J.B. Merchandise Design Inc.

Design and Merchandising
For each customer, it is our commitment to design and implement a consumer friendly facility that is market sensitive in offering appropriate product assortment and service.

We strive to maximize our customer’s return on investment by developing effective displays and communication systems which maximize product sales, and by ensuring that all assets of the project team are fully utilized. Our project plan will include a project schedule and budget guideline for the physical stage of the project.

Millwork Operations
We own and operate a 16,000 square foot shop in Penetanguishene, Ontario with a staff of experienced carpenters and cabinet makers. This facility produces various “How To”, specialty and institutional displays.

All displays are custom designed and installed for the space available, the dealer’s preference and the number of vendors included in the display.

Detail Service
We provide after-market maintenance to a wide variety of vendors and retailers.

Depending on the customer, this service may include a weekly store visit to maintain and control inventory, or a quarterly visit and report on general facility appearance and maintenance.
