Choosing the right mannequin for your retail store

When choosing the right mannequin for your retail store, you should be aiming to portray your brands image and feel.

While large chains can go to great expense with their mannequin window displays, for small retailers the same principle applies, even if you don't have the big corporate budget to dress your window. It can help to go to fashion websites or magazines and get some ideas to find poses, feels and imagery that suits your desired look.

Don't be afraid to add some touches of the exotic or flamboyant to your mannequin displays if it fits in with your brands aesthetic, after all the reason you have mannequins in your front window is to stand out from the crowd - right?!

Also, if you have time up your sleeve, custom colours and finishes are easy - we have done custom colours for both small and large orders - and it has been as simple as giving us a colour swatch from the paint colour boards at a paint store or Bunnings. And remember while you can always pick from a mannequin that is in stock and catalogued, its easy for you to "mix & match" - alot of customers love that they can pick one mannequin, add a different head or pose characteristic from our other mannequin ranges.

And, if your budget allows - go chrome - in colours as diverse as silver, gold, blue and red!
