Here are some VMTeam members who hit the mark with the June Merchandising themes:
Men-centric/Fathers Day
Vintage Dart Board
By: Chic Vintage Wear
Vintage Travel Bar
By: Mod VintageTtravels
1950s Guardian Service Ware
By: Hazel Home
When listing items appropriate for men consider adding men, man and Fathers Day as tags.
Outdoor Activities
Sunset Swimming Pools Design Plan Book 1959
By: Pardon My Past
If your items relates to the outdoors be sure to add that as a tag.
Weddings
Think outside the box as Jacquie Rae did listing these mason jars with the tag Wedding and showing how they can be used as vases and centerpieces. Monograms, wedding party gifts, favors and the bridal shower are all things to consider in this category as well.
There are numerous Trending items but some that stood to me are:
- Vampires (again as HBO's True Blood's new season is starting)
- State Fair and Carnivals
- Throwback to the Speakeasy
- Large scale vintage paper maps
- Botanical and anatomy charts
- Scandinavian patterns and motif
When on your vintage hunting trips keep these trends in mind and build treasuries and tag items appropriately.
This is also the time to start thinking and planning for the holidays! They will be upon us in no time!
Happy hunting! I can't wait to see what wonderful summer items you add!

Thanks for the merchandising tips, I can use all the help I can get. It's hard to know what tags to put on what items when. It's so complicated sometimes. Thanks for adding my back pack to the post.
