Creating a scene that reminds people about good memories of their high school life or college adventures is a great way to tug the heartstrings of your customers. Make it fun, sentimental or classic by using different items in your store and use different props to pull off your desired scene. Retouch your usual display racks, trays, cabinets, mannequins or jewelry display stand to better fit your theme or motif.


Think of fun tag lines and put it on attractive banners

There are plenty of ways to ring in the new school year, but instead of using the old and overused back to school greetings, creating your own tag line is much more creative and original. Keep in mind that your tagline should be short, catchy and easy to remember so people will have better recall of your brand even after leaving your store.

Write or print your tagline on attractive banners and place it in the prominent area of your window display. You can use chalkboard as your background so you can easily write down your tag line or short quotation using colored chalks. Use your creativity and imagination to keep your window display unique and engaging.

Lastly, avoid over doing your window display. After putting everything together, take a step back and see if there’s anything that should be added or taken down on your display. Asks few customers about their feedback so you can further learn what works for your target customer so you can do better on the next holidays and important events.
