This may not be retail, but was initially presented as such. The wall offers a distinctive modern look, with built-in display versatility. Natural wood support pegs contrast with a modern soft-white plastic backdrop. CLICK the thumbnail for an overall look. Then follow the links below to more Plug-in fixture ideas.

Watch Box Hangs, Lays or Stands

Posted by Tony Kadysewski in Hooks: Scanning, Shelf Edge Fixtures and tagged with Jewelry, Self Merchandising June 19, 2013

A most excellent piece of package design. This watch box lays flat on a shelf, stands to face forward, or via this fold-out, grometted tag, hangs from a hook. The photography does not do this box justice at all.

Flashing In-Aisle Caution Light

Posted by Tony Kadysewski in Uncategorized and tagged with Regulating Retail June 18, 2013

Wet retail floors are a real threat. This caution warning is equipped with a blinking hazard light to command more attention and avert slips and falls. Most in store warnings are folding or collapsable so that they can be scattered about the store for quick use.

Anti-Theft Mirror or Wall Art?

Posted by Tony Kadysewski in Anti-Theft / Security, Label and Sign Holders and tagged with Apparel, General, Mirrors June 17, 2013

There would seem to be no privacy whatsoever in this store. Parabolic mirrors cover some walls letting one peek around corners with ease.

Thwart Locking Loop Hooks

Posted by Tony Kadysewski in Anti-Theft / Security and tagged with Anti-Theft Turnoffs June 17, 2013

These Locking Loop Hooks drew me from afar. The oversize keyholes spoke loudly, though the hollow plastic construction lessened the feeling of security, even though they might be damn durable. Double Locking with a security device on each Loop Hook also tried to mitigate any sense that security was not serious, even to the extent that getting the item into customer hands to complete the sale would be difficult. But in the final analysis couldn’t the Hooks just be easily lifted off the Bar and product removed from the rear? This would not so easily be the case in a crowded Pegboard mount, only on a bar such as this. And many Hook Lock schemes offer devices to anchor Hooks to the board as accessories.

Coca-Cola Vintage Advertising

Posted by Tony Kadysewski in Label and Sign Holders and tagged with Sales Psychology June 16, 2013

If only I could write ad copy this civilized and effective. Every possible benefit and target market is covered in only 50 words, with key terms emphasized by typographic treatment. If this doesn’t push one of your psychological hot buttons, nothing will. Of course you must make allowances for the English usage of the period. And in case you did not know, Wheelmen were early bicyclists who fought for paved roads before commonplace automobiles were a twinkle in Henry Ford’s eye. I first thought this a large broadside or in-store advertising poster, but fine print says “Cut This Out at Dotted Lines.” All the more a wonder that this might have originally been the size of a business card or even postage stamp. Every promise on this promotion was probably true back in the early days when original formulations of Coca-Cola actually contained drug-like ingredients. No weary or despondent users of this product, no sir!

Clothes Hangers Dominate EndCap

Posted by Tony Kadysewski in Shelf Edge Fixtures and tagged with Clothes Hangers June 16, 2013

Clothes hanger merchandising is an extensively populated thread here on FixturesCloseUp. I suspect that they either fall from the sky free offering a commensurate high profit upon sale, or they are also edible and consumed each night during prime time television. These bundled sets of hangers make a good statement for themselves in orange packaging to contrast with primary color hangers … no added fixtures required. Maybe pending housecleaning is the driving factor behind this display? Click through the gallery of views for more.

Flat Backbar for Clothes Hangers

Posted by Tony Kadysewski in Bar Systems and tagged with Housewares June 16, 2013

An unusual use of a heavy-duty Flat Backbar, to merchandise light clothes hangers. The web of this bar is tall enough to support a far greater load than demanded of it here, so possibly this bar is repurposed from other uses. It also seems too large for any style Saddle Mount or Spring Clip Bar Hook. CLICK the thumbnail.

Wire Cage Includes Chalk Callout

Posted by Tony Kadysewski in Shelf Edge Fixtures and tagged with Chalk and Hand-Lettered, Shoe Merchandising, Wire Baskets June 15, 2013

Images Courtesy of Retail Design Blog, BoxFresh and Design4Retail, London

Are these inverted wire baskets or truly wire cages for display? The former would be the more efficient fixture, allowing this alternate creative use. Note that as wire basket, how truly square the creations are. Chalk callouts hawk the individual wares. Though creative, I think without callout the merchandise would appear distance and visually remote from the shopper. So good call on the callouts. CLICK the thumbnail for an alternate look.

Under Armour Concave Display

Posted by Tony Kadysewski in Shelf Edge Fixtures and tagged with Curved Display, Logo Branded Fixtures June 15, 2013

A dual display island concave on this side convex on the other. Profiled individually like this allowed a closer look and better inspection of the concept. But what would look good as an endproduct design would be multiple units creating an enclosure, or alternating units creating a serpentine wall. See that Under Armour signs its display work with a logo upper right. Step through the gallery of Under Armour fixture views here, then move on to see the other side.

Under Armour Convex Display

Posted by Tony Kadysewski in Shelf Edge Fixtures and tagged with Curved Display, Logo Branded Fixtures June 15, 2013

The back, or could it be front, of a display that faces two directions. This wider Convex side provides space for tag line or positioning statement. Arrange multiple units to curve all one way, or alternate for a wavy wall of product. Under Armour branded its display work with a logo at top right, and tag line at the base. CLICK the thumbnail for a closer look here, then follow the link to an alternate Under Armour approach.

Bank Safe as Storefront

Posted by Tony Kadysewski in Label and Sign Holders and tagged with Store Entrance Branding, Street art June 14, 2013

Image Courtesy of CultureJunkie, UK

How I wish this Locksmith’s storefront was an actual safe door. But it fools the eye almost completely upon first glance as is. Plus I’m not sure how you could transport a true multi-ton safe door from a merged or abandoned financial institution at reasonable cost anyway. If you were to brand your storefront with a single piece of realistic art like this, what would the image be? Browse other offerings at CultureJunkie, then return to research store entries here on FixturesCloseUp.

Burt’s Bees EndCap Gravity Feed

Posted by Tony Kadysewski in Shelf Management Systems and tagged with Gravity-Feed June 14, 2013

Since Burt’s Bees acquisition by Clorox their fixturing, displays and promotions seem more prolific than ever. Here is EndCap Gravity Feed of mostly Burt with branded swing-away signage to boot. Interestingly most lanes of the Gravity Feed are labeled as Beeswax formulation … but some also captioned Honey, Replenishing, Nourishing, Rejuvenating, Refreshing and Ultra Conditioning. Is this just smart merchandising and product positioning, or can the Bees actually change the formulation directly just for Burt? CLICK the gallery for successive views

Jewelry Sale for Baseballers

Posted by Tony Kadysewski in Label and Sign Holders and tagged with Jewelry, Sales Psychology June 13, 2013

Possibly the intent here was to draw the eye of a Baseball fan, then hint that his “significant other” might appreciate a little attention too in the form of a jewelry gift. After all, wasn’t she a “catch?” The Baseball propping is dyed a vibrant green to make it all the more dramatic. Other than propping, fixturing are simple acrylic blocks for positioning. Does this small display case selling proposition hit a home run for you? Do you agree with the Sales Psychology of the visual? CLICK the gallery of various small display case views.
