Katherine Necktie Ruff in Pink Schoolyard by Lilian Asterfield

Necktie Ruff AuxIf neckties sales aren’t what they should be, consider broadening the market with Necktie Ruffs for women. Display can be flat as shown or adorning a mannequin or dress form. You might even sell matched sets of men’s neckties with women’s neck ruffs. Of course that might just knock the bottom out of the women’s scarf market, so merchandise with care. This concept the work of Lilian Asterfield from The Original Upcycled Necktie Collection. In case you wonder, a dress snap is provided at the knot for easy closure and wear. No knot tying skills necessary. CLICK the thumbnail for an alternate or see more at Etsy.

Bow Tie Hooks Are a Hot Topic

Posted by Tony Kadysewski in Hooks: Display and tagged with ,

Bow Tie Hooks a Hot Topic Main

I have seen an increase in the merchandising of Bow Ties over the past years. Are these examples from Hot Topic leading the charge or evidence the fashion trend has peaked and invaded every nook and cranny of retail. I am not smart enough to say. But I do recognize dual use of Flatback 90º Display Hooks on both Slatwall and Slatwire as a merchandising approach. CLICK through the gallery of images below to consider the range of Bow Tie designs relative to your own offerings.

Thwart Locking Loop Hooks

Posted by Tony Kadysewski in Anti-Theft / Security and tagged with

Twin Loop Hooks Locked Aux

Twin Loop Hooks Locked MainThese 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

Coca-Cola Vintage Ad Copy

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 Dominate EndCap Main

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

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

Wire Cage and Chalkboard AuxAre 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. See the original store design use at Retail Design Blog then return for more Wire Basket concepts here on FixturesCloseUo.

Under Armour Concave Display

Posted by Tony Kadysewski in Shelf Edge Fixtures and tagged with ,

Under Armour Concave Display Main

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

Under Armour Convex Display Main

Under Armour Convex Display Detail AuxThe 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.
