Candle & Bath/Body
Candles, soaps, lotions, bath bombs — high-SKU sensory products
Bath and body products sell through smell and touch first. Your layout has to move customers through both before they see a price tag. A sampling table at the front does this — it's not just for free samples, it's the hook that stops foot traffic and gives people a reason to slow down and reach for something. Behind it, the main display organizes by scent family or collection, not by product type. Your florals go together; your woodsy line goes together. Baskets and wooden crates add height and texture without needing shelving units. The visual warmth of natural materials works for this product category in a way that bare folding tables don't. Keep the layout generous with space between collections so each scent zone feels distinct, and make sure nothing with a lid is behind something taller — customers need to open things.

Tips from the setup
- 01
Sampling table at the front, pulled 2 feet inside the booth. Standing behind a table at the very front edge puts you in customer traffic; pulling back invites them in.
- 02
Label scent families, not individual products. "Florals" and "Woodsy + Herbal" as section signs help customers navigate without asking you.
- 03
Basket stands and wooden crates add enough height that customers can see your back table from the aisle. Flat-table layouts disappear in a row of booths.
- 04
Keep your highest-price candles at eye level on risers at the back, not stacked low. Price and position should match.
