Merchandising Guidelines

3. Tall Pallet Racks are used to create walls
to divide the Promotional/Seasonal area
into smaller departments.
Pallet Racks are used to keep the
presentation of merchandise simple. All
products should be neatly stacked on
the shelves, tables, or platforms.
Different fixure types and heights adds
visual variety to the areas and makes
shopping more exploratory.
The red header acts as a valance to
frame and unify the department.
Graphic Banner Caps are used on top of the
pallet racks. This presents a branded mes-
sage that can be seen from the upper levels.
This cap also keeps the top of the fixtures
clear of product and ensures a tidy and
organized appearance.
The Promotional/Seasonal area is a large and very impor-
tant department in the Tvoy Dom stores. This department
uses distinct fixtures and a separate signing package to
make it easily recognizable to shoppers.
