The Essence Retailers Year

Choosing essences that correspond with particular times of year can be a great way to capture your customer’s attention for window displays and in-store promotions as well as in your social media posts, blogs and email newsletter campaigns.

We’ve gathered together a few ideas for seasonal themes, and hope this will inspire you to come up with other themes and ideas throughout the year too.

N.B. These themes align with northern hemisphere seasonal themes so if you’re in the southern hemisphere simply adjust to fit the rhythm of the seasons where you live.
