Description

  The present invention relates to a merchandise display aid used for displaying merchandise on a merchandise display stand in a store, a supermarket, a department store, or the like.

  In the product display using the product display stand, various display methods are adopted corresponding to the products so that customers can easily see a wide variety of products and feel a sense of volume. For example, a partition is provided on the horizontal display surface (product support surface) of the product display stand, and the products are arranged on the display surface for each partition, or the products are arranged with the display surface inclined, or the display surface is arranged. A display method such as providing dolls and arranging products for each doll is used.

  However, it is difficult to prepare a product display stand that can cope with frequent display changes of various products in terms of cost and storage space. Therefore, the same product display stand can be changed, for example, the display surface of the product display stand is horizontal, the product is displayed on the horizontal display surface, the display surface is inclined, and the display surface is inclined. A product can be displayed on the display surface, or a removable product display aid can be placed on the display surface to form a doll, and a product can be displayed on the doll. Conventionally, a product display stand is known (see, for example, Patent Document 1).

In addition, a plurality of block pieces having similar shapes of different sizes are stacked on a display surface to form a product display stand, and the product is displayed on the product display stand in a step shape. Such a method is also conventionally known (for example, see Patent Document 2).
