How do I commission Christmas retail display lights?
01 – Brief us
Share your initial ideas with us, however simple or developed. We can discuss things such as how many lights are required for your Christmas project, what you’re trying to achieve with the Christmas campaign, whether the lights will be inside a Christmas retail display or in a Christmas window. All of these elements will help us propose ideas to create jaw-dropping wow-factor.
02 – The design
We’ll propose some design ideas that meet your brief. Using our expertise in event and retail display lighting, we’ll consider the appropriate brightness of lighting according to its location (eg window or dressing room), whether visibility is required from 360 degrees for a window or 180 degrees for behind a till or on stage. We will also give an idea of cost at this stage.
03 – The options
We can now get into some of the finer details of your Christmas lighting project. Having narrowed down the design and the type of lighting (eg lightboxes, fairground lights or Neon Ultra® [LED neon]) we’ll now focus on some of the detail such as exact dimensions , RGB colour settings and RAL colours for painting.
04 – Confirmation
Once you’re happy with the design and the price, then we’ll start production. We can liaise with other suppliers who are also working on your Christmas events and retail displays in order to keep them up to speed with our anticipated timings.
05 – Delivery
We’ll arrange a suitable time for delivery and can either deliver to a central location or deliver to a number of stores and outlets. We can wrap items loosely for easy install or we can package them up in custom crates to keep them protected. Both options are great value and we’re totally flexible and will do all of the legwork to make sure your Christmas retail display lights are delivered safe and sound.
06 – Installation
Most of our lights for Christmas retail visual merchandising and display projects are delivered for easy install. These include Christmas Lightboxes, Neon Lights for Christmas and Fairground Lights. It also includes neon for Christmas if we pre-mount it. If you would like the neon mounted directly to a wall such as a dressing room or behind a till then it would need specialist installation.
