The Countdown to Retail’s Biggest Day

The countdown to Black Friday is on: The aisles are getting busier, the discounts deeper, and the competition fiercer. Are your Black Friday retail display ideas ready?

The five days spanning Thanksgiving to Cyber Monday represent some of the busiest shopping days of the year as consumers make purchases both online and in-store. According to the National Retail Federation, while consumers spread their 2025 holiday spending over the months leading up to the holidays, nearly two-thirds (63%) of consumers plan to do most of their holiday shopping on Thanksgiving weekend, up from 59% last year.

With consumers beginning their holiday shopping earlier each year, by Black Friday they are no longer browsing, but strategically shopping for the best deals. That makes your visual merchandising and choice of retail displays even more important—they need to draw customers in and increase the likelihood of a purchase. Here’s how retail displays can help maximize traffic and sales this Black Friday.

Black Friday Retail Display Ideas: Key Takeaways

  • Black Friday shoppers arrive ready to buy—not browse. Your displays must clearly highlight deals, guide traffic, and encourage fast decision-making.
  • Preparation is crucial. Stock up on versatile, quick-to-set-up displays like nesting pedestals, modular risers, and adjustable sign holders to streamline busy holiday-floor changes.
  • Storefront impact drives foot traffic. Digital signage, bold banners, and custom-printed backdrops help promote doorbusters, flash sales, and limited-time offers from afar.
  • Use elevated, illuminated, and mirrored displays to spotlight featured merchandise and create a festive, high-impact holiday aesthetic.
  • Smart floor and countertop organization boosts conversions. Use pedestals, acrylic boxes, modular displays, and strategic signage to guide shoppers and highlight high-margin items.
  • Checkout zones are prime for impulse buys. Stocking stuffers, small gifts, and gift cards shine when displayed in tidy dump bins, rotating displays, and tiered organizers.
  • Flexibility matters across the whole weekend. Modular and reconfigurable displays help you adapt as inventory changes.
  • Products should transition seamlessly from Black Friday to holiday merchandising. Reusable displays—like digital signage and adjustable risers—make updates fast and efficient. Continue reading Black Friday Retail Display Ideas to Maximize Traffic & Sales

Dump bins—though they have an unfortunate name—are retail heroes when it comes to displaying bulk items. Commonly used for candy displays and snack items at the checkout, they are perfect for holding a large amount of smaller, individual products (like those candy bars).
