6 Simple Ways to Liven up Holiday Retail Displays

Try these simple, festive additions for retail décor that packs more of a visual punch

Jazzing up holiday retail décor can be challenging and expensive for mall property owners already stretched thin. But it doesn’t have to be. With some strategically placed additions and festive visual accents, you can make your existing signage more seasonal and also create more engaging holiday displays.

These simple ideas are designed to inspire the delight that inspires holiday purchasing, improves brand image, and encourages the curiosity that helps you welcome more customers into your store.

1. HOLIDAY POLE BANNERS

Est. Price: $125 per banner

Easily adaptable. Budget friendly. Adding light pole banners to shopping district streets or your parking lot extends holiday promotions and messaging into places where customers aren’t normally reached. Custom banners cut into eye-catching shapes can be swapped out easily to highlight seasonal sales, special events, wayfinding, or simply add a splash of welcoming color for holiday shoppers.

Shaped banners paired with wind-spilling, BannerSaver™ wind-spilling hanging hardware ($150 per set) are specifically designed to keep your promotions rolling even when the holiday weather outside is frightful. With BannerSaver, banners can even be mounted on light poles, sidewalk lampposts, and even walls indoors or outside. A small expense that can deliver a big ROI for your business, pole banners are a versatile part of any holiday advertising strategy.

2. HOLIDAY DECALS

Est. Price: $25 to $75 each

Unique die-cut window, wall, and floor decals can communicate special promotions, last-minute deals, and festive accents (die-cut ornaments, evergreen trees, etc.) that can be applied and removed easily and with no residue. Durable floor decals—which can also be used on rough surface walls and sidewalks—can also be used for fun holiday wayfinding (think Santa feet leading from the parking lot to your storefront).
