Help Consumers Make the Most of The Warm Weather with Outdoor Entertaining!
After the serious bout of spring showers, Americans everywhere are chomping at the bit to get outside and celebrate finally getting some summery weather. Help your customers make the most of their own rays of sunshine by featuring a host of outdoor living and entertaining ideas that are sure to make even one sunny day festive and memorable.
Outdoor living spaces aren’t just about fun, they can actually add value to a home. This is something that is important to home owners, and most are willing to invest in a quality outdoor space that will provide good times for friends and family, as well as add resale value. So what makes a great outdoor entertaining space? A good outdoor party needs three things: music, food and atmosphere. Provide customers with options for all three of these things and they will be perfectly prepared for a flawless outdoor bash!
Outdoor sound systems are ranked in the top 10 most important outdoor features, according to the American Society of Landscape Architects, and it’s easy for consumers to set up stellar sound in their backyard—without encroaching on the natural setting. Speakers that are camouflaged to look like rocks blend seamlessly into the landscaping. For audio buffs, water-resistant amps and subwoofers give the entire space bass-thumping quality sound. Specialty outdoor cables and controls make it easy to have a fully functional, full-range sound system, even in the backyard and around the pool.
Any great party obviously needs food and refreshments. It isn’t a backyard party without a grill! And it’s not just because it’s fun and a novelty, eating outdoors can actually have physical health benefits, such as Vitamin D absorption and mood boosting properties. Help your customers create outdoor feasts that will feed an army with grilling accessories such as fish cookers, or a rib rack for making delicious barbecue. For sides and snacks, such as chips and dips, a rollaway cart can provide both colorful decoration and the functionality of a sideboard. To keep drinks icy cold in the summer heat, a quality cooler is a must—and it’s a great way to celebrate a local or favorite sports team! With these few key items, customers can easily make and serve a meal to guests, or simply enjoy healthy eating and drinking in their beautiful outdoor space.
If there is one thing that can make spending time outdoors miserable, it’s mosquitos. Items like a vibrating animal chaser or a mosquito trap will help consumers ensure that their landscaping goes undisturbed and that guests are not on the menu for backyard bugs. Once the pests are taken care of, adding ambience to the area can liven up a party or simply make a night at home on the patio cozier. Solar garden lights and torches illuminate an outdoor area with an atmosphere that allows the party to continue into the night. For a table or cart, LED candles can add a softer, homier aura, making a backyard gathering look as stylish as the fanciest of dinner parties.
Whether it’s a family dinner on the patio or a full-blown block party, helping your customers create the perfect outdoor living space will make their summer entertaining the best it can be!
