When is the best time to invest in commercial outdoor furniture?

30th May 2024

As summer starts to rear its head we always get a flurry of orders from businesses looking to revamp their outdoor spaces. It makes sense that as the days get warmer, how best to use their patios, gardens and shop fronts become more and more important.

But, is waiting until the sun starts to shine really the best time to invest in commercial outdoor furniture?

Are you guilty of leaving outdoor furniture investments until the last minute?

Above is a graph showing how popular the term ‘outdoor furniture’ has been over the last few years. Notice how there are always peaks during April and May when the days start to get warmer?

It’s natural to push the idea of investing in commercial outdoor furniture to the back of your mind until the sun rolls back around to remind you. As you can see, everyone does it, not just businesses.

However, as a business, you want to always be one step ahead of your customers. If your customers are thinking about outdoor furniture in March and April, you need to have refurbished your outdoor spaces well in advance.

This means that when the time of the year rolls around when customers are thinking about the joys of sitting outside, you’ve already created the perfect space for them.

Could you be missing out on valuable business by not having your outdoor spaces primed and ready to go?

According to a study conducted by Simon’s Advisory Group, providing outdoor dining and seating spaces can help increase business revenue by up to 30%.

If you haven’t created this outdoor space in time for the warmer days of March and April, you could be missing out on valuable business.

This is why we highly recommend you refurbish your outdoor spaces during the autumn and winter months. That way, you can avoid any disruption to your business and ensure you have everything set up and ready to go when that sun starts shining once again.

Is there such a thing as being ‘too late’ to invest in commercial outdoor furniture?

Absolutely not. Although it’s always a good idea to sort outdoor furniture in advance of spring and summer, it can also be a great idea to refresh tired or worn pieces in order to maximise comfort and the look of your business.

Swapping out tables and chairs doesn’t have to be a hassle and Warner Contract Furniture strives to offer a fast and stress-free delivery. This means even in the warmer months, you can continue to offer stunning and comfortable outdoor spaces for your customers and guests.
