Angela's Favourite Wreath!

posted on 25 Mar in Our Products, Showroom by Katie Mann.

If you’re not lucky enough to know our wonderful team of Angels, we would love
to introduce you to our Angel Angela... You possibly know Angela from being one of our office
Angels, but she has now been flourishing even more as an on the road Angel for the past few years. Angela has over 20 years experience in customer service & sales, and loves working closely with our lovely customers & making their lives easier & happier! When she’s not working she loves spending time in the sunshine with her family, friends & new puppy Milo!

We asked Angela to pick her favourite collection for this year, all presented on our huge gorgeous display wreaths and this is what she said...

"The Autumnal Halloween wreath is my favourite…. because we’re not just for Christmas!! Over the last few years, we have extended our Halloween range to incorporate a very on trend Autumn collection. This has proven to be very popular with many customers now doing huge Autumn displays using Wreaths, Garlands, Pumpkins, Toadstools etc. Then once Halloween is upon us, they then add more traditional Halloween pieces including our Seasonal Gonks, Metal & Ceramic Pumpkins alongside our fun & spooky signage. This spreads the cost and availability over a longer period."

She then went on to tell us about her absolute favourite products from the Halloween range...

"I love all of the velvet pumpkins! They look beautiful in a porch or covered doorway or in a fireplace. We have a nice range/mix of colours such as KAA020C, KAA020BG or KAA053. HOM027 is a fun spider bowl perfect for holding Halloween treats. And KAA023 is an
adorable bag of pumpkins that look beautiful displayed in a bowl if you are having a Halloween get together, these can also be split and sold separately.

FMA023 is a lovely set of 3 Metal Pumpkins... I mean why would you want to spend time
carving a pumpkin, when these can be put out every year! KAA049A is ideal to display above a fireplace or around a front door with pumpkins. Also looks fab alongside KAA050! Seasonal gonks SUZ566, are really on trend, so you really can’t go wrong with them! And TM045 is a great pocket money pick up item, that can be used year on year.

Our trick or treat bags - items HO731A, HO731B and HO731C are perfect for carrying around those spooky sweets & gifts. Trick or Treat garland XHP111 is perfect to hang in windows. And our witchy chalkboard HLD489 is fun to display in the garden with some spooky messages!"

When Helen is not running about looking after her grandchildren and baking amazing cakes, she can be found visiting our lovely customers in beautiful areas like Cheshire and Wales. Helen is full of commercial inspiration after years of experience in this industry.

We asked Helen to pick her favourite Christmas theme for this year, all displayed on our huge gorgeous display wreaths and this is what she said...

"I love Traditional...Christmas is everyone’s favourite time of the year and I especially like the start of December when the countdown really begins! In our Traditional collection we have a large selection of countdown Calendars, which are a great way to kick off the start of December. They are a favourite with all children and one of our bestsellers, with over 17 fabulous designs to choose from, along with an excellent range of price points.

Traditional always gets Christmas off to a good start with some amazing statement pieces. Our beautiful range of traditional bells in a variety of colours make a fantastic display in any business, with prices from just 69p to £30+ plus. The smaller selection of bells are so perfect for any wreath making Station or additions to bespoke product, they're also available in every colour and size!

Our selection of proud standing soldiers are perfect for any entrance, along with our lovely post boxes. They create the perfect scene and make any customer wanting to see more.

One of my favourite parts of our Traditional range are the smaller wooden gifts and characters, where we combine wool with rustic woods making them tactile and so soft and quire irresistible They are kept at a very keen trade price points and brighten up any shelf in a home at Christmas… my personal favourite is YIN003, and the little garden acorn characters WLC313 – really they're not to be missed!

Christmas is about tradition and I think this collection is a must for any stockist. Our ranges cover every customer whether young or adult, there’s something for everyone, so don't miss out this year & place your pre orders now to secure your Christmas selection"

Make your Merchandising AMAZING with Jan Billings' Top Display Tips!

posted on 23 Jul in Our Products by The Marketing Angels.

Did you attend Jan’s Visual Design seminar and workshop at our Retail Festival held this summer? If you did, you no doubt went away feeling inspired and ready to create some brand new displays.

For any of you who may have missed it, here’s seven simple, actionable steps from the expert to help you create amazing visual displays that will grab people’s attention and turn them into customers!

IN STOCK NOW! We have a wide range of Display items to take your merchandising to the next level.

1. Plan & Prepare!

Failing to plan is planning to fail, as they say! Make your life easier by planning ahead and preparing all of the materials you will need in advance. Have you decided on a theme, colours etc.? It may help you to sketch out what you are planning for reference.

Plan your display updates ahead of time, factoring in seasons & important occasions such as Mother’s Day, Valentine’s day, Easter etc. Pop them in your calendar so you & your customers don’t miss out!

2. Change Your Displays Often

Keep your displays fresh and engaging by rotating stock often. This will help keep people’s interest.

These rustic trolleys are the perfect base for creating a versatile (and mobile!) display which can literally be carted around your retail space.

3. Risers are a Must!

What’s a riser you ask? Anything that can be used as a surface to elevate a product, such as a box, a crate etc. Risers give height and variation to displays and are essential elements in the creative process, lifting from one level to several… the result is a visually appealing product presentation without much effort!

Crates & boxes make the perfect risers, especially if they come in a variety of heights like our RAM017 crates. They even have a chalkboard for some interesting typography or maybe you wish to highlight an offer?

It’s amazing how you can transform some old boxes you may already have with a coat of paint, or cover them in wallpaper. They’ll be so appealing in their own right that your customers will want to buy them too!

4. Pyramid, Grouping & Space

This is the core theory of setting up an engaging display, so write this one down!

Working in a pyramid shape is vital to creating an eye-catching & professional display. Start with the largest and tallest items at the back and then build up the display moving outwards and downwards.

In this case, less is definitely more… leave room around the edges for the whole display to breathe. Reserve the main sections of the display for your star products and bestsellers.

Keep it simple until you get the hang of this technique… our pyramid display units are the perfect place to start RAM020.

5. Add Some Height

Work on adding height to your display to attract attention & draw your customer’s eye down to the main focus point no matter where the display is situated.
Our birdcage table top units will do the trick.

6. Finishing Touches

Put your own personal stamp on the display with the finishing touches. These are so easily forgotten but makes the difference between a standard display to a show-stopping one!

Smaller decorative items really bring the look together- the devil is the in detail! Try faux flowers for that added splash of colour to compliment your larger pieces. No watering required!

7. Regular Housekeeping

You’ve put all this effort into creating a beautiful display- don’t let it get untidy! Tired and dusty displays will not help your sales. Follow this checklist to maintain your displays:

• Check your lighting- do any bulbs need to be replaced? Are they dusty?
• Is the display facing the traffic flow- things get picked up and turned, make sure they are put back facing where most of your foot traffic is coming from
• Has anything fallen?
• Are your windows dirty? Give them a good clean so they sparkle. Don’t forget dusty window sills and dead flies…
• Has any of the product faded in the sun? Time to replace them to keep the display looking fresh.

We hope you find these tips useful! If you missed Jan’s workshop this year at the Retail Festival, make sure you keep an eye out for our showroom events! We invite top industry experts to share their knowledge with our lovely customers.
