Summer is in Full Swing!
Summer is heating up and it’s time for bright and colorful art — we’re already starting to see a flood of strong designs being uploaded. Customers are thinking about decorating for sunny weather, beach days and vacays so keep all that in mind when uploading new designs and deciding which products to enable or promote.
Design Recommendations for Summer Trends & Sales
Halfway through the year is the perfect time to take a good look at some of the most popular designs and trending themes. We caught up with world traveler and creative design star Cat Coquillette for our Trends With Benefits feature: How To Capitalize On Popular Styles. Cat digs in and shares the goods on how she implements trends into her work and then merchandises that into products for her S6 store.
