Back to school shopping this weekend?<\/p>\n

Take time to study windows and displays at the mall to gather ideas for the coming months. Do you see recurring colors, patterns or themes?\u00a0Which ones attract you–make you want whatever they’re selling?<\/p>\n

\"Shopping<\/p>\n

A few years ago, I listened to a FloralStrategies<\/a> webinar Tim Huckabee hosted with Gregory Nato, a visual merchandising expert who’s created displays for brands such as Ralph Lauren, Macy\u2019s, DKNY, Waterford Wedgwood\u00a0and\u00a0Victoria\u2019s Secret. The duo advised turning shopping trips into an opportunities to improve your displays.<\/p>\n

It’s not just about finding inspiration, either.\u00a0Nato recommended that florists introduce themselves to store managers and compliment their windows. The people who put the displays together might have a Saturday or evening to spare when they can decorate your shop for a small fee. Some sales associates will even give\u00a0some retailers pieces from their old window displays rather than throw them away. (Many big brands change their windows monthly.)<\/p>\n

So next time you head to the mall, make sure you bring an inquisitive mind and some business cards!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
