The Value of Holiday Decorations

Holiday decorations are more than just a way to make your company look festive. They are also a way to showcase your company’s branding and boost happiness in the office! Holiday decorations can have a positive impact on your employees’ mood and productivity - while attracting new customers at the same time.

While most people associate traditional colors with holiday decorations, the truth is they are available in a rainbow of colors. With all of the colors available today, it’s easier than ever to find decorations that can match your company’s branding color palette.

According to Forbes.com branding is a vital part of business. Businesses with bright attractive colors are more memorable than those that use neutral, toned-down colors. Keeping that in mind, imagine the impression a lobby decorated for the holidays with the company’s color palette could leave on a potential new customer!

Decorating for the holidays can not only help bring in new business but can also benefit your employees. “Happy employees lead to better customer service and better customer service leads to a more effective holiday season,” says Mercy Mungai in her LinkedIn article.

Studies have shown that looking at bright colors and lights can stimulate the production of dopamine, a neurotransmitter that makes you feel good. Holiday decorations can also trigger happy memories and associations with the season.
Holiday decorations are a way to celebrate the season, showcase your company’s branding and connect with others. Don’t hesitate to decorate your space for the holidays, and enjoy the benefits!

The Student-Plant Connection

The Benefits of Plants in Schools

The beginning of the school year is just around the corner for many students in the US. As summer ends, many schools have decided to incorporate plants into classrooms for the upcoming year.

 

Like office plants, having plants in the classroom can offer several benefits to students and educators. Studies have shown that indoor plants can help with improving concentration and can also reduce stress. According to Green Plants For Green Buildings, "Nature may promote learning by improving learners’ attention, levels of stress, self-discipline, interest and enjoyment in learning, and physical activity and fitness." When students’ stress levels are lower, they can be more productive which can lead to better grades.

 

The Student-Plant connection is not only limited to the grade school environment. On college and university campuses, an increasing number of plants and trees are being planted to create outdoor green spaces for students to enjoy. The aesthetically pleasing spaces are meant to help students and professors unwind from the stresses of college life.

Tree-lined sidewalks and communal greens provide shade for students while they study or exercise. They also act as spaces for people to socialize with each other. Physical activity and socializing are proven ways to improve your mood and mental health.

 

Since 2008, The Arbor Day Foundation and Toyota have been recognizing colleges and universities who have gone above and beyond with planting trees on their campuses. This year, the University of Alabama was named “Tree Campus USA” for the 7th consecutive year. The University has more than 12,000 trees on the campus. That comes out to almost three trees per student!

For more information about adding plants to your school or campus, please contact us at 800-562-3672 or info@parkerplants.com.
