A lot of people get to the end of the year and feel cash strapped. One great way to get in the holiday spirit, and earn some extra money, is to rent a local lot and fill it with the wholesale Christmas trees New Jersey farmers grow. This is a popular idea, but not everyone makes a success of it. If you plan ahead and take some advice from the pros, your lot could be the most popular place to buy a tree this season.

You start to see lots springing up the day after Thanksgiving, but that can be too early. Sometimes the plants they have bought peak before the holidays and dry out. If you wait until the first few days of December, you can advertise that you have the freshest trees in the area. You will save money on labor as well.

In order to get your lot noticed and buyers onto it, you need to be open during the hours when most people are looking and have plenty of lights on so they can see what you have to offer. Fencing with holiday decorations, signs and plenty of lights can make your lot stand out from the others. You will have to open early and stay late on the weekends.

You should give some thought to how you display your plants. Row after row may not be as effective as grouping the various varieties together so customers can easily find the plants they prefer. There should be enough space between the individual plants for people to walk around them, measure, and get an idea of the one they want.

Your first year you will have to make an investment in supplies. You'll need a good little chainsaw to cut trunks. Loppers, saws, and pruning shears for small branches will be necessary. Smaller supplies like rope, tape, cord, twine, pens, and paper should be kept handy as well.

You can make your lot stand out by offering promotions, decorations, and special services. You might offer a number of free plants to local charities and community centers as giveaways for those who can't afford to buy their own tree. Services like installing a tree in a stand, free delivery to shut ins, free pick up after the holidays, and fireproofing are good will gestures people don't forget.

The day after Christmas, you need to start tearing your lot down and putting it back in its original condition. If you do a good job, the owner will probably be glad to rent to you again next year. Make sure the rent is paid per your contract and that all your workers are paid. Bonuses after a successful year are a nice idea, and good business too.

Opening a lot for the holidays isn't cheap, but it can be a good way to earn some extra cash, if you think ahead. Smart marketing, a quality product, and special touches will make your business stand out. You can always improve on what you learned the first year.
