themes (organization, wellness, “reset” routines) and you want customers to pick up one extra item without hunting.)
Use trays for things like:
• Accessories that pair with the featured item
• “Complete the set” add-ons at the counter
• Travel sizes and minis
• Small impulse items that otherwise scatter
Our Acrylic Display Tray is a great way to get started.

Where These Setups Work Best In Retail Stores
For store ops teams, placement matters because it determines how often a display gets disrupted and how often your staff has to fix it. These modular pieces work in zones where customers naturally pause.
High-return locations:
• Front table/entry: one themed table (“New Year Reset,” “Under $20 Wins”)
• Checkout/queue: bins + trays + a small riser for impulse wins
• Endcaps: tiered risers help the message read from the aisle
• Service Counter: a compact store display stand setup for quick add-ons
If you’re using multiple store formats, the advantage here is consistency. The same “riser + bins + tray” formula scales from a small footprint store to a larger front-of-store feature.
Three New Years Themes That Are Easy To Roll Out
These themes are practical for store teams because they don’t require special props or a full category move. They just need fresh groupings and one clear message.
“New Year, New Routine”
Use a riser for the hero products and bins for supporting players grouped by price. Add a tray for easy add-ons. This theme works because it feels fresh even if some of the inventory is carried over.
“Last Chance Seasonal” (without looking like a clearance dump)
Puts the best-looking items on a riser to keep the table premium. Sort the rest into bins by price point. Keep messaging minimal so it looks curated, not chaotic.
“Under $20 Wins”
Bins do the heavy lifting. Make each bin one category (snacks, accessories, small gifts, essentials) or one price band. It stays organized longer and it’s easier for your staff to maintain.
10-minute Reset Checklist (For Store Teams)
If you want something repeatable across locations, this is the quick route:
1. Clear and wipe the surface
2. Choose one theme or price message
3. Place one riser (or tiered shelf) as the focal point
4. Add 1 to 3 bins for supporting items (sorted)
5. Add one tray for add-ons
6. Face the product forward and make sure to leave breathing room
7. Use one clear and readable sign message and then stop.
That’s how you get a retail display stand setup that stays shoppable and doesn’t require constant babysitting.
Sourcing Note for B2B Teams
If you’re standardizing seasonal resets, consistency matters as much as creativity. Working with reliable display stands suppliers helps to make it easier to repeat the same winning setups across campaigns, stores and departments without having to reinvent the wheel every season.
