This image shows one of my favourite examples of good, sound merchandising : let the product do the talking ! Some products with sensible colourful packaging lend themselves perfectly for this kind of "supermarket-type shop display". I love this kind of shop display or visual merchandising because it's simple, very economical, does not take much effort, you're actually showing the product in it's full splendour and mostly just because it looks great.
