The holiday season is right around the corner, and while you\u2019re tempted to jump ahead to the December holidays, it\u2019s wise to kick off the season by starting with your fall displays. Autumn d\u00e9cor for fall displays will bring you right up through Thanksgiving and Black Friday. Creating a beautiful fall display draws customers to your store, drives impulse purchases, helps increase fourth-quarter sales, and more.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Focus on Impulse Buys<\/strong><\/h2>\n

While many people strategize their holiday shopping lists and expenses, their budgets usually allow for impulse purchases. With nearly 1 out of 5 unplanned purchases<\/a> due to in-store displays, it pays to focus on fall displays. POP displays with seasonal items like trending gifts, baking items, or home and fashion accessories (hello candles, blankets, and scarves), can be placed at end caps or cash wraps to get noticed. Limited-time promotions, BOGO, bundles, or add-on offers sweeten the deal for many shoppers throughout the store.<\/p>\n

Use Color<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Secondly, the fall season has its own color palette of earthy, rich, vibrant, and warm colors. Colors range from fiery reds, oranges, and yellows to richer hues such as purple, burgundy, green, and brown. One way to work with color is to choose one autumn shade that complements your branding color and use as an anchor in your fall displays. Another way is to select colors based on the feeling you want to express. Vibrant colors, like the reds, yellows, and oranges of fall foilage, can match the energy of the season (that start-of-a-new-school-year feeling), and colors on the earthier side convey the coziness and warmth that crispy, fall air brings.<\/p>\n

Plan for the Holidays<\/strong><\/h2>\n

There are a lot of holidays around the fall season, including Halloween and Thanksgiving, culminating on Black Friday. That provides plenty of opportunities to create seasonal displays. But, it\u2019s also a time that leads up to the busiest time of year for retail. The good news? Your fall displays can transition easily from one holiday to the next without much change, freeing you up to focus on inventory, staffing, and other tasks for Black Friday and beyond. For instance:<\/p>\n

–Welcome Fall, literally. Create \u201cWelcome Fall\u201d signage\u2014on a chalkboard, written on your storefront window, or a graphic framed and placed in your fall displays\u2014to welcome the season and your customers.<\/p>\n

–Pick seasonal produce. Fall d\u00e9cor favorites, like pumpkins, can shine all season. Gourds, pumpkins, and squashes can star in fall displays from harvest to Halloween to Thanksgiving.<\/p>\n

–Add touches of nature to casually signal the season. Adorn your establishment\u2019s door with a seasonal wreath or place garlands and\/or multiple wreaths in shop windows.<\/p>\n

–Send off customers in style. Place customer purchases in autumn-hued shopping bags. Unlike the December holidays, these bags will get more mileage throughout the season.<\/p>\n

Embrace a Rustic Look\u00a0<\/strong><\/h2>\n

\"Rustic<\/p>\n

For example, the Fall season is harvest season. Props, such as wooden crates, carts and barrel displays, help create a rustic look throughout the store. Natural elements such as pinecones, twigs, leaves, ornamental Indian corn, hay bales, and of course, pumpkins and gourds, can be added to the displays in attention to your products. Warm colors and natural textures (burlap, chunky knits, warm LED fairy lights) help pull it all together.<\/p>\n

Combine Seasonal and Evergreen Displays<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Consequently, seasonal displays increase impulse buys but can lead to customer fatigue if overdone. As a result, retailers should combine seasonal accents and merchandise with standard displays. In addition, research<\/a> found that striking a balance between seasonal and evergreen throughout the year can counter fatigue and continue to engage customers. Here are a few small touches to help combine seasonal and evergreen in your fall displays:<\/p>\n

–Line up pumpkins and gourds in your store window displays or display cabinets for a festive hit without changing out your merchandise.<\/p>\n

–Hang paper leaves from the ceiling to capture the essence of the season.<\/p>\n

–Dress up your mannequins with backpacks or vintage Halloween masks.<\/p>\n

Consider Your Lighting<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Moreover, a simple switch for the change of season? Swap out any fluorescent bulbs for warm LED bulbs to add a comforting vibe to your fall displays. Also, the warm, natural white light sets the scene for the autumn season\u2014while still illuminating your merchandise.<\/p>\n
