Talk about excellence in fit-and-finish. This pimped-out S-hook features impeccable chrome plating and ball-end finials as the final point-of-purchase finishing touch. Ball-end tips are common on Display and Scan Hooks for added safety over Straight-cut Wire Hooks. But there is little hazard in an S-hook, so this is all finishing to upgrade the final fixture…
It must have been a bicycle Flash Mob that drove this store to create a quick handmade sign banning bikes in-store. I don’t think I have ever seen a retailer so afflicted with two-wheelers, except maybe my old mountain bike shop. CLICK the thumbnail for an outside entry overview, including cute little girl hiding from…
If you need more capacity than an ordinary S-hook, maybe this conjoined, hump-back hook is the solution. With this S-hook … in this case meaning Siamese Hook … you can separately face Strip Merchandisers up and down the aisle. It still works with only one Strip Merchandiser, even if hump-backed it looks a bit odd.…
This is either an attempt to please extremely finicky customers or portion control in the extreme. I prefer to think it represents a Bakery Department completely committed to customer satisfaction in all aspects. I know from experience they’ll custom bake a few loaves for Margarit on 20 minutes notice. Now that’s what you call having…
Wicker is made of woven plant material. But if these trays are actual twigs is this Twicker? The display adds to the Wicker thread of FixturesCloseUp by virtue of the natural material. But I was more intrigued by the Produce Stand pull-out drawers, and the ability to place Twicker or other displays there. CLICK the…
This is amazingly creative point-of-purchase fixturing for funnels. Positioned directly with automobile oil, an oft forgotten or overlooked aspect of getting oil in the engine filler hole is put front and center. Even though most engine oil packages are designed to facilitate a neat pour, many cramped engine compartments still demand a funnel. Curiously there…
Single-lane marketing by Slim Jim drew interesting response in earlier retail fixture forums, both positive and negative. But here what is good enough for Slim Jim is good enough for Sasquatch too. And the products slug it out as longer “Big Stick” goes up against “Twin Pack,” but with Sasquatch supported by a television ad…
Followers of FixturesCloseUp know my dislike of pure “Out of Stock” messages. I believe in cross selling to an existing item. A “raincheck” is a good start on pleasing rather than disappointing a customer. But this requires they return to get their item. How about a discount on a similar item of their choice? For…
Unless I just fail to notice, I do not see country of origin consistently across produce displays. If it is consistent, maybe it is just not prominent. A good reason for FixturesCloseUp to record those locations where origin is thought important and communicated. Like here via tag in the Shelf Edge Label Strip. CLICK the…
