At one time women were thought to be the most fashion savvy of the sexes, however men have become a fierce competitor. With the ever changing fashion trends, men have proven themselves on the forefront of the fashion industry. And the best way to communicate to your customers that your store is on the front line of fashion is to effectively use a combination of both female and male mannequins.

With the correct use of a male mannequin, you can make an otherwise less than fashionable man stop in his tracks.  By grabbing his attention in a desirable way, he’ll continue into your store to check out the latest seasonal fashions. A male mannequin, dressed in the latest fashions of the day, will prove to grab your customers’ attention and keep them shopping at your store repeatedly and for more time.

A mannequin’s ability to catch the eye of a shopper has been proven time and again. Men’s clothing that is displayed on a male mannequin versus a piled display, sells faster and, sometimes, for more money. With lifelike displays, shoppers better understand how the merchandise will look on them. People tend to define how they see themselves through the clothes that they wear. And, more often than not, your average shopper is likely to gravitate towards the latest fashion trends when they are displayed on a mannequin.
