How smart retailers use seasonal graphics to drive footfall and protect their brand at the same time
The best retail promotional signage does two things simultaneously. It drives the behaviour the business wants — more footfall, more transactions, more engagement with a specific product or offer — and it does it in a way that is consistent with how the brand wants to be seen.
The pressure to cut corners
This sounds obvious, but the pressures of a sale period often push businesses towards the first objective at the expense of the second. The need to communicate a message quickly and cheaply results in signage that looks cheap — and cheap-looking signage communicates something about the business that outlasts the sale period.
Seasonal graphics done well
Seasonal graphics done well use the brand’s design language, the brand’s colour palette, and the brand’s tone of voice. They are produced to a print quality that matches the permanent signage of the business. They are applied professionally and removed cleanly. And they make the business look like it planned the promotion — like this is something it does, not something that happened to it.
The full seasonal toolkit
The full range of seasonal promotional tools includes window vinyl graphics (link) that transform the shopfront for the duration of the promotion, A-boards (link) on the pavement with a clear headline offer, roller banners inside the store at key product areas, floor graphics (link) at the entrance that draw customers in, and hanging ceiling displays for high-traffic areas.
For businesses that run the same promotions each year — summer, back to school, Black Friday, Christmas — the most efficient approach is to develop a promotional design suite that can be adapted each season rather than starting from scratch every time. The assets are yours, the design language is consistent, and the execution gets faster and cheaper each time.
