Halloween is right around the corner, and printed window graphics can be a great tool for crafting spooktacular retail store window displays. The adaptable format of a printed graphic is ideal for window display ideas of all types, but their removable nature makes them especially useful as seasonal decorations. Here are a few fun and spooky directions to inspire you as you plan your spooky window displays this year.
Pumpkins, straw bales, scarecrows, or other fall decor can look great in your store, as can spooky decor like skeletons, witches, and spiders. No matter whether you're focusing solely on Halloween or mixing it with a more overarching fall theme, though, the right space is required.
However, depending on how much room you have it may not be possible to build 3D displays in your front window areas. Instead, you can opt for stunning, colorful window graphics that can maximize the look you want while only using your glass surfaces as real estate. Retail store window displays can be fully limited to the windows themselves and still be festive and fun.
A Halloween window display is often about the colors that complement the changes in seasons and the upcoming holiday. Black, orange, whites, purples, and greens all fit the palette, but don’t only think in flat colors. You can mix and match opaque graphics with a frosted or etched look, patterns, and translucent graphics that complement or contextualize the displayed objects behind the window. A storefront window film is great, but also consider interior glassed-in displays as potential opportunities.
A unique flair will keep customers coming back, and digital graphics on your window displays can increase interest by coloring and diffusing decorative lighting. Use white ink to mimic backlit frosted finish to create an ambient glow, or a solid graphic with negative space where you want decorative light to shine through, perhaps even completing the image (such as bright jack-o-lantern eyes, glowing potions, spirits, and the like). Graphics attract attention and get people who walk by your store to look more closely at what you have to offer. Properly highlighted they may see something they just can't live without. An “Instagrammable” space also makes it more likely that they’ll tell their friends and family members about the great retail store window display they saw.
The right graphics can make a big difference when it comes to the impact of your Halloween window display. If you're ready to create an amazing display window scene with creative storefront window graphics from LINTEC of America, request a quote today!
