Cross merchandising is trickier than it seems. If done well, you’ll see huge turns on the displayed items. But too often, easily avoided mistakes lead to stagnant sales.

“You have to be bold enough to attempt it. Sometimes that boldness means you will put things together that might not work visually, but until you try it you won’t know if it is shoppable for your customers,” said Richard Holberg, principal at Holberg Design in York, Pa.
