Why business owners should put up outdoor commercial Christmas decorations

The holiday season is marked by joyful music, tasty foods, and festive decoration displays. You may be familiar with putting up Christmas decorations inside and outside your home. Businesses can participate in the fun of Christmas decor, too. In fact, they should.

Outdoor commercial Christmas decorations can level up any business during Christmas time. Putting up Christmas décor is a great way to cultivate community connectivity. Christmas lights are welcoming to the local community during the holiday season. Many businesses experience an increase in sales during the Christmas season. Investing in some great outdoor Christmas decorations can increase your sales even more by drawing interest in your store. 

Choosing commercial Christmas decorations

Commercial décor is not the same as residential Christmas décor. There is an entire industry dedicated to outdoor commercial Christmas decorations. If you want to upgrade your business this Christmas season by purchasing outdoor Christmas decorations, there are tons of options.

Roofline décor

Roofline decor may be the most classic type of Christmas decor. You could go with the classic string lights. However, there are so many more types of roofline decor. You could go with snowflake lights, garland lights, candy canes, presents, and icicles.

Pro tip! Roughly measure your roofline to make sure you get the right amount of roof décor. Decorating a business isn’t always the same as decorating a house. You might need more than you think. Knowing the right amount of roof décor to get can save you time and money.

Wreaths, trees, and garlands

There’s nothing quite as festive as Christmas greenery. Strung on doors, windows, roofs, and walkways, it can add the perfect touch to your outdoor Christmas decor. The best are the ones with lights inside. It’s a sight to see during the day and night.

Christmas wouldn’t be complete without a Christmas tree. Consider getting a sturdy tree and decorating it in front of your business. Some fake Christmas trees come with lights and décor already strung through them. All you have to do is set it up. 

Commercial grade Christmas displays

Christmas décor can be much more than greenery and roof lights. Commercial grade Christmas displays are made just for businesses to bring the Christmas spirit to their exterior. Christmas displays are usually light displays that can take on many shapes. For example, you might want a nativity scene display, a gift box display, or the words “Merry Christmas” in shining lights.

Commercial 3D displays

3D displays are Christmas displays taken to the next level. Of course, a Christmas tree counts as a 3D display, but there’s so much more out there too. Often 3D displays include life-size figurines of Christmas characters like Santa, reindeer, nutcrackers, and more. A 3D display will make your business come to life during Christmas time.

Commercial Christmas Projections

A newer outdoor Christmas décor trend is projectors! Set up a projector outside of your building and display all kinds of lights and images. Projections can be stationary or can even move. This can be a great addition to your Christmas décor because it is minimal effort and makes a big impact. You can even use a projection to promote your business with a fun holiday-themed ad projection.

Christmas music

Christmas music can be a great touch. It can enhance any outdoor commercial Christmas display. With some advanced systems, you can even sync music to your lights. Just be sure that your neighbors are on board.

How to create a magical Christmas display

Follow these tips for a successful Christmas display. Ask for help if you need it and stay safe while decorating your business for Christmas.

Stick to a theme

You don’t want to overdo it or underdo it. Both are common in the holiday decoration space. We’ve all seen the house with every square inch covered in mismatched Christmas decor. And probably even more common, you’ve seen the house with one measly string of lights across the first-floor roof. Nothing is wrong with that, but those who strike just the right balance attract the most attention.

Having a theme and a game plan to stick to will help you create a tasteful eye-catching display. For example, you might make your business North Pole-themed, Nutcracker-themed, or all blue and white themed.

Choose location carefully

Location is important when putting up your outdoor commercial Christmas decorations.

Think of all the angles at which your building is seen. Look at what you have, what space you need to fill, and what you need to get. Drawing a map is a helpful tool when designing your Christmas display.

Coordinate with neighbors

Some of the most stunning Christmas displays are collaborative. Many neighborhoods do it, and so can businesses. Pitch in on a killer design that involves several neighbors for a cohesive and festive look.

Use the right supporting equipment

There are tons of tools that will make decorating your business much easier and safer. Here are a few must-have outdoor Christmas decor tools:

• Light timer and master switch
• Light-hanging pole
• All-purpose light clips
• Sturdy ladder

Go energy-efficient

Energy-efficient décor is good for your budget and the environment. We recommend going with LED lighting for longevity and lighting quality. Put your lights and any other electronic elements on a timer for nighttime so that you aren’t wasting energy during the daytime when it can’t be seen.

Consider hiring a professional

Setting up a Christmas lighting display can be a lot of work. Sometimes it’s best to let the professionals handle it. Your time may be used better elsewhere in your business. If you are inexperienced with Christmas lighting installation, call the experts at Blitzen Lighting.
