MISSION STATEMENT AND
GOAL OF FIXTURES CLOSE UP POSTS
This site is Long Tail Content Marketing comprised of 28,620 Posts and 1,391 Pages, 1,100+ categories, and a 105,707+ image pictorial inventory of unique or otherwise interesting small-scale fixtures, displays, Guerrilla Marketing, and visual merchandising strategies seen across the entire range of retailing (WordPress, Jan 1, 2026). Just as a cityscape is built up of individual bricks, beams, and boards, so a store is constructed of small-scale outfitting and merchandising that combines to help create the selling-floor environment. Many of these small elements are unsung heroes in creating an effective, functional, appealing space for merchandising goods. Because of the wide-ranging creativity of designers, similar display problems are often solved in unique ways. This site attempts to document these varying solutions … and provide a source of ideas and inspiration for additional new solutions or new applications of existing fixtures. FixturesCloseUp targets a “purer” fixture readership than that of old-guard publications like Design:Retail, VMSD Visual Merchandising and Store Design, Shop! Retail Environments, and Path To Purchase bypassing “waste circulation” to retail finance, site selection, architectural design, operations, logistics, flooring, lighting, HVAC, and other non-fixture focuses. SIC Code 25,254, NAICS Code 33,337
