THIS MONTH’S QUICK TIP
Plan Window Displays For Your Target Viewer
When creating your window
display, always keep your target viewer in mind. The “target viewer” is the
person that passes by your space the most, and depending on your store’s
location, your viewer could be whizzing by in a car or meandering down the
sidewalk. Each type of viewer will need a different display tactic to lure her
into your store. At Design*Sponge , a daily website dedicated to home and
product design, Kate Pruitt, an artist, designer and former Anthropologie
display coordinator, notes in a guest post: “Drive-by customers need immediate
impact; they won’t see a tiny bird on the rim of a teacup. Bright color, high
contrast, and something easy to see from a distance will make the most impact
on drivers. Street customers can spend more time studying the displays up
close, and marvel over vignettes and little details. If you have both types of
viewers, employ both in your design."
