Holiday Season = Dining Season


The world of retail is steadily preparing for the most exciting time of the year: the holiday shopping season.  Now is the time to begin capturing the hearts and minds of your customers by inspiring them with eye-catching displays. Are you ready?  If not, here are a few helpful tips on getting your showroom prepared.

 
 

In the furniture industry, the holiday season means time for customers to spruce up their homes with new dining room furniture that will accommodate large family meals. Make this the time to feature your dining groups. 

 

  • - Thoughtfully place a well-coordinated dining set with a vignette near your entry and at other focal points.  
  • - Choose a couple key displays and set the dining tables with style appropriate place settings, a table runner, and some candle holders or a floral arrangement.
  • - Take the time to refresh your dining area by making sure groups are well organized and in good condition.
  • - Sell off scratched and damaged pieces in order to put your best foot forward.
  • - Bring in new looks to set yourself apart from the competition.

 

Sprinkle Some Sparkle

With family and friends coming to visit, your customers may feel it’s time to redecorate their homes by adding some new accents.  Like you, they want to put their best foot forward, so make sure your showroom sparkles with attractive accents and accessories.

 

  • - Refresh any key displays with new accessories. This will especially help to inspire returning customers.
  • - Make sure accessories are well coordinated with the furniture they are displayed on. Accents can sometimes get moved around so now is a good time to regroup and reposition items.
  • - Take note of accents and accessories you have on display and whether you need to order more to replenish stock.
  • - Don’t forget to refresh your accent rug selection.  Rugs help change the overall look of a room, so make sure you have plenty of rugs on display, even under dining tables.

Be Tastefully Festive

Create a festive feeling in your store by adding some well-chosen decorations to the entry, customer service, or a special display.  This can be something as simple as a tasteful wreath or floral arrangement that reflects the season. Customers will share in a sense of conviviality when greeted with cheerful decorations.

 

Sing it With Signage

The holiday season often brings holiday promotions, so don’t forget to show them off with the right signage.  Consider different ways to advertise special promotions, such as banners, posters, or even hang tags.  If you’re not sure how to best sing it with signage, ask any of the knowledgeable people at Moso and they will work with you to find the best solution.
