The Art Of The Holiday Display

For retailers around the world – summer is a busy time. Back to school in action, Halloween in the pipeline, and the biggest season of all right around the corner. Even if we’re experiencing 90 degree temps and 90% humidity – we need to be THINKING like its 10 degrees and snowing! That’s because we need to think like it’s CHRISTMAS… in JULY!

Planning around the Mindset of the Holiday Shopper

So planners, crank up the AC, don your finest pom pom hat (or touque, eh?), and try to get in the mindset of the last minute holiday shopper. What are they thinking in December that we need to tap into? They say to themselves.

According to Pamela N. Danziger, contributor over at Forbes, customers are “driven today not by a passion to acquire more things, but by a deep desire for more experiences. Retailers will work to give them those experiences.”

More Than a Look: How Do You Create the Feel of the Holidays?

Retailers need to tap into as many senses as possible in a well-planned delivery of the user experience.

Trash the Old Tree: Stop with the Status Quo

So many retailers pull out the tired tree and garland and try to get away (for just one more year) with doing what they did for the last 10 years. Retailers need to step it up. From the window display to the sale bins – it doesn’t just have to look festive – it needs to BE FESTIVE.
