Disney's Magic Display Style

Today I was reading an article about the Walt Disney Company's 2013 retail successes,
- Read it HERE on the Walt Disney Company blog -
and I came across the image above.

Obviously, this image depicts displays of Disney brand merchandise...

NOT so obvious to many may be the WAY the merchandise is presented.
Let me point out a few important things:

Winter Displays

 Winter has arrived!
And even though it looks much better while sitting inside looking out, 
I love the fresh, clean, crisp look of a snow-covered landscape...
the soft, pale winter color palette inspires me.

I shared these photos on my
HOMEWARDfound decor blog today, 
and thought that they ALSO served to inspire retail displays.

Yes, retailers are gearing up for spring already,
but you can still make room for a beautiful winter-themed display in your store or booth.
[Customers DO appreciate being able to find things 'in season', you know!]
You don't need to purchase 'winter' products for this... just use what you already have.
[which is exactly what I tell people about decorating their homes each season!]

How? Keep reading - after the jump!


Winter Displays with Heart

Valentines Day winery display
I've often  talked about restyling 'old' products to create a new look.

I love to make stagnant merchandise look FRESH
by combining it with something new or using a different color to set it off. 
And it really is an effective way to lengthen the 'shelf life' of merchandise, 
instead of just putting it on clearance.  
Keep those profit margins UP, that's the goal.
