90º Strip Hooks Back-to-Back

Posted by Tony Kadysewski in Hooks: Scanning, Hooks: Specialty and tagged with , , ,

Back Labeled Flatback Strip Merch Hooks Main

A bit odd looking in application, this plastic merchandising strip features back-to-back 90º Tip Back-Labeled Flatback Display Hooks. The standard Pegboard Backplate causes the Frontwire to cant downward because the Strip wall is thin. But the 90º Tip saves the day and keeps the merchandise in place. A solution that uses standard components, but my OCD would demand a Backplate toleranced for the thinner plastic and level Frontwire presentation. But then, I am certifiably odd. Admittedly the extra precision would not be worth the extra cost. CLICK through the gallery to see at various focuses.

Product Differentiation Study

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

Packaging Differentiates Similar Items Main

My initial interest was the fixturing and hanging of the asymmetrical lower package. But there is more going on here than meets the initial eye. Both sets are “Value Packs” with tools color coded similarly. The top offering Full Size Tools, the bottom Mini Tools with Travel Bag. The symmetrical arrangement of the Full Size Tools is designed to contrast all the more with the asymmetry of the Mini’s. But there is just no pleasing me. After all the effort that went into a great package design, precise balancing of packaging, and even constant color coding of tools, it is the price differentiation that I see most. Would you pay $1 more for smaller tools and a cloth bag? CLICK through the gallery of images to consider your purchase carefully from all angles. Pegboard Fixtures are All Wire Flip Front Scanning Hooks.

Donut Merchandising by Scan Hook AuxNormally you might not display donut shapes via hook, but in this case it is a good choice styrofoam wreath forms.

Plegboard Bar Flush-Mounts Main

We have certainly all seen Pegboard-mount Bars Merchandisers and Space Frames. But this is the first I have seen that flush mounts to the Pegboard itself. With minimal clearance it certainly completes the topmost level of the cascading bar tiers, which at lower levels are part Bar Merchandiser part Space Frame themselves.

Loop Hooks on a Curved Surface

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

All Wire Scanning Loop Hook on Curve Main

As an engineer we called it “slop.” As a advertising man I can more attractively call it “forgivingly tolerances.” As non-precision constructs all hooks have some “play” in mating to the display surface. Exaggerate that “loose fit” by using 1/4″ pegboard hooks on a thin-wall perforated metal surface and you can get the hooks to round a curve. Its not magic, just creative use of inexpensive standard components like these All Wire Scanning Loop Hooks. CLICK through the gallery of photos for other virus.

44 Uncommon Plastic Hooks

I am very surprised that Scan Hook Label Holders are not used for merchandise logos and branding more often. Here a brand puts a Brash foot forward. The logo echos from the hook front onto the carded merchandise for additional impact. With costumer jewelry and fashion items at this level, price is not really as important consideration in the sale. Appeal and a cool brand are. CLICK through the gallery of various views

Right-Triangle Hook by O-Cedar

Triangle Braced Mop Hook Main

Mop and Boom Hooks (often classified as Double Arm Utility Hooks) come in a multitude of shapes and forms. This right triangle however is new Pegboard Hook geometry. With a long Hypotenuse lower brace, wire gauge and cost can be reduced. Hook-front stops and sidesaddle Label Holder Mount complete the deal. Bottom restraining hooks of a more conventional, yet nevertheless gated design, keep the item display orderly. CLICK through the gallery of photos below for all aspects.

Promo Flags and Tags Combined

Posted by Tony Kadysewski in Hooks: Scanning, Label and Sign Holders and tagged with ,

Promo Adhesive Flags and Tags Main

Promo Flags and Tags Shelf Edge CloseupSeveral major chains have silhouetted Flag Systems in place that allow a label element to project into the aisle for better visibility and promotion. Other retailers use Bib or Promo Tags, that adhere or clip to the normal label area, face forward, but provided oversize area for added emphasis. Here is both systems combined. You get a stick-on Bib-Tag facing forward with an integral die-cut flag that folds to perpendicular. The advantage overall is both systems, without the need for extra fixtures to execute. But don’t imaging these are as cheap as Plain Paper Labels or Clip-on Systems with built in Promo Clips. This approach still requires extra cost self-adhesive stock and flag die-cut. What system works best will vary by your individual need.  CLICK thumbnail for a closeup view.

Pegboard Accidents Happen

Pegboard Tear Out Failure

It does not happen often, but it can. Best to plan ahead and employ fixtures in which the Pegboard or Slatwall backing can be easily replaced. In Gondola, a new panel can usually be slide right in.

Inventory Control for Loop Hooks

Posted by Tony Kadysewski in Hooks: Scanning, Hooks: Specialty and tagged with , , ,

Loop Hook ICC Inventory Control Clip Main

Loop Hook ICC Inventory Control Clip DetailOnce you see the idea it becomes obvious. And I guess if I had the need I could have been the innovator too. But I’m not. So my hat goes off to the creative store staff who took Inventory Control Clips for Single Prong Display and Scan Hooks, and used on them on Safety Loop Scan Hooks. First time I have seen this. Laugh if you might now, but some day this staffer will own the company. CLICK thumbnail for an alternate angle.

D-Ring Shoelace Hanger

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

One way to add value and brand a commodity product; these ordinary shoelaces are made less ordinary by merchandising via D-ring hangers. Successful or not I cannot say. But creative and a step above the competition it is. Store fixturing is via Two-piece Straight Entry Scan Hooks for Slatwire and 1″ Grid that permit tighter placement of hooks in difficult small item planograms like this.

Wire Ladder-Mount Broom Hook

Posted by Tony Kadysewski in Hooks: Scanning, Hooks: Specialty and tagged with , , , ,

A Ladder-mount, Pegboard-based superstructure provides the attachment surface for this Double Arm Utility Broom Hook, Oversize Grid-Hook-like grapples grip the ladder struts. Finishing touches include forward Ball Stops for product retension, and oversize Metal Plate Label Holders (unseen in main photo). A very intricate design. Overall the fixturing is a bit busy for my tastes. But the argument could be made that for necessities like this, customers will root through offerings to find their item, and maybe select other merchandise too. CLICK thumbnail for an overview and a glimpse of the oversize Metal Plate Label Holders.
