Color Science
Unique uses of color and patterns create interest. Use these to your advantage to focus attention on your retail products.  Most of us are over saturated with stimuli especially in the mobile age. Being creative with color will draw the eyes and help pull customer attention away from their glowing rectangles. This increased attention will make customers notice your retail products. More engagement with the products will drive more sales.

How to use Color
Incorporate trending colors through your retail areas and on promotional pieces.  Update your retail bags for the season.  Choose a 2015 colored tote bag as a gift with purchase.  Add labels or ribbon with splashes of these targeted tones to your retail products.  Another fun and inexpensive idea is to line your retail display shelves with tissue paper. This can give it a whole new look for pennies and can be easily changed out as trends come and go.
