What Are the Different Types of Mannequins?

Posted On: August 19, 2022 By: blueprint_admin

Mannequins are the perfect way to show off the products you have on sale in a way that catches the eye of potential customers. They can visualise how the clothes will look on them and how they can match them with other products to create killer looks. But you need to choose the type of mannequin that suits your shop. There are multiple different types of mannequins and this guide is here to help you decide which will work best for your particular situation. As the UK’s biggest mannequin supplier, we know a thing or two about this subject!

Sports Mannequins
Just as there are many different sports, there are also mannequins to represent those pastimes and to help you sell the equipment and clothing connected to them. From the most popular of sports to the far more niche, you will be able to dress up your shop dummies accordingly so that your customers will be able to envisage themselves using your goods to enhance their enjoyment of their favourite activities.

Running and sprinting mannequins are perfect for showing off all the available accompaniments to today’s modern runner. From the latest trainers to smart watches, athletic shorts and vests to headphones and more. They are posed in such a way that they instantly show the dynamic look that runners are looking to achieve when they hit the streets.

You can also find tennis playing mannequins, climbers and even gymnastics-related dummies that hang down from the ceiling and create a stunning visual for your customers.

Economy Mannequins
We understand that there are a lot of expenses when you are setting up a shop, so we have a range of economy mannequins so that you do not have to skimp on your displays. These perfect mannequins help create amazing displays for your shopfloor, without breaking the bank.

They come in a range of finishes so that you can match the mannequin to your shop theme, with some clear models, others in matt white and you can even find some flesh coloured mannequins too.

Premium Mannequins
When you move onto our premium mannequins, you find yourself with more variety to play with. These are the dummies that help you keep on track with trends in visual merchandising and make you stand out from the crowd on the high street.

As part of our range of premium mannequins are the gender neutral mannequins. When we created this iconic model, it was a world first. So many brands have taken away gender labels from their clothing lines, understanding that people do not want to be constrained by what were traditionally only men’s or women’s garments. However, mannequins continued to be gendered and did not do a great job of representing a large number of people who might be interested in a product. With a gender neutral mannequin, it is easier to see yourself wearing an item that might once have been marketed to a group other than that with which you identify.

Other premium mannequins include pregnancy and plus-size mannequins, poseable dummies and those aimed at the youth market specifically.

Children’s Mannequins
Within our children’s mannequin range, we have a number of options. From economy models to get you started in business to life-like models, flexible dummies and many more to choose from. Creating displays that appeal to both child and parent whilst out shopping is a difficult ask, but with our choice of children’s mannequins, you will find something that will help you create an ideal display on your shopfloor.

Animals and Nature
And we certainly shouldn’t forget our faithful friends when we discuss the mannequins that we have on sale. If you sell pet goods, or if you want to add a little bit of something different into the mix of your regular displays, why not add your favourite animal?

We have many different types of dog mannequin, from French bulldogs to short-haired pointers. They come in a range of poses and help you create stunning visuals that attract customers in from the street as they pass your shop.

Alternatively, you can pick up dummies in the guise of penguins, monkeys, lions and many other animals too!
