Shopping centres, high street stores and independent retailers are increasingly turning to movement to bring their displays to life. Movetech UK’s turntables and movement solutions are helping brands of all sizes capture attention, create memorable experiences and showcase products in a more dynamic way.
From rotating window features to eye-catching point of sale displays, movement has become a powerful tool in modern retail design. Customers are naturally drawn to objects in motion, and even subtle movement can transform a static display into something engaging and interactive.
Matt Horrocks, Marketing Co-Ordinator at Movetech UK, explained why movement is so effective in a busy retail environment.
“Retailers are competing for attention more than ever. Movement instantly makes people look twice. It creates curiosity and encourages shoppers to pause, engage with a product and spend longer in store. That extra few seconds can make all the difference.”
Movetech UK works with shopfitters, designers and visual merchandisers across the country, providing turntables and movement systems for a wide range of applications. The units deliver strong visual impact and are highly efficient, typically using less power than a 20-watt light bulb.
“Adding movement does not have to be complicated or expensive,” Matt continued. “A simple rotating display can elevate the way a product is presented, making it feel premium and desirable. Whether it is fashion, electronics, homeware or automotive, movement helps tell a stronger visual story.”
The impact of movement can already be seen across the high street. Major retailers such as JD Sports use movement solutions to spotlight key products and attract shoppers into store, while Primark has incorporated rotating mannequins and animated window displays to add energy and theatre to its shopfronts. These are just a couple of recent examples of how even subtle movements can transform an ordinary display into a memorable feature.
Movetech UK offers an extensive range of products to suit different environments. Ceiling-mounted revolves are particularly popular where floor space is limited, while freestanding turntables are ideal for window displays and in-store features. The range also includes oscillating, pendulum and up-and-down movements designed specifically for point of sale and promotional displays, with features such as variable speed, static centres and timed hesitation to suit each installation.
With retailers continually searching for new ways to stand out, movement offers a simple yet highly effective solution. By introducing motion into displays, businesses can attract more attention, strengthen their brand presence and ultimately boost sales.
