Liven Up Your Lighting with Lanterns


Lanterns have a variety of uses both inside or outside of the home. They can also be the centerpiece of choice for a variety of events and activities. They also have the versatility to be both decorative and functional. We offer a wide selection of lanterns in various styles and sizes, and some of them are even outdoor safe. Many of our lanterns are designed without a light inside to let the shopper provide their own lighting source, whether candles or LED string lights.

Decorative Indoor Use


As wedding season begins, lanterns are a major component for centerpieces for chic brides and grooms for bridal showers or the big day. Lantern centerpiece ideas found on Pinterest range from wrapping them in burlap to surrounding them with flowers, allowing them to suit any theme to create an elegant atmosphere. For a southern or rustic theme, Evergreen Enterprises has a selection of mason jar lanterns for weddings, beach-house, and summer decor.

For coastal regions or beach themes, we have solar coastal teal blue, turquoise, and seashell lanterns (seen at right) that ship to retailers in a convenient 12-piece display unit.

Lanterns are also iconic decorative symbols for homes during religious ceremonies or celebrations for Christians, Jews, Muslims, Buddhists, and more. For example during the month of Ramadan, Muslims will decorate their homes with lanterns.

5 Ways to Create a Cozy Store Environment


Just because the weather turns cold and snowflakes appear doesn't mean that your store environment shouldn't be warm and comfortable throughout the winter. In recent years, the Danish custom of hygge has grown into a popular home decor trend, thanks in part to the power of social media. The concept is simple: take pleasure in the simple things by creating a warm, cozy place that is designed to connect people, as well as provide comfort.

Retailers can use this concept in their stores to invite customers in and create an atmosphere that will make them want to stay—and return! The techniques can be used across a variety of stores: from coffee shops to bookstores, from hospital gift shops to hardware stores.

1. Set up seating near doors or dressing rooms
A simple chair or an outdoor bench welcomes customers to relax and take a short break from their shopping excursions. As the weather gets cold, it would be a kindness to move the furniture indoors so that they can keep warm. An added extra touch could be including a pillow and throw or blanket to set the scene.


Pro tip: Setup our wood and metal folding ladder or a few baskets near the seating to feature throws and pillows to sell. 

2. Immerse the senses
The more senses that you invite your customers to use, the more connected they feel to not only the items they purchase, but your store. (Tru Vue)

Red Glitter LED Candle with Remote
Sight
Lighting is an essential part of a cozy environment. The natural, soft glow of sunlight offers a more relaxing place; think about vacation spots, most do offer an abundance of sunlight. Take away the posters on the windows and let in the light. As the sun goes down, turn on LED candles (for safety reasons) and allow the glow to soothe the soul.

Make sure your products are easy to see and that there aren't any dark areas in your store.

Sound
While most stores will pipe in the non-stop Christmas and Holiday music, studies show that if you select pieces of music with a slow tempo it influences customers to walk slowly through stores and thus, they end up buying more. (ThinkGrowth.org)

Touch
Allow your customers to hold and touch items they are interested in. We've found that in certain products, such as our flags, door decor, apparel, and fashion accessories, if a retailer takes the item out of the package - sales will increase. Therefore, we've designed our new packaging with touch in mind.

Keep the store temperature warm during cold weather, as research shows that customers who feel warm are prepared to pay more for goods than customers exposed to the cold. (Weatherads.io)


 Pro Tip: Place a basket of plush toys near registers for children to touch. 

Smell
There can be regional differences in which scents are comforting, but for the holiday season - the smell of freshly baked cookies or spices like cinnamon are the most common for in-store use. You can combine the senses of smell and taste by selling food goods during the holiday season.

Taste
You can help elevate one of the main reasons why customers leave the shopping experience by offering food to satiate hunger. This has the added bonus of allowing your customers to indulge in "comfort foods". You can choose to go about this in several different ways: offer freshly baked goods in a sample dish, supply a simple cup of coffee, sell chocolate by the registers, setup a water fountain or water cooler, or even work with a popular food truck service to bring in new customers.


Pro Tip: Setup a display of giftable drinkware by water fountains and coffee pots.

3. Go Natural
Bring the outdoors inside! Greenery is connects to nature and the outdoors, all while you and your customers remain warm inside. Decorate with wreaths, florals, or even planters filled with low maintenance succulents.

4. Comfortable Clothing
Encourage your teams to dress warmly, yet professionally. Cozy up with capes and shawls. Dress-up a simple sweater with a scarf. Need ideas: Shop our selection of winter apparel and accessories.

5. Savor the Moments
As the stores fill up with customers and workload increases, take the time to unplug from the digital world to embrace all of the successes throughout the year. Thank your employees, teams, and coworkers for their loyalty.

Simply taking a few moments conversing with your customers will not only put a smile on their faces, but it will also put a smile on yours.


At Evergreen Enterprises, the concept of family includes our retailers, customers, and teams. We take the opportunity to thank you for your support throughout our 25 years.

A Taste of Cape Craftsmen Trend Collections






With our Cape Craftsmen line of furniture, lighting, décor and more, we have everything you need to create a striking high-end look with unique pieces that coordinate in striking and subtle ways. We coordinate items within different thoughtfully curated trend collections that represent a variety of aesthetics.

At Ease Traditional

At Ease Traditional is an extension of the Modern Loft trend. It combines an industrial or urban architectural style with a bit of farmhouse décor to create a comfortable look full of neutral tones that can be just as much "down-home" as "up-town." This collection features multi-functional furniture such as our impressive wooden hutch and serving cart. We also highlight galvanized metal, often paired with natural or distressed wood. For fans of the recycled and repurposed approach, the new word is "rescue." We include items in this collection with irregular and uneven surfaces that have a worn or aged look. You see this in some of our unique wall pieces, like our wood-framed chalk board and our 19-inch metal and wood clock.

Oasis & Glamping

Our Oasis and Glamping collections capture a blend of indoors and outdoors. Oasis is all about creating a natural space in your home and is inspired by an emphasis on health and wellness, while Glamping is the new craze in camping where you dress up your campsite with home decor elements. On the Oasis side of things, we have some great colorful pieces, like our set of 2 metal and wood wall decor and our new flamingo lamp.

When it comes to Glamping, we have several pieces that take their cues from outdoor adventures. Our new corkboard has a fun printed map design, and includes pushpins to let you record your own travels. And our new folding chair can fit with multiple outdoor styles. It has a metal frame, the back and seats are covered in real leather, and the arms are made of teak wood. It’s easy to fold up for storage or to take to your next glamping site!

Waterside Naturals & Coastal Shimmer

This two-part collection goes from a blend of comfort and style, with a mix of whites and neutrals, to a contrasting combination of rainbow metallics and shimmering shells. Our white metal furniture helps anchor (no pun intended!) the Waterside look. Pieces like the nautical bench we combine perfectly with our colorful, 30-by-30-inch Rain Drops outdoor wall canvas. The Waterside collection also includes wood accent pieces that are hand-carved by artisans in India. In Coastal Shimmer, you'll see a lot of gold-toned metallics, like our starfish lamp which is 24 inches high, and our seashell and starfish wall art.



Floral Boho

Our Floral collection, From Boho to Watercolor, is filled with the beauty and drama of rich floral hues. We have a wide selection of new outdoor wall art in this group, from our 30-by-30 inch outdoor-safe canvas art, to our selection of hummingbird metal wall art that all capture the natural beauty and tones of birds and flowers in that flowing watercolor style. We also mixed in some of our fabric-wrapped functional metal wall art to complete the look.






…And we’re barely scratching the surface. There’s so much more to find within our curated trend collections and we would highly recommend browsing our Cape Craftsmen catalog to discover more!

Here at Evergreen Garden, we’re setting the stage for what’s sure to be more to come in the area of outdoor living and here are some highlights from the season that you don't want to miss.

We’ve worked hard to capture the strongest upcoming visual trends for 2015. Vibrant yet calming tones of blues and greens are sustaining their popularity, and you’ll see them incorporated in our hand-blown garden stakes and our glass birdbaths. Our beautiful glass pieces add a little color and whimsy to any garden or backyard.

Another trend that is gaining popularity is Metallics. We offer this look across categories like Kinetics, as well as topiaries, garden stakes and firepots. Playfully bright colors and patterns have become an Evergreen staple, and we bring this palette to life with our solar color-changing lanterns and stakes.

In previous seasons, we’ve shown how you can bring the outdoors in. The growing popularity of outdoor living spaces is recently driving an interest in taking interior comforts outside. We provide you with opportunities to capitalize on this lifestyle trend with products like our ceramic stools and indoor/outdoor pillows. You can pair these with our traditional and functional garden pieces like bird feeders and birdhouses.
