  • Strategic Display: Set up your stall with the brightest and most visually striking items at the front. These light-up products sell themselves with their glow, so the more eye-catching your display, the more sales you’ll make.
  • Engage Your Audience: Demonstrate the products, especially the swords and spinners, to attract a crowd. Seeing them in action increases the likelihood of impulse buys.
  • Prepare for Popular Times: Most purchases will happen in the early evening when families arrive for events, so be ready for a surge of sales just before it gets dark.

By stocking these must-have LED items from Glowtopia, you’ll be well-prepared to cash in on the seasonal demand. With the right strategy and a well-chosen product lineup, Halloween and Bonfire Night could be your most profitable events yet!

Happy Selling!
