As we start the busy Holiday retail season, I thought I’d feature a few especially nice displays. I’ll start with the cutest OPEN sign ever! Sugarplum Kids, with locations in Alpharetta and Duluth, Georgia sells designer clothing for babies and kids, but they chose a onesie to use as their OPEN sign. What a clever way to showcase their product. And, no, I didn’t ask them if it says CLOSED on the backside.

I like versatile displays and efficient usage of space, so I applaud the way Swagger Gifts, of Cary, North Carolina, stacked their tables for this Christmas display. Anytime you can build your display upward, it increases the merchandise per square foot ratio in your store. I am a big fan of tiered tables and these classic white, coordinated - but not matching - tables stack up nicely in this pretty shop.

 

 

 

Look closely and you will see that the hanging props in this store window are made from rolled up newspaper and joined with ornaments in the center to create decorative bursts. This winter wonderland window is at Tracy b  in New Haven, CT. I am sure that it could be made into a year-round concept by rolling up colorful pages from magazines and using spring flowers in the center.

Love it!

Enough said.

 

 

 

 

This next display is a shoe table at Shoefly and Sox in Ukiah, CA. It’s a great layout with just the right amount of display props. Suitcases are one of my favorite props for most any type of store. I will be featuring more suitcase display ideas in upcoming blogs, but I think this one is especially nice.

I hope that your stores are busy for the holidays and that you also find some time for family and friends. When you do, I hope you sit at a table as lovely as this one displayed at Salutations Home in Pasadena, CA.
