Abstract
A device for advertising products on retail store shelving which includes an advertising placard adapted to be suspended from a shelf. The placard includes an elongated card which is folded to form a front panel and a side panel. The side panel is positioned substantially at right angles to the front panel and its upper edge abuts against the shelf when suspended from the front edge of the shelf by a suspender strap. The side panel supports the front panel at a predetermined angle relative to the vertical. The side panel may bear advertising indicia thereon which is visible when viewed from the side and may be supported in its angular displacement from the front panel by a return panel which transverses the distance between the distal end of the side panel and the reverse side of the card.
