Summer Market Season is an interesting time to explore. You are
offered a sense of particularly successful product launches in January, as Vendors
share line extensions of the most popular offerings. The same is true for observing
trends and display ideas that took off, during the retail year to date.
While it is the perfect time to focus on these new and shiny introductions,
it is also important to look at items with staying power (the same can be said of
trends). Mixing the new with the old will certainly help you going into fourth
quarter. Create a winning holiday season with these fresh finds beautifully pared
with customer favorites.
Think of new and unique ways of displaying products that may otherwise begin to look stale or dated.
Hanging a variety of different handbags or totes individually on the wall can create an eye-catching focal point to draw your customers.
In front of the wall display, use different height podium pedestals to display additional handbags or baskets filled with coordinating accessories; wallets, phone cases, coin purses, or identification holders.
Recreate this display in your gift shop with the featured items or create your own.
