Think of a theme as your visual anchor, helping shoppers understand your brand and products and creating a cohesive and memorable display that stops shoppers in their tracks.<\/p>

Using props is one effective way to reinforce a theme. For example, a vendor who sold handcrafted jewelry used faux ice and netting to create a \u201cfish market\u201d display. Another option is to use a large \u201cshowstopper\u201d piece that demonstrates craftsmanship or reflects your theme.<\/p>\n<\/div>
