Christmas has been coming to stores earlier and earlier each year, as demand for shopping guides and deals has soared.
However, planning launches of Christmas products to be as impactful as possible is no easy task when every single brand is doing the same. High streets are packed with Christmas-themed points of retail displays, whilst online stores are packed with money-saving offers.
Your first and only shot at a positive first impression as a store begins with the retail design. If your shop design misses or the trade display designs fail to make an impact, you have missed your opportunity to grab the attention of shoppers.
It’s a hard fact to hear, and it can even be overwhelming, but the solution doesn’t have to be. Having smart retail displays and a shop design that is engineered to be engaging as well as functional is a possible reality for your store with smart retail design.

Back in April, we wrote about how due to the pandemic and the subsequent meteoric rise of online shopping, if retail is to exist, there needs to be a reason to visit.
Back in 2019 and after years of hard work and rigorous assessment we were awarded the prestigious Investors in People Gold Award. It’s a massive achievement for any business to be accredited with Investors in People, never mind the gold standard, but what exactly does that mean and how does it affect you, the customer?
