You’ve made a name for yourself by making some of the best baked goods around, so make sure your bakery reflects your passion. Even the best baking skills can be sidelined by a bakery location that isn’t using merchandising best practices to boost sales. Your customers eat with their eyes, and if they’re greeted with a sight that’s not appealing, they’ll go elsewhere to find what they’re looking for.

Looking at the selected windows, there is one observation I would like to share with you. Apart of the summer vibe, there are many and diverse past inspirations in the presented collection of 6 head-turning window displays of Summer 2019. Louis Vuitton’s Dream Catcher window scheme is very much 60s inspired of colourful Hippie style or to some, Indian folk inspiration (shall we call it an Indian Summer window display?).

It’s easy to assume that cannabis sells itself, but that’s not necessarily the case. Your dispensary is like any other brick-and-mortar business, but the industry you’re in also lends itself to misconceptions and miseducation about your product. So it’s just as important (probably even moreso) to optimize cannabis dispensary merchandising as it is for any other line of inventory!
