For manufacturers, the relationship with your dealers is the lifeblood of your business. But in a crowded marketplace, how do you ensure your products remain the “top of mind” choice for dealer sales reps and their customers?
The answer often lies on the showroom floor. Static, uninspired product displays are easy to overlook. However, an innovative, interactive display doesn’t just hold a product, it tells a story and simplifies the sales process.
At DAC Products, we specialize in custom displays that bridge the gap between manufacturer quality and dealer success. Here are three innovative display types that are currently boosting dealer engagement across the industry.
1. Modular Sliding Window & Door Product Displays
One of the biggest hurdles for dealers is floor space. If a manufacturer sends a bulky, immovable display, it often ends up tucked in a corner where it’s rarely seen.
Innovative manufacturers are switching to modular sliding systems. These allow dealers to showcase multiple product lines, such as different frame colors, hardware finishes, or glass packages—within a single, compact footprint.
- Why it boosts engagement: Dealers love efficiency. When you provide product displays that maximizes their square footage, they are more likely to give your brand prime real estate in the showroom.
2. Branded Interactive “Selection Stations”
Modern retail is all about the “experience.” Instead of just leaning a window unit against a wall, manufacturers are providing dealers with comprehensive selection stations. These units often combine physical product samples with custom signage and branding that guides the customer through the decision-making process.
By incorporating tactile elements, like swatches of trim, hardware samples, and cross-section cutaways, you turn a passive viewing into an active conversation.
- Why it boosts engagement: It makes the dealer’s job easier. A well-designed selection station acts as a silent salesperson, walking the homeowner through the “Good, Better, Best” options without the dealer having to hunt for brochures or hidden samples.
3. Tech-Integrated Smart Fixtures
As the industry moves toward digital integration, “smart” displays are becoming a game-changer for manufacturer-dealer loyalty. These displays often feature integrated tablet mounts or QR-code-heavy fixtures that link directly to your latest digital catalogs or configuration tools.
Imagine a customer looking at a physical door unit and being able to scan a code to see that exact door in ten different colors on a digital home visualizer.
- Why it boosts engagement: It connects the physical product to the digital tools the dealer already uses. This seamless integration shows the dealer that your brand is forward-thinking and committed to supporting their modern sales cycle.
The DAC Difference: Partnership Through Design
