In-Store Setup Guides: What to Include with Every Order

Understanding International Shipping Costs for Display Units

Ensure Flawless Installation and Brand Accuracy in Every Retail Location

By Yan Luo | Samtop Display

An in-store display setup guide ensures your POP display is installed correctly, quickly, and consistently in every retail location. From a detailed component checklist to branding placement diagrams and safety tips, this guide shows you how to create installation instructions that work in any store and any market.

No matter how beautifully a display is built, execution breaks if store teams don’t know how to assemble it.

Wrong logo placement, damaged acrylic, missing parts — all caused by unclear or missing installation instructions.

Deliver a crystal-clear setup guide with every display shipment — bridging the gap between factory design and in-store reality.
