One advantage to a niche blog is that you get wind of trends early. I was initially surprised to find Google searches on Halloween pointed to my eerie fixture posts. “Early isn’t it” I thought. But in my own field I do start planning 6 months ahead of targets. So with Halloween in October, beginning your brainstorming between Groundhogs Day and Valentine’s Day might not be unreasonable for both retailers and the point-of-purchase industry. I do not specialize in Holiday Visual Merchandising, but I do have Tags and Pinterest Boards that might provide creative stimulation for Halloween.
