Five Golden Rules of Display
• Know your customer - set your displays to capture YOUR customers' attention.
• Don’t damage the merchandise - never pop damaged merchandise out on the salesfloor unless its in a dump bin.
• Realise your time limitations - when doing displays know it will take you four times longer than you were planning.

• Change your display often - weekly if possible.  Just tweak it, change the focal points, colours...

• Having the right stock
• At the right price
• At the right time
• In the right quantities
• Of the right quality
• In the right manner

Have fun and make sales!
