🌟A magical reveal... a VisualDoodle vision... a winning wish... and a gift to ignite your next big idea! 🎁
If you've seen me at events, or booked a 1:1 online, you may have seen my magic wand... a playful prop I use when we talk about bringing ideas to life.
But have you paused yet to think about what you wish for in 2026...?
Because when you take time to reflect on what you really want, and give your wish space to breathe, that's when new ideas start to shine.
Before you step into December, I'd love to take you on this journey of imagination… from envisioning ideas and writing a Wish Star for the VisionTree... to a special gift designed to help you bridge the gap between where you are now… and where you’d love to be next year.
So let’s begin by showing you how I breathe life into ideas...
Envisioning the Idea Before it Exists
When I began thinking about my pop-up stand design for the BIPC Business Support Showcase, I reached for my magic pen and paper to sketch out all the ideas swirling in my mind.
There is something magical about making your thoughts visible... it clarifies what you want to create and why.
I didn't want to turn up at the event with just a banner, a few leaflets and some giveaways... because having a stand is an opportunity to showcase what you do, spark conversations, and interact with visitors in a fun and inspiring way.
And because one of the workshops I teach is The Pop-up Solution, I needed to ensure my stand made a statement!
🎥 Watch this time -lapse video to see how I doodled my design and shared my though process.
Bringing the Vision To Life
Making ideas visible is at the heart of what I do at Create Intrigue.
Inside my Visual Marketing Academy, I teach how to apply design and display principles that help make your stand truly stand out!
I call it the 'silent sales strategy' because your display should create intrigue and attract attention before you even say a word. These are the same techniques big brands use to elevate customer experience and boost sales... often without you realising their visual marketing is making an impact.
🎥 Watch this video to reveal how the vision became a reality.
When You Wish Upon a Star...
Your dreams really can come true!
During the BIPC Business Support Showcase, I invited visitors to write a Wish Star and attach it to my VisionTree... each one represented the dream of a business owner and the spark of possibility.
