Direct answer
Mahjong sets sell better when shoppers can see and touch the tiles. Good retail displays show one open set with tiles on racks, keep boxed sets nearby at hand height, group accessories as add-ons, and explain key details on a small sign: tile count, material and what is in the box. Brands can support stores with display samples, simple stands and shelf signs.
Key takeaways
- An open set sells boxed sets.
- Show tiles on racks so shoppers see the playing experience.
- Group by color story, not just by product type.
- Accessories next to sets increase basket size.
- Keep display sets complete and clean.
