Halloween Candy Display: Plan the Reset as well as the Launch
A seasonal display has two deadlines: the day it opens and the day the shop must change it. Plan both before adding decoration.
Start with the decision
Choose the seasonal assortment and available fixture footprint, then work back through stock delivery, artwork and setup approval. Keep ordinary prices and ingredient information readable beneath campaign graphics.
Work through the details
Make the first fill small enough to inspect and refill. Separate reusable props from disposable print, and avoid placing large decorations across service access or the main customer route.
A planning example
A display uses reusable candy props with dated October print. Record the print removal separately from the stock review. The props may return to storage while each product follows its own condition, date and supplier instructions; the calendar alone does not decide product disposition.
Check it in the shop
Set a review point before the campaign ends. Use actual stock condition and supplier instructions to decide what remains saleable, then remove outdated graphics and restore the continuing range without inventing a guaranteed sell-through target.
