Consumer & Retail

Beginning on this page, you’ll find galleries featuring over 100 images of deal toys and financial tombstones from the consumer and retail sectors. As you might expect, a number of these tombstone designs play off visuals commonly associated with the space. These include, for instance, credit cards, product replicas of consumer goods, store awnings, retail signs, product displays, shopping bags, and price tags.

You’ll also encounter a number of highly recognizable companies and players in the transactions commemorated here. They encompass both brick-and-mortar and online operations, and include brands such as Visa, Metro, Staples, Selfridges, BUT, PayPal, David Jones, Tiffany, Kohl’s, Alibaba, eBay, Rakuten, and FEMSA.

But you’ll also find a number of deals involving far less familiar participants. These include the acquisition of an airline loyalty program, an investment in a consumer behavior analytics firm, the successful emergence of a retailer from Chapter 11 bankruptcy proceedings, the acquisition of a Swedish e-commerce company, and of a New York-based airline shopping data provider, as well as the debt refinancing of a German supplier of cosmetics packaging.

Finally, you’ll see events and achievements commemorated here that don’t involve a financial transaction. These include, for instance, a custom award honoring merchandising excellence, and another designed for retailer Home Depot.
