Commercial Holiday Lighting & Decorations

 Christmas is a time of fun and festivities. It’s a time of friendship and family. It’s a time of peace and goodwill. But let’s face it – Christmas is also a time of business. There’s nothing wrong with that. After all, without the commercial aspects of Christmas, we’d be hard-pressed to be able to enjoy all the other aspects of Christmas.

If you own or operate a business of any size, you’ll want to do all you can to get your fair share of the Christmas pie. You’ll want to be able to compete effectively against other businesses during the holiday season—like any other time of the year. One of the best ways to do that is by dressing up your business with Christmas lights and decorations.

Christmas Lights and Décor Are Unbeatable Marketing Tools

If you look at it from a bang-for-the-buck perspective, Christmas lights and décor are highly effective marketing tools. The simple act of decorating your place of business for Christmas offers an impressive range of benefits, including:

• Demonstrating Your Christmas Spirit. Almost everyone gets into the spirit of the season. Your decorated-for-Christmas business will show that you’re also in the Christmas spirit. Since kindred spirits attract, that will help draw Christmas crowds to your business. 

• Staying Competitive. Your business, of course, won’t be the only business dressing up with Christmas décor. Many other businesses will be doing the same – including your direct competitors. So while Christmas decorations can help to give you an edge in your marketing efforts, they can also help prevent you simply from losing ground to competitors.

• Boosting Morale. While it’s true that Christmas decorations can help you to market your business, not all of the benefits will be focused outwards. Christmas décor brings cheer to your employees—as much as to your customers. Christmas decorations makes your business a happier workplace. And indirectly, this results in a boost for your business. Happier employees provide better service, and this translates into happier, more satisfied customers. And don’t think that the benefits of decorating your business will apply only to the Christmas season. In fact, the goodwill and community awareness that your business builds during the Christmas season can extend far beyond the New Year’s.

No Need to Break the Bank to Reap the Benefits

Consider the money you spend on Christmas decorations for your business as a long-term investment. You’ll reap an annual harvest of customer goodwill and attention for many years to come. And like most great investments, a focus on quality initially, yields greater the long-term returns.

But that doesn’t mean that you have to bust your budget to enjoy the business benefits of Christmas decorations.

If your business is a bit budget-challenged right now, you can begin to reap the benefits of Christmas decorations by starting relatively small and simple. Your initial investment will serve as a foundation, one that you can build upon by adding new components every year.

One great foundational starting piece would be C9 lights for outlining the exterior of your business. C9s are the largest Christmas bulbs, and a simple display of C9 lights on your building’s exterior can make for a modest yet attention-getting start to your business’s Christmas décor.

Garland and Wreaths also offer great bang-for-the buck possibilities for decorating businesses. And while not cheap, Commercial Christmas Trees will provide years of service, and are always crowd-pleasing favorites.
