Sign Arm Is Light Gauge

An opportunity arose to further analyze this style small-scale, light-weight Sign Holder Hook for Pegboard. Note that the thin gauge frontwire is half the diameter of nearby standard Pegboard Hooks. The single card-stock sign is anything but a heavy load. The root of the concept, an Attached Back Hook, arrives already assembled for quick installation, yet comes apart for straight entry in tight spaces. A simple Sign Grip Clip front serves to grasp the sign.

Pink Plastic Pegboard

Pink Plastic Pegboard Main

Pink Pegboard as an unusual merchandising background, combined with a complementary header sign and can’t-be-beat price makes sure bling gets noticed in a well-designed Dollar Store environment. Click through the thumbnails to inspect more closely. There was some minor cracking of the plastic pegboard, but given the target market and abuse it must receive, it held up well.

Fencing Bow Expands Shelf Edge

This Fencing angles or bows outward a bit from the shelf edge. It might be to provide extra space when employed in dump bin arrangements. Or possibly it allows a bit more ease of access to whatever products were to be corralled. This outboard positioning requires a different approach to mounts. It might also require a specialty divider to mate with the angled front Fence. In any event it maintains the clean appearance of a good fencing solution.

Point-of-Purchase Home Run

Color-Coded Prices at Shelf-Edge

A different color is used to reinforce the whole dollar amount of prices along the shelf edge. White numbers are used consistently for all decimal portions of the price. An interesting convention and attempt at shelf-edge coding, price recognition, and branding. But to me the 99’s shout while some colors are recessive. I would have color coded the entire amount consistently so that $3.99 was all blue, $2.99 all lime green, and $1.99 all red. CLICK the thumbnail for another look. Nominate your own color scheme if you have one.

Productstop Fails Xmas Crush

Not a rigid acrylic, this flexible extruded shelf edge productstop bows under a relatively light load of Christmas Cards on sale. The solution, as always, test fixture samples in store. And consider all aspects of the intended use. This failure seems more due to the shelf attachment system than the extrusion.

Best Typefaces for Retail and POP

Trust me to get it all backwards. From an article on the worst fonts I managed to scavenge lists of the best and most used typefaces. Many are among my personal favorites too, and are as good a starting place as any for that retail sign, shelf edge label, or point-of-purchase promotion you have in mind. I tried searching for “favorite typefaces of David Ogilvy” without success, so you are stuck with this.

Know that there is some difference of opinion on “best” typefaces even though those above are favorites of many designers according to a limited survey. It is sometimes argued that serif rather than sans serif typefaces are several times more readable, hence their use in traditional media like newspaper. Others argue that all caps is more visible than upper and lower case, hence the use of capital letters in teleprompters (autocue) for television broadcast.

As an interesting aside, the Univers typeface (number 5 under used regularly above) was the favorite font of my grad school chairman, Dr. Francis Ferguson, AIA (1932-1995, Notre Dame University 1956, Columbia University 1962, 1969). It seems the “student apple” does not fall far from the “teacher’s tree.” A great many of these fonts, particularly Helvetica, are very Univers-like (or actually I think it more correct that Univers is Helvetica-like). And almost all have stood the test of time in advertising and graphic communications.

Personally, I prefer Helvetica for body copy over Univers, but would be agreeable to using Univers in a heading. As you see, my old professor and patron and I did not completely agree all the time. But I am known to be contentious and picky, with a mind of my own.

If you have reputable sources you can cite for “best” or “most visible” typefaces, post here as comments please.

Type Size for Sign Readability

Courtesy of ScienceBuddies.org and David Ogilvy

Progressive Grover Linkedin.com Group comments on “Small Signs Create Master Sign” led me to research type sizes for readability at various distances in retail and advertising. I found many highly detailed research studies, with formulas and full scientific analysis, and even correlation to angle of view and speed of observer. But these simple guidelines found on Science Buddies seemed very clear and to the point … even citing the famous advertising expert David Ogilvy as the original source. If you know of better guidelines, please post so that we can all benefit. If not, David Ogilvy surely wouldn’t steer us wrong.

A follow up to “Type Size for Readability” which defines type size for small signs, these charts, courtesy of Elliot Design, recommend letter size for long distance viewing. The accessory chart on type color vs sign background color is also handy. Both are an outgrowth of Linkedin.com discussions of “Small Signs Create Master Sign.” CLICK thumbnail for a larger view. Quoting the source “The colors from top to bottom show the descending contrasts of colors in combination to each other. The top 6 rows are the better choices of colors for good contrast, the next three rows show less contrast and the last two rows would be very poor choices for readability.”

Wire Fencing Sets a Party Theme

This aisle of fixturing makes a good merchandising impression for these paper goods.  The fencing succeeds in keeping product on the shelf while maintaining visibility and carrying a visual theme across the entire department. Note that a higher fence is used on the second shelf, but low fencing is used on all others. The reason for this was not immediately apparent in that retail product size and mix was the same on each shelf. *****

St. Patrick’s Day Store Labels

This store went to the trouble of creating green labels for the St. Patrick’s Day aisle.  Throughout the balance of the store labeling was yellow. Maybe the proprietor is from the Emerald Isle, or wish they were. Who said Dollar Stores didn’t make an effort to merchandise or support store image?

Gondola-upright Micro Quiver

Only an inch or two across the opening diameter, this micro quiver hung naked off a gondola upright. The mount arms are not inserted correctly but it allowed a view of their configuration.

Extended Multi-Facing Backtag

This three-facing Backtag outfitted all sides of a Tower or Spinner Display Rack. I suspect it is provided by the product manufacturer along with the display to reinforce the planogram and simplify restocking. I suggest that the slight additional size and material cost is well worth the efficiencies, reduced labor and well-ordered appearance the Tag produces on the selling floor.

Mirror Image Gift Wrap Rack

Constructed from both left- and right-facing mirror images, this gift wrap rack offers the benefit of being adjustable to any roll width. Having only two sections speeds installation and reduces labor. But the finished unit seems flimsy and easily knocked out of plumb. It somehow looked very busy visually, but might appear less so when fully stocked. Though two near-identical halves this rack could have been created from a single side unit designed to be reversed to create its own mate.

Fencing Overstuffed Goods

These fluffy softwoods look great squeezed just ever so slightly into Fencing to give an overstuffed appearance at shelf edge. The high Fencing is necessary in this case. But closely evaluate mounting systems. Some of this type just drop into shelf perforation holes and not formally mount. Without overstuffed product to support, they can wobble and may look loose and limp rather than plump and perky as here.
