What Are The Benefits Of Commercial Christmas Trees

When the holidays roll around, businesses, government agencies, and non-profits alike look for ways to communicate holiday cheer, and commercial Christmas trees fit the bill year after year.Commercial variations come with a host of benefits unique to their design and are built to last.

What’s So Special About Commercial Christmas Trees?

A commercial tree is a premium or heavy duty artificial evergreen. Where this variety differs from other types of artificial evergreens is that these models meet the needs and demands of commercial settings and decorations. Quality commercial Christmas trees are designed and manufactured to go above and beyond everyday varieties, and they’re the ideal choice for any organization that desires a striking centerpiece for the Christmas season.

• Weather-Ready
  Whether it’s an ice storm or an intense rain, commercial Christmas trees are more than prepared to handle outdoor conditions during the coldest, wettest, and darkest time of the year. Unlike their non-commercial counterparts, these premium artificial evergreens are engineered to withstand winter’s extreme weather conditions. Used indoors or outdoors, they bring holiday cheer even when the weather is at its most unpleasant.

• Massive Sizes
  Quality artificial evergreens manufactured for outdoor display are also available in larger sizes. Consider some of the largest Christmas tree displays, whether by town halls or on top of department store skyscrapers. Standing in town halls, shopping centers or seen at neighborhood entryways, the best artificial evergreens are landmarks wherever they stand.

• Memorable Attention Anchors
  A beautiful evergreen isn’t soon forgotten because it makes a big impression anywhere it is featured. Customers and those passing by enjoy the sight of a well-crafted and beautifully-decorated tree during the holiday season. The tree can be the centerpiece of any display and be the anchor for additional decorations. 

• Utility and Sentiment
  Although the word commercial is in the name, commercial Christmas trees aren’t just for government institutions, schools, and other organizations. Whether placed in a spacious foyer or in a beautifully decorated yard, this decoration communicates one’s love for the Christmas season and can provide a landmark that can’t be missed.

• Other Benefits and Features
  Many artificial evergreens offer a variety of additional benefits. For example, using models with built-in lights mean that lighting is perfect every single time and doesn’t need to be adjusted. Heavy-duty frames and high quality artificial boughs and branches make construction a straightforward and simple process, and commercial-grade trees are built to last.

Considering Specifications and Variations

While one can make a variety of general statements about artificial evergreens intended for commercial purposes, it’s important to pay attention to the fine print on each model. Not every artificial tree offers the same benefits.

• Take Measurements
  Commercial Christmas trees can vary greatly from one another. One of the most important factors to consider is the size. Standard commercial varieties range from 12 to 80 feet tall, and vary in their circumference as well. When taking measurements, be sure to consider the width as well as the height of the available space. 

• Consider Weight and Size Adjustments
  Some trees can handle more weight than others. For example, the Giant Everest model (ranging from 20 to 41 feet tall) can handle heavier ornaments, whereas the limbs of other artificial evergreens may not be as accommodating to weighty decorations. Again, this is where checking model specifications can make all the difference.

  Certain models allow for size adjustments. The aforementioned Giant Everest is one such model, allowing for the expansion of the tree by three feet at a time. Expansion pieces are easily connected to the model.

• Note Lighting Options
  Specific models—such as the Giant Everest—ship with integrated lighting but others do not, such as the Grand Teton. Lighting choices come down to personal preference. Some prefer integrated lighting to reduce decorating time. Trees with integrated lighting are perfectly lit every time. Certain pre-lighted models allow for a choice between multicolored effects and white lights. Pre-lit models are available in a variety of lighting types, such as the familiar soft glow of traditional bulbs or the highly-efficient LED models.

Care, Storage, and Other Considerations

One of the best aspects of owning quality commercial Christmas trees is how little care they require, especially when compared to live trees. There’s no need to water artificial trees and there’s no need to clean up needles and sap. Best of all, as mentioned above, artificial evergreens can be used year after year, making the investment rather worthwhile.

• Practice Proper Storage
  To properly care for the investment and keep the tree’s beautiful shape year after year, artificial evergreens must be properly stored when not in use. They should be placed in tree storage bags during the off season. Storage bags come in a wide variety of types. Clear poly vinyl Christmas tree storage bags cover evergreens up to nine feet tall. The Barcana Christmas Tree Storage Bag is another great option. These storage bags can handle trees up to seven and a half feet tall and two bags can be used together to store trees ranging from eight to ten feet tall. For taller trees, several bags will likely be needed. 

• Outdoor Power Supplies
  Home and business owners must make particular power supply considerations for artificial evergreens intended for outdoor use. From cables to cable extensions, be sure that every aspect of the power supply system is explicitly intended for outdoor use. While enjoying the time-honored tradition of Yuletide decorating, it’s important to consider safety as well.

Whether commercial Christmas trees are needed for a department store, a town hall or a large corporation, they are the perfect way to usher in the holiday season.
