All About Fall
Greetings ya ghouls and goblins! (Sorry, we’ll stop.)
It’s October and people everywhere are having the same conversation, did this year fly by or what? We’re already out here scouring the pharmacy aisles for discounted bulk candy and it seems like yesterday we were having a picnic in the park. Time is crazy like that. Anywho…
With cooler temps on the horizon or, for the unlucky, already on their doorstep, customers are refreshing their wardrobes with long sleeve shirts, hoodies and leggings. Cozy accessories are also feeling the love, think floor pillows, throw blankets, and rugs. Keep this in mind as you upload new designs and enable new products!
The Trend Report: October
This month we chatted with Society6 Art Director and artist Jessica Parker for our Trends With Benefits: How To Capitalize On Popular Styles feature. She shares the top three things she thinks are going to be huge this fall. Follow these tips and make them your own to get ahead of the game this winter season.
