5 Fun Christmas Tree Decorating Themes For Businesses
Many small businesses display Christmas trees in their offices or storefronts during the holiday season
. For retail businesses, it's a good way to get customers in the holiday shopping mood. For offices, it adds a touch of festive Christmas spirit for the office personnel. In any case, if you own or work in a business that displays a tree, and you're stuck in a decorating rut with the same old ornaments and tinsel year after year, now is the perfect time to spice things up with a fun and unique Christmas tree decorating theme that is tailored to your business. We've got five fun ideas to get you started.1. Retail Stores
For most retail stores, coming up with a Christmas tree decorating theme is easy; just use the products you sell as your inspiration. For example, an office supply store could use pencils, calculators, erasers, and small notepads as decorations. A health or beauty supply store could use combs, tooth brushes, empty medicine bottles, and cotton swabs. Shoe stores could use shoe laces, shoe inserts, shoe horns, and even a few children's shoes to decorate a tree. Just remember to start with the items around you, and you can't go wrong.
2. Restaurants
Just as with a retail store, restaurants should think about the type of product they sell. For example, a Chinese restaurant could decorate a Christmas tree with fortune cookies, chopsticks, and Asian memorabilia. Italian restaurants could have fun with dried pasta, empty wine bottles, and small Italian flags. Even a local restaurant with no particular theme for their food could still decorate a Christmas tree with local memorabilia that residents of their town would appreciate.
3. Movie Theaters
Christmas trees in movie theaters are among the easiest to decorate. Decorations can include empty popcorn containers, soda cups, and candy boxes. Movie ticket stubs, 3D glasses, and old movie reels also make fun decorating items. If your movie theater sells gift certificates, use some voided gift certificates on the tree as additional decorations. This is a great way to let patrons know that you offer gift certificates they can purchase as gifts for friends and family.
4. Hair Salons or Barbershops
Obvious decorations for a hair salon or barbershop include anything hair-related. Use combs and hairbrushes, velcro rollers or perm curlers, and empty sample-sized bottles of shampoo or hairspray. Other possible decorations might include hair clips and pins, scissors, and hair ribbons.
5. Dentist's or Doctor's Offices
Medical offices are a great place to display a Christmas tree, particularly if children are among your clientele, because it can help set them at ease about their visit. Fun decorating items for a dentist would include toothbrushes, dental floss, and small tubes of toothpaste. For a doctor's office, consider toy stethoscopes, Ace bandages and wraps, thermometers, and lollipops or other treats offered to patients.
If your business or workplace doesn't fall into any of these categories, just create your own Christmas tree decorating theme tailored to your company. An easy place to start is by using up some company memorabilia. Over the years, many businesses accumulate items such as pens, notepads, letter openers, hats, and other small items featuring the company logo. Round up these items and use them to decorate the tree, and then finish off with ornaments in the same colors as your company logo.
No matter what business you're in, there is a way to customize a Christmas tree that will be unique and reflective of what you do. Just remember to have fun, use your imagination, and above all, make it a company project in which employees can participate and contribute. This is a great way to improve employee morale and get everyone into the holiday spirit!
