The seasons and holidays represent opportunities for Brand Managers to increase product sales with retail POP displays and other forms of in-store merchandising.
Considering that the drop-dead date for major retailers is six months ahead of the holiday, and that it takes two additional months to create new displays on average, here’s a calendar that will help remind you when to get started on new holiday display development.
