  20. NO PRODUCT SHOULD EVER HAVE A BIRTHDAY IN YOUR BUSINESS
  21. 5 TIPS FOR WINDOWS: Completely empty and clean window first. Keep playing with the undressed layout until you know it is right. It’s harder to change it once you have dressed it. (i.e. Bake a good cake before you ice it!!) Don’t try to tell too many stories in one window. Only select pristine items and ensure garments/fabrics are steamed or ironed. Dress a bit then go outside and assess it from the street – that’s the view the customers get.
  22. THE END IS HERE… Angle lighting to your finished display Clear away mess and tidy/clean Watch how customers react to your work. If they stop and seem interested, you have what I like to call “a success!”
