It's not the stuff of slings and arrows of outrageous fortune; it's just retail...at it's best. Bookstore merchandisers can "take arms against a sea of troubles", i.e. not enough space, by using this clever trick, aptly demonstrated at South Puget Sound Community College Bookstore.
In their new space, SPSCC created a shopping vignette displaying 4 colors of tees, with folded understock. Within such a small amount of space, it would be impossible to face out all four colors. The impact of showing all four colors plus the mannequin form is a very effective use of space. The folded "understock" accomodates about a dozen of each color. Adding the insulated mugs is an added bonus!
The added detail that adds a lot to the new store is the matching of the hangers to the light maple wood featured throughout the space. PS: if you are thinking that the tees are hangin from a flourescent light bulb, they're not. It's just the glare off the shiny new metal bar!
