Consolidated and coordinated gift wrap display

Abstract

A consolidated and coordinated gift wrap and packaging display holds and presents articles for decorative gift wrapping in a spectral and thematic arrangement. The consolidated display includes a plurality of modules, each module displaying a plurality of gift wrap items which are coordinated in color, theme or both, so that the modules are visually distinct among the consolidated display. Each module may contain rolled gift wrap, folded gift wrap, small and large gift bags, ribbon on rolls or in strands, gift cards, novelties or gift wrap accessories. The visual distinction of each module within the display draws consumers to the desired type of gift wrap presentation, and the dense arrangement of coordinated and complimentary gift wrap items encourages selection and purchase of a complete gift wrap ensemble.

Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION [0001] The present invention pertains generally to retail displays and, more particularly, to complex retail displays for displaying multiple kinds and sizes of products in a coordinated fashion. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0002] In the retail display of gift wrapping products such as paper, ribbons and bows, it is difficult to present to consumers the wide variety of products available. For gift wrap, some categorization is helpful, yet the physical form of the display should hold the products so that they are readily visible and accessible in order to promote sales. Given the density with which such products can be packaged, it is especially challenging to adequately display a wide variety of colors, textures and themes. This has a large negative effect on total sales and on sell-through of individual gift wrap items, particularly those which are essentially concealed or otherwise obscured on a crowded or poorly arranged display.

Benefits of technology

[0004] The present invention provides a consolidated and coordinated gift wrap display in which complete groupings of gift wrap products are presented in color coordinated, spectral or thematic arrays. The display as a whole is made up of two or more modules, with each module having common display elements such as relative positioning and arrangement of different types of gift wrap products. Each novel display module contains gift wrap products which are coordinated in some respect, whether by color, theme or other design attribute. The individual modules therefore have common features with respect to the relative positioning of different gift wrap products, so that the display as a whole has uniformity in that regard. And the modules are each unique with respect to at least one design attribute of the coordinated collection of gift wrap products. Each individual module has a novel arrangement of gift wrap products. These and other aspects and features of the invention are further described herein. Adjacent or combined modules of a consolidated display may or may not have the same type and arrangement of gift wrap products.

Problems solved by technology

In the retail display of gift wrapping products such as paper, ribbons and bows, it is difficult to present to consumers the wide variety of products available.

Given the density with which such products can be packaged, it is especially challenging to adequately display a wide variety of colors, textures and themes.

This has a large negative effect on total sales and on sell-through of individual gift wrap items, particularly those which are essentially concealed or otherwise obscured on a crowded or poorly arranged display.

This has a negative effect on the sale of these items, and there has been no successful approach to present to the consumer an assortment of different types of gift wrap products from which a complete and coordinated gift wrap ensemble can be selected for purchase.
