Vacation at Home: Staycation

Recently on the Today show the topic of Staycations was promoted once again and showed how a family can enjoy their backyard. My ears perked up when they were describing the comforts of home inside a camping tent, which included throw pillows. My love of accessories and throw pillows in particular caused me to stop what I was doing and pay more attention to the segment on staycations.

This subject is becoming increasingly popular with the HIGH Rising price of gas and the troublesome economy. But staying at home does not need to be a negative connotation for the casual furniture retailer or for the homeowner, in fact this is an opportunity!  As dealers you may need to be creative in your displays, promotions or advertisements but certainly this is a great idea for you to consider and as homeowners you need to consider how you want to spend time while you vacation at home.

Instead of promoting a camping tent in the backyard, consider camping out under the stars on a Double Chaise with a warm, soft cuddly weather resistant throw blanket.
and some throw pillows for comfort in lieu of a bed pillow. The best part of utilizing these items for sleeping under the stars is that they are a wonderful addition to the backyard and can be enjoyed in daylight, twilight or sundown.

Warm up with hot chocolate and smores, a throw blanket and throw pillow. Encourage the use of outdoor furniture in new ways that you and your customer can enjoy at all times of the day and night.

Encourage Staycations, everyone else is so why not you?
