Holiday lighting has become a phenomenon with homeowners, businesses and entertainment venues across the nation. But many property managers still fail to realize the immeasurable benefits of holiday lighting for commercial properties. Here are some reasons why decorating for the holidays is a wise choice.
The overall landscape and hardscape of your commercial property typically remains unchanged throughout the calendar year. However, once the Thanksgiving feast concludes, property managers are given an opportunity to capture community-wide attention with their own holiday lighting display.
This disruption to the everyday norm is your chance to positively focus public attention on your commercial location. This attention not only supports your tenant’s seasonal desire to attract more foot traffic, improve visibility and create a memorable experience for guests, it also lets them know how much you value the partnership, by providing a unique energy to your location during the holiday season.
Holiday lighting is like installing additional signage on your property, without the hassle of permits and ordinances to abide by. Holiday lighting will instantly provide your location with the advantage. It also allows you control of the overall design, rather than individual businesses and organizations adorning their windows with mix-matched lighting lacking consistency.
This is the one time of year when you can brighten up the exterior of your building to the delight of tenants, patrons and passerby’s throughout the community. Don’t let yourself be known as the only dark property on the block.
The spirit of the holidays is celebrated in countless ways throughout communities across the nation – most notably signified by the holiday lights and decorations on homes and businesses.
Beyond simply increasing the morale of employees on staff, it solidifies the perception that you’re not just another “scrooge” in the community – caring only about profits, and little about the community in which you reside.
Patrons to your building, as well as owners, tenants and local officials, will immediately notice and appreciate the effort. What better, simpler way to gain a stronger sense of loyalty from not only customers and patrons, but from tenants as well.
Budgeting for holiday lighting speaks directly to the success of your business.
While not every business can afford to decorate their property like Denver Botanic Gardens, a great holiday lighting design is only limited by your creative imagination. Hiring a professional designer will certainly help to create a magical display worthy of your prominence in the community.
When it’s time to think about holiday lighting, many property managers will turn to their maintenance staff to deck-the-halls of their location. But designing a professional holiday lighting display requires more skill and artistry than just hanging lights on a hook.
