Tiny, Mighty, and Totally Irresistible: Summer’s MVPs
July 07, 2025
Summer retail can be like a boardwalk rollercoaster—some ups, some downs, lots of twists and turns, and super fast! People are bustling about, traveling, browsing, and passing the time between beach visits and ice cream runs. If you don’t have the time, energy, or space in your shop amid the busy crowd, we’ve got some tips to keep your shelves fresh, fun, and exciting.
We recommend our summer MVPs: postcards, magnets, and stickers. These small paper heroes are tiny but powerful, with zero drama and high reward.
Why These Retro Souvenirs Work
-
They’re impulse-ready. No one plans to buy stickers, but suddenly they’re at the register, mesmerized by their mystical charm, and just like that, it’s in the basket.
-
They tell a story in a flash. A quirky magnet sparks smiles and nostalgia, and may even serve as a time-traveling spinner of yarn.
-
They’re display-light. Tuck a spinner rack or a mini basket of postcards repping your city by the checkout for an easy update, no renovation required.
-
They pack small but sell big. Low price points are an easy “yes” – even for travelers on a budget. And with vintage designs that are this delightful (and easy to travel home with), people buy multiples.
We’re Here for Easy
You don’t need to overhaul your shop to attract summer traffic. Press the easy button for a little boost. Custom charm goes a long way. Add local flavor with a hint of history by displaying a collection of city-specific postcards, magnets, and stickers by your front door. Think mini basket of postcards, a tray of magnets, and a set of stickers on the shelf. These aren’t just add-ons; shoppers use them to remember their vacations, and they might just lure those shoppers back to your town summer after summer!
Let the Good Vibes Roll
This season, make your shop the stop that makes people smile. That’s what we believe vintage paper goods are all about—small joys, easily shared.
So, whether you have two months left in your high season or just two days before the coaster closes for the summer, it’s not too late. You’ve got this. And if you need help finding the best images for your shop, let us know! We’d love to help you scan through our catalog of 60,000 images to find the perfect package for your shop.
