  1. The Ultimate Guide to Choosing the Perfect Outdoor Christmas Tree Decorating your outdoor space with a Christmas Tree is one of the best end-of-year investments your business can make. An outdoor Christmas Tree makes a bold statement to your customers, elevates your business environment, and gets you more traffic. That said, choosing the best one for you can be a bit complicated. Here’s what you should know.

  2. An outdoor Christmas tree will help you attract more customers and improve their buying experience. Choose a tree based on its physical dimensions, style, and visual alignment with your brand. Outdoor Christmas trees are built to last, but carrying out weekly inspections and maintenance helps them stay in good shape. You can decorate your tree with lights, ornaments, ribbons, toppers, and props for added visual appeal. Outdoor Christmas Trees: Trendy or Tacky? The difference between a tastefully decorated outdoor space and one that might look tacky or over the top largely depends on: execution. When choosing an outdoor Christmas tree, pay attention to the size and design of the tree, as well as how compatible it is with its surroundings. While an outdoor environment gives you more room and flexibility to work with, you still need to consider the ideal dimensions for your space. A taller tree will help you attract more foot traffic but might look out of place in smaller spaces. Design and aesthetics are just as important as size. You want your Christmas tree to be well-decorated and its aesthetic elements to be harmonious with its surroundings. Lighting can be a powerful tool here. By simply matching your tree’s lights to the color palette of your brand, you can create a more memorable customer experience. A study shows colors can help managers enhance the mood of their customers. So, experiment with the colors of your tree and background lights and create some interesting combinations which reflect your brand’s identity.

  3. Benefits of an Outdoor Christmas Tree Outdoor Christmas trees are not all show! They help decorate your property, which can have real, significant benefits for businesses and can help you hit some of your sales targets. A captivating Christmas tree is an investment – one that will pay off for years to come. Attracting Customers Think of an outdoor Christmas tree as a customer magnet. Because it acts like one, especially when you decorate it well and place it strategically on your property to be visible from important sightlines and catch the eye of those passing by. Improving Customer Experience People want to create memories during the holidays. And if you want to leave a lasting impression on your customers, there’s nothing quite like a well- decorated outdoor seating space with a beautiful Christmas tree as its centerpiece. But the benefits don’t extend solely to your customers. Remember that you’ll also boost the morale and productivity of your own employees for as long as the tree is around. Getting Social Attention The Christmas tree provides an attractive background for photos, selfies, and group images. You’ll know if your decorations are working well if customers gather around for a quick selfie or photo. Here’s the thing: Photos are shared excessively on social media during the holidays. So, a well-fashioned Christmas tree can not only get you more customers in-person, but valuable social exposure online too.

  4. Tips to Consider When Choosing an Outdoor Christmas Tree Before anything else, make sure you’re purchasing your tree from a reputable supplier. Look for a solid warranty and after-purchase customer support. To choose the perfect tree, focus on these three factors. Choosing the Right Tree Shape The shape of your Christmas tree influences its visual appeal and determines how well it fits into the available space. You should consider the layout and spatial dimensions of where you’ll place your tree to select the most suitable shape. You have several options: Traditional Full Trees: These trees offer the classic Christmas look. They’re simple yet versatile, which makes them a very popular choice among businesses looking to decorate their outdoors. Slim Pencil Trees: If you’re working with limited outdoor space, slim pencil trees might be a more suitable choice. They take up less room while still adding height and festive charm. They also tend to be more affordable since they use less material. Modern Shapes: If you want to stand out from the ordinary, modern designs and unique shapes are just what you’re looking for. Designs like spiral and walk-through trees help you put on a more avant-garde display.

  5. Choosing the Right Christmas Tree Size The size of your tree needs to be proportional to the outdoor area to avoid overwhelming the space or appearing too small and insignificant. Measure the height and width of the space where the tree will be placed. Ensure there's enough room not just for the tree but also for any additional decorations you might want to add later. Leave a comfortable amount of space for viewers to appreciate the display. Especially so if you’re decorating an outdoor seating space. Your customers probably won’t appreciate the tree as much if it’s so close that it ends up being disruptive and distracting. And most importantly, consider the sightlines to the tree from various approaches to the business. Focus on traffic-heavy points; entrances, exits, and walkways. A larger tree may be necessary to draw traffic from a busy street, while a smaller tree can suffice in a more intimate or pedestrian-friendly setting. Choose The Perfect Type for You Choosing the perfect type starts with deciding whether you need a live or artificial tree. 1.Live-cut This one is an easy decision. For businesses looking to use the Christmas tree for commercial purposes, using an artificial tree is almost always the right call.

Panel trees, on the other hand, use rings in four-foot increments and utilize large panels of foliage. This gives their foliage a very regular and uniform look. If budget isn’t a constraint, giant Christmas trees tend to be the preferred choice. They’re large, awe-inspiring, and have natural-looking foliage. 3.PVC And finally, if you want to get down to the details, consider what material the tree uses for foliage. The two mainly used types are PVC and PE – short for Polyvinyl Chloride PVC is more affordable and durable, but PE looks more natural and realistic due to its being modeled after real branches. If you want the most authentic look possible, go with PE foliage. vs PE and Polyethylene.
