“Green Retailing” is all the rage in the marketing world and nothing says
“green” like a tree. Trees mean clean air and water, lower energy bills and
higher property values, all in one convenient package. And trees mean “green” in
more ways than one. Studies have found that tree-lined retail districts
encourage more frequent visits, more time spent shopping and more spending by
consumers (Journal of
Forestry, 2005). MillionTreesNYC can help merchants harness the power of
trees to improve the look and appeal of their stores and shopping districts.
Growing Together
Trees in commercial settings are attractive to shoppers.
Flowers are beautiful additions to a tree bed that can distinguish your
store or business district and enhance the shopping experience.
Planting trees is a clear, green message to your customers, many of whom
are drawn to businesses that give back to their community and are
environmentally responsible.
Caring for trees taps into the public’s growing commitment to
sustainability and the environment.
Play a leading role in supporting the health and vitality of your trees.
Schedule a comprehensive “green block” consultation for your business
improvement district or merchants association by emailing stewards@milliontreesnyc.org.
