Display tip

The Hollywood Hibiscus brand lends itself to a multitude of creative merchandising ideas, due to its “celebrity” name. Try using the Hollywood sign and vintage projectors and cameras on an endcap display, make star cutouts for an exciting Walk of Fame near the storefront, or create a Hollywood Hibiscus Selfie Station where customers can take photos with their favorite varieties.
