DYO WALL pog ü POG Bentos– q Core Blue q Navy Blue q Floral q XOXO q HBD q Congrats q Thank you ü Please note that we will now be featuring some DYO bentos open so they become a silent seller through our merchandising. ü The top row of the ’Fill a Box’ area features the boxes open with the 4x10 gift wrap sign. The below shelves are easily shop-able. ü Ideally, if your stores’ DYO wall is large enough, open every other box so that the 1st 3pc is open, the next row is shop-able, the next size is open, and then the next is closed & shop-able, and so on. ü The most important tactic is to keep a pattern going and not have every single box open.
