Make mine Marsala! 3 Great Tips for Marketing Sizzle

1.Show it off! Create a display using Marsala colored products and complementary colors. This works for every retail product! Add a shelf talker to share that this is THE color of the year!

2.Get Social! Pin original pictures of your products on Pinterest or create a new board dedicated to your Marsala inspirations and retail items. Invite others to pin to the board. Remember-you can post a PIN to your Facebook and Twitter accounts in just 2 clicks! This maximizes your impact!

3.Make it a party! Encourage guests to drop by to see your Marsala display, experience a new nail or lip color or try out the color in a new scarf, piece of jewelry or home accessory. Serve a Marsala colored beverage. This can be as simple as a Marsala Happy Hour during your regular hours. I even posted a non- alcoholic tea for you on my Pinterest Board!
