It’s December, the month of cold but warm celebrations. It is peak holiday season. You’re heading home but want to get your family/friends/partner a gift. You see two stores. One of them has holiday music playing, employees that look alive, it has decorations up creating a vibe and it smells of holidays. On the other hand, you’ve got an ordinary old store that made little to no effort to show enthusiasm about the holiday season. Which one do you walk into?
Decorations Matters
Most individuals will probably choose to go with option a, the store that got into the holiday spirit. Even if we assume the price of the item you wished to purchase remained the same in both stores, it isn’t a leap to assume the majority of folks would choose to walk into the former store. Why? Because of the extra step they took in setting up commercial Christmas decorations. Aesthetics matters greatly, and not only have several studies been conducted to test and prove the same, but it is obvious for all to see in their daily lives.
Let us dive a little deeper and see the exact reasons why businesses need to invest more in proper, professional holiday decorations:
1. Enhancing Customer Experience and Attracting Foot Traffic
We’ve already somewhat addressed this advantage, but we’ll repeat just to really drive the point home. A well-decorated business premises can create a warm and inviting atmosphere, encouraging customers to linger longer and potentially make more purchases.
Decorations are an opportunity for a business to show off its creativity and stand out. The visual appeal of decorations can draw in passersby, increasing foot traffic and, consequently, sales.
2. Employee Morale and Productivity +1
The holiday season is stressful, but merely because of the increased footfall, but also because the employees have to work on days most people don’t. That gets to you. However, a festive workplace becomes a home away from home. Decorations create a joyful environment that uplifts employee spirits. Having your employees actively participate in the decorating process can even end up being a fun activity, strengthening the team bond and promoting a positive work culture.
3. Reinforcing Brand Identity
Commercial Christmas decorations can be made or purchased in accordance with a brand’s identity. This includes, but isn’t limited to, colors, themes, and logos. Such branding through decorations not only provides customers with some new things to look at but also subconsciously reinforces brand loyalty and recall. Using one’s creativity, one thinks of numerous ways of decorating a christmas tree or any piece of holiday decoration.
4. Using Social Media and Marketing Opportunities
Eye-catching holiday decorations provide excellent content for social media platforms. Customers are more likely to share photos of beautifully decorated spaces, providing free marketing for your business.
Encouraging customers to share their experiences online can expand your reach and attract new clientele.
5. Ensuring Safety and Compliance
Professional decorators are trained to install decorations safely, ensuring compliance with health and safety regulations. This expertise minimizes risks associated with electrical installations, fire hazards, and structural stability. By entrusting decorations to professionals, businesses can focus on operations without worrying about potential hazards.
6. Maximizing Return on Investment
There is no sugar coating it, professional holiday decoration can be quite an upfront investment if you’ve got a huge area to decorate; the returns can be equally substantial, though. The benefits are:
- Increased footfall
