For homeowners and small shop organizers, pegboard is perfect for storing tools and appliances in a garage or work space. But pegboard is also valuable in a retail environment; if you look closely at retail displays, a lot of "window sets" and off-the-rack shelving relies on pegboard and specialty hooks to hold products for display to consumers.
Business owners use pegboards to:
1. Store inventory.
2. Make temporary or permanent homes on a sale floor for specific products.
3. Create versatile display spaces near eye level for high-selling products.

Tips & Tactics
Helpful advice for making the most of this Guide
- Do a quick space check before ordering. When you're standing in your empty retail space, you might think you have all the room in the world, but that isn't necessarily so. Try placing dummy shelves and walk between them to make sure your customers will have adequate space when your retail displays are installed.
