The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the one or more rear brackets are slidably attached to one or more vertical channels defined by the one or more vertical panels so that a vertical position of each vertical panel is adjustable relative to the substantially horizontal shelf. 3. The apparatus of claim 2, wherein the one or more vertical panels comprise at least a first vertical panel and a second vertical panel, the vertical position of the first vertical panel relative to the substantially horizontal shelf being substantially similar to the vertical position of the second vertical panel relative to the substantially horizontal shelf. 4. The apparatus of claim 1, in combination with the plurality of products and the graphic panels, wherein the graphic panels are viewable to a consumer and display the images that generally match with the one or more graphic images borne by the plurality of products when the one or more graphic images borne by the plurality of products are non-viewable to the consumer. 5. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein at least a portion of the rear mounting portion rests on the upper surface of the substantially horizontal shelf while engaging the rear face of the substantially horizontal shelf, and at least a portion of the front mounting portion rests on the upper surface of the substantially horizontal shelf while engaging the front face of the substantially horizontal shelf. 6. The apparatus of claim 5, wherein the rear mounting portion defines a friction-fit channel that engages the rear face of the substantially horizontal shelf, a top surface of the substantially horizontal shelf, and a bottom surface of the substantially horizontal shelf, and the front mounting portion defines a friction-fit channel that engages the front face of the substantially horizontal shelf. 7. A display apparatus, comprising: a plurality of shelves each having a substantially horizontal surface to support a plurality of products bearing one or more images, at least one of the shelves being arranged vertically above another of the shelves; andfirst and second product signage assemblies that are horizontally spaced apart relative to one another, each of the first and second product signage assemblies comprising: a shelf mounting assembly that releasably engages a rear face, a front face, and the substantially horizontal surface of a corresponding shelf of the plurality of shelves;a signage retainer member mounted to the shelf mounting assembly in a vertical orientation and being positioned forward of the plurality of shelves so as to span a vertical height greater than two of the plurality of shelves;a plurality of generally planar display members removably coupled to the signage retainer member in a generally vertical array;wherein: a first signage retainer member of the first signage assembly is slidably adjustable relative to the corresponding shelf so that a vertical position of the first signage retainer member is substantially similar to a vertical position of a second signage retainer member of the second product signage assembly, andthe plurality of generally planar display members of the first product signage assembly are each removably coupled to the first signage retainer member and are positioned forward of the front face of the corresponding shelf, wherein each of the plurality of generally planar display members defines a substantially planar front surface extending substantially entirely in a plane substantially parallel to the front face of the corresponding shelf; andone or more slidable arms coupled to the first signage retainer member, the one or more slidable arms being slidably attached to a channel defined by the first signage retainer member so that the vertical position of the first signage retainer member is slidably adjustable relative to the corresponding shelf;wherein each shelf mounting assembly comprises a rear element to engage the rear face of the corresponding shelf and a front element to engage the front face of the corresponding shelf, and the front element is releasably coupled to the rear element with a toolless connector. 8. The apparatus of claim 7, in combination with the plurality of products supported on the plurality of shelves, wherein the plurality of generally planar display members have images thereon that are substantially identical to the one or more images borne by the plurality of products supported by the plurality of shelves, and the generally planar display members coupled to each signage retainer member are viewable to a consumer when the one or more images borne by the plurality of products supported by the plurality of shelves are non-viewable to the consumer. 9. The apparatus of claim 6, wherein: the rear mounting portion includes a first substantially planar panel forwardly extending from the friction-fit channel defined by the rear mounting portion,the front mounting portion includes a second substantially planar panel rearwardly extending from the friction-fit channel defined by the front mounting portion, andthe first substantially planar panel of the rear mounting portion and the second substantially planar panel of the front mounting portion overlap and are secured to one another. 10. The apparatus of claim 6, wherein at least one of the friction-fit channel defined by the rear mounting portion and the friction-fit channel defined by the front mounting portion includes grip pads on an inner surface thereof for directly interfacing with the substantially horizontal shelf. 11. A product display shelf apparatus, comprising: a substantially horizontal shelf having an upper surface to support a plurality of products bearing one or more graphic images;a rear mounting portion that engages a rear face of the substantially horizontal shelfa front mounting portion being releasably coupled to the rear mounting portion and engaging a front face of the substantially horizontal shelf;one or more vertical panels having transparent display portions that removably retain graphic panels bearing images that generally match with the one or more graphic images borne by the plurality of products; andone or more rear brackets slidably attached to the one or more vertical panels, wherein the rear brackets engage the front mounting portion to hold the one or more vertical panels in an operative position generally perpendicular to the substantially horizontal shelf and forward of the front face of the substantially horizontal shelf;wherein: the substantially horizontal shelf defines a lower surface, which is positioned opposite the upper surface of the substantially horizontal shelf, and a side surface extending substantially perpendicularly with respect to the upper surface of the substantially horizontal shelf, andthe apparatus further comprises a shelf clip including: a top extending portion extending over one of the rear mounting portion and the front mounting portion,a middle extending portion extending downwardly from the top extending portion alongside the side surface of the substantially horizontal shelf, anda bottom extending portion contacting the lower surface of the substantially horizontal shelf opposite the upper surface of the substantially horizontal shelf. 12.
