This display features a 3-facing label holder strip on the left vs. a single short label holder marking one facing at right. In some respects the lack of gap between facings makes the overall display less jumbled and visually busy. The gap between the strip and single facing holder does not add much useful visibility … Keep reading
I am a proponent of the use of color for branding, departmentalization, navigation, and store image. But this multi-color retail application, though festive, goes too far for my tastes. My eyes are drawn more to the colored strips than the million dollar package designs they front. Don’t dismiss shelf edge label strip color on the basis … Keep reading
My guess is a hard-pressed retailer is attempting to make good use of an earlier but now stock-depleated display. In my father’s day as an independent grocer, he would acquire display fixtures as part of a brand promotion, and repurpose them later. In this case removing the branded color shelf edge label strip might avoid … Keep reading
A breakthrough concept for customer comfort. This Fresnel Flat Magnifier is hung up and down the aisles in newly opened Walgreens for the benefit of more than the elderly. As type size approaches microscopic on boxes, medical pamphlets and my Smartphone screen, this is a boon to customers. Way to go Walgreen’s. On a separate subject, … Keep reading
This post expands upon the existing thread of color-coded signage. Here attention is drawn to the price and level of savings by sticker color. Obviously it is a coding system under development as portrayed choices are limited. For color-coding SEE… “Color-Coded Sports Retailing” “Color-Coding Diopter Strength“ “Near-sighted not Color Blind” “Foster Grants Color-Coded“ “Color-Coding Without … Keep reading
Lack of UV-stabilizers results in yellow, brittle label strip. Here one has been badly shattered in normal use. Make sure your specifications are for quality label holders that include UV protection to extend use and lower the total life cycle cost of your fixturing … not to mention improve the look of the selling floor. … Keep reading
Extruded label strips without UV stabilizers are prone to age and yellow quickly. Here a normally clear strip is as deep in yellow color as the snack packages it is meant to introduce. Aged or dirty fixtures detract from the selling environment. Would you buy food from a seemingly filthy, uncared for, sorry-looking store? Maybe … Keep reading
This graceful pedestal seems to hover just forward of the display offering trial samples to all comers. Better yet, it calls out to and attracts the comers themselves. Contemporary design, quality materials and generous dimensions and rounding add to effective brand enhancement. But product price labels seem an afterthought detracting from the packages, and extending above … Keep reading
Here a sign mount displays a legend explaining pricing by color-coded header card. A useful eye-candy concept to reinforce pricing comprehension, and even speed price changes. The holder was durable all-metal construction, but the sign grip was not well toleranced or tight and rubber cement was used by store staff to augment the holding power. With … Keep reading
Scan codes face up while product branding and promotions face forward on this right-angle profile, hook-mounted label strip. Major manufacturers offer 100′s of different label holder profiles including stock hook-mounted continuous strip. Don’t settle for less than you need. Make sure you browse the entire market and all supplier offerings. The perfect solution may already exist … Keep reading
Labels and Back Tags with product images are, if not yet common, not unknown. Here a label carries the fabric pattern of the lingerie it relates to and becomes part Front Tag in use. When the offering is dozens of styles of colorful panties, imaging the fabric pattern rather than the silhouette or outline of … Keep reading
The extremely gradual curve of this slotwall allows use of standard FISH-Tip Flatback Slatwall Hooks, which acting as a stand-off, transfer the curve to the extruded label holder strips. The effect is far more intriguing when seen in three dimensions than in a flat photo image. It is also interesting that the black powdercoat contrasting hooks … Keep reading
Here’s a totally modern concept for the era of direct digital printing. Continuous C-channel label strip that includes images of the products on display. The strip guarantees “price integrity” (product and price line up), that restocking matches the planogram, plus adds another level of branding for the items vended. This is the first implementation of … Keep reading
This oversize shelf edge strip functions dually as a label/sign holder and product stop because of its mounting height. The generous size was a pleasant experience which could have been capitalized on better if labels were not identical for each facing. A slide-in profile facilitated set up. But a thumb-screw C-clamp mounted to glass shelves … Keep reading
Sophisticated shelf-edge label systems are available with mother and daughter strips accommodating both promotional and price labels. But this bullnose attached to the shelf surface not edge, added no label holder functions, and left the existing C-channel free. Sophisticated shelf management systems can feature bullnose frontrails as product stops, but this installation has no dividers … Keep reading
