The same goes for indoor and outdoor
rugs which are a specialty for Trans-Ocean. “The rugs,” says Dean Smith at Trans-Ocean, “are UV-stabilized to reduce fading and can
be cleaned with water, essential components for outdoor use.” Smith encourages buyers to talk to vendors about display options so consumers easily visualize the product in their home space.
The Sky’s the Limit
The reimagined Outdoor Living collection includes an assortment of nature, garden and birding vendors to shop and also includes a higher-end, more design-focused LUXE section for buyers who want to kick their offerings up a level.
And while gardens bring seasonality to mind, the temps offer gifts for enthusiasts who will appreciate a piece of the outdoors all year round. “From big statement pieces such as a massive fire pit to an urban lifestyle that can only accommodate accessories
for a balcony; from commercial uses to residential ones, this new take on the outdoors is more than just about space— it’s about accessories complementing a lifestyle,” Harbin says. Your customers love the outdoors and you have room to make this category pay rich dividends. The sky really is the limit. ■
