Is your Commercial Display Indoor or Outdoor?
Where your display goes and whether it will be indoors or outdoors is the essential foundation to your decorating. This choice determines the space for your display, which is a major factor for planning how many decorations your display will feature and how big those decorations will be. Let’s look at either location for commercial Christmas displays and the types of decorations for building your arrangement.
Indoor Areas
An indoor display breathes the festive spirit into your business. In locales with cold weather, the indoors makes a nice and toasty spot for commercial Christmas displays where guests will spend more time exploring and enjoying the interior of your business.
Indoor Commercial Christmas Trees
The centerpiece for all outstanding commercial Christmas displays is the Christmas tree. The Majestic slimline tower tree is a popular choice for creating an impressive indoor display. Slimline trees deliver sensational holiday vibes while conserving precious indoor space to help build the rest of your arrangement.
Hanging Decorations
One of the best parts of choosing indoors for commercial Christmas displays is the ability to dazzle from above. Decorations that hang from the ceiling create a captivating and festive atmosphere. Curtain lights are a great choice for indoor shopping areas. Bring bursts of visual appeal with hanging snowflakes and 3D starbursts.
Fiberglass Furniture Displays
Add in furniture for an interactive element. The Santa chair gives a comfy atmosphere that invites a guest to have a seat, or bring the kids around for when Santa stops by in your shopping area. Want room for two? Consider benches, such as the adorable polar bear bench, or the cute snowman seat. All of our furniture includes fiberglass material that’s perfect for outdoor use as well.
Greenery
Great day for day or night, greenery such as garland, wreaths, and sprays, is classic and provides the perfect canvas for any custom decoration package. Greenery offers appealing, natural-looking accents for indoor commercial Christmas displays. We recommend lit greenery because it adds a festive glow to your space. Unlit greenery is a good option for spaces where you don’t have easy electrical solutions for lights in certain areas. In addition to unlit greenery, you can also try pre-decorated greenery.
Outdoor Areas
The outdoors has more space to go big on commercial Christmas displays. With no ceiling, you can go taller, and with more floorspace, the tree can be wider as well. Moreover, your decorations can be larger and more abundant.
Tower Trees — The Majestic Mountain Pine Tree
Tower trees are great for day or night in a commercial display. They’re the most photographed part of any outdoor Christmas display, and they’re the main part of any holiday celebration.
Looking for the perfect outdoor tree? The Majestic Mountain Pine Tree is a spectacular holiday spectacle that makes an impression like no other! It’s beloved by guests and business owners alike—so much that it’s the best-selling commercial Christmas tree in the USA! Business owners love Majestic Mountain Pine trees in their commercial Christmas displays because they’re easy to assemble, store, and grow.
A favorite event that encourages staff and guests to gather around and kick off the holiday season is the tree lighting ceremony. The ceremony is a memorable way to bring the community together.
Fiberglass Decorations
These decorations add both depth and body to your arrangement, and can consist of a wide variety of decorations. From reindeer to presents around the tree, there are fiberglass displays for every theme. Fiberglass decorations intrigue by introducing characterization to your display, which can be arranged for creating a scene that captures interest. A jolly Santa delivers a holiday greeting; a vigilant nutcracker soldier stands guard; and a funny reindeer begs to be adored.
Fiberglass decorations make commercial Christmas displays fun for the whole family. Photo op attractions, such as the gingerbread figure or snowman and friends, are irresistible for snap happy guests looking for opportunities to savor the moment in your display. With the right attractions, families will make a stop at your display to capture holiday memories that last a lifetime.
Commercial grade fiberglass decorations are nice for indoor decorating, and they’re great for outdoor commercial Christmas displays too— as long as they’re properly treated for weather durability. Our fiberglass decorations are designed with the elements in mind, produced with high strength fiberglass resin infused with randomly oriented polyester strands for maximum strength and durability. We also ensure that our fiberglass decorations stay colorful and vibrant in any arrangement thanks to a high grade UV inhibitor for long-lasting use.
Designer Displays
With the space to go big, consider the most monumental of dimensional displays: our Designer Collection commercial displays. Many of these displays are big enough to walk through and stand inside. They’re also great at night for wrapping your guests in the warm glow of lovely holiday decor. For a display that children will love, consider the holiday train engine that invites kids for an exciting picture. Photo ops such as the train engine, and the fiberglass figures mentioned above, present good branding opportunities if you put your business logo or signage nearby.
Hanging dimensional displays, such as the spiral ornament or classic sky ornament, can also light up the night sky on a spiral tree or from an elevated walkway.
Twinkly RGB Lights
Animated lights with plenty of activity are perfect for outdoor commercial Christmas displays, making any commercial space an exciting place for taking pics with friends and family. Twinkly Pro lights can be customized to fit specific colors and provide exciting animations. Consider Twinkly Pro trees, wreaths, garlands or sprays for a mesmerizing outdoor commercial display.
Outdoor Foliage
Involve your outdoor foliage as part of the display with tree and foliage light wraps. Combine lit foliage with an outdoor display to make the ultimate outdoor commercial Christmas display for your business.
No foliage around your business? No problem. Add wreaths, garlands and sprays to your display area for artificial evergreens that shine all season long. We definitely recommend our lit commercial greenery for the job. Any outdoor decorations needs to be lit to showcase your business at night!
Walkthroughs and Dimensional Displays
Want your commercial Christmas display to have a real wow-factor? Give guests the gift of the unforgettable with larger-than-life walkthroughs and dimensional displays!
Commercial spaces get a lot of foot traffic—so what better way for your guests to walk than through the attractions themselves? Walkthrough ornaments and deer are awe-inspiring additions to an arrangement. You can grab attention with a triumphant reindeer, and bring traffic with a walkthrough LED ornament.
Lit walk through tunnels lead guests through areas of your display, transforming a slice of your real estate into a passage of pure enchantment. Fine-tune your tunnel walkthrough with the lights that best match your entire arrangement: 5mm conicals, RGB lights, C7 lights, or light line and bulbs are all available to fit your theme.
Beautiful Buildings Need LED Lights
Nothing helps a business stand out more during the holidays than an outline of dazzling Christmas lights! Commercial grade LED lights, such as C9s dotted across the roofline, architecture, fencing, etc., accentuate the shape of your commercial property. LED lights also set the stage for a pretty portrait when they reflect off of nearby ponds, fountains, or lakes.
Classic white lights are iconic, but adding a festive red-white combo or other popular color theme can bring excitement and energy to your space.
Does your business area have multiple buildings? Put your guests into a special holiday world under the light of a shining canopy that stretches between buildings. For a favorite twist on canopy lighting, try RGB lighting that “dances” to music.
Theme
The right theme mixed with your branding can take commercial Christmas displays to the next level for imagery and emotions that make an indelible mark. Coordinate colors and match decorations and ornaments to construct a theme that combines everything into holiday harmony.
Try a North Pole Christmas that includes a Santa chair, presents around the tree, and Santa's sleigh for a sense of bountiful Christmas joy. Also consider themes that play with icy aesthetics and blue and silver tones, like our decorated greenery with our Sapphire Sky package.
Indoor and outdoor displays have their own advantages that are shown by the unique decorations they feature, although many decorations and attractions work well in both types of displays. Walkthroughs and dimensional displays bring scale to an arrangement, while LED lights make a business shine, and a theme brings it all together.
