We went simple with games. We created some big dice, and snakes out of coloured tights, and used ladders that we stock. We created layers by using boxes of different heights, to display stock on. It was simple but fun.

Throwback Thursday. I can’t say I remember the date for this window display. However we wanted to promote our fishing products. So we created an ocean, with a boat on top to add layers. It looked pretty great but was a struggle to put together. We needed to hang the mannequin to hold it in place as if it were swimming. We had wires across the top of the window to hang things from. However they are not too strong and the mannequin was heavy, although we managed to get it to hold and it looked pretty great. This is definitely a beloved creation.
Throwback to Halloween 2015. I think this is by far my favourite Halloween display we have done. Mum came up with the idea of doing a silhouette with orange behind it. So I spend a month buying black cardboard and drawing the shapes, then cutting them out and storing them until we were ready to put the window in. I may be biased but I love it, and even looking back it’s still one of my favourite displays. Sometimes it’s not always about displaying our products but instead it’s about creating an experience for our customers.
In honour of throwback Thursday, we are revisiting some of our earliest displays. This one is Halloween 2014. It was a mix of skeletons, a graveyard and a pirate ship. We made a huge papier-mâché spider. Reused some previously made cardboard monsters and gravestones, and a pirate ship I made out of boxes. At the time we were quite proud of it but looking back I can definitely see how far we have come in our displays since.
January 2017…… lets go fly a kite has possibly been one of the simplest but best displays we have done. We had so many customers looking for kites so it really promoted our products. To be honest creating the big kite was a bit of a mission, we stuck a lot of kites together with tape, and it ended up looking quite good. However to get the shape was hard work, maths and shapes are not my strong suit. Pictures aren’t so good as they were taken in the day but you can get the idea……
December 2016…..this year our focus was santas workshop. We made the elves out of dolls and baby outfits. We created a fireplace out of boxes and paint, and reused a premade sleigh. We also made a clock but unfortunately our glue didn’t stick too well and it partially fell down. However overall we were happy with it.
October 2016…..Halloween happens to be my favourite display of the year. We always plan well in advance and decided on a graveyard theme for 2016. We use a mix of bought products, painted and borrowed objects to create these displays. I think usually takes a day and a half to complete, but it is always well worth it. Our local mitre 10 lent us the bath, which was a huge part of our display and had a skeleton sitting in it with red cellophane all around it. This window earned us a write up by toy and hobby retailer online so was pretty exciting.
September 2016……As we are a sports and toy store we often do a mix of windows. September is whitebait season, so we had to create a display to reflect this. This one doesn’t require as much planning but it is time consuming to find all the products we needed. We often use curtains behind the display as otherwise you look directly into the store. (This is not appealing in a display sense). A window like this usually takes a full day to complete but we put them together over the two days we are closed as it’s much easier when no one is around.
