Balsam Hill Partners with Nordstrom to Create In-Store Artificial Christmas Tree Lots

REDWOOD CITY, Calif., Oct. 13, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Balsam Hill, renowned for its meticulously designed, lifelike, artificial Christmas Trees, partners with fashion specialty retailer Nordstrom this holiday season to create winter wonderland Christmas tree lots in 21 Nordstrom stores in 13 states.  A first-time partnership for both companies, this venture is also the first time Balsam Hill has offered trees through a brick and mortar retail partner and the first time Nordstrom has sold a full Christmas trees assortment. The displays unveil October 8-15, depending on location, and will be open throughout the holiday season.

Nordstrom Stores in New York City, Mall of America in Minnesota, California's South Coast Plaza and 19 other locations will showcase up to 20 different Balsam Hill trees including the new Fraser Fir, the most realistic artificial tree yet.  The companies hope to inspire Nordstrom shoppers to delight in the holiday spirit by inspecting the trees, perusing a variety of lighting options, and asking questions of knowledgeable sales associates so they can order trees for free home delivery. Virtual and in-store tree events will be offered throughout the holiday season and will be shared through social media.

"This is the perfect partnership because our companies' commitment to our customers and focus on high quality merchandise is very similar," said Claire Magat, Chief People Officer and Head of Growth, Balsam Hill. "Christmas tree lovers across the country now have an opportunity to see our wide variety of realistic trees in person."

The Tree Lot will showcase how Balsam Hill trees mimic nature's colors with different shades of green depending on the species. For instance, Balsam Hill's Blue Spruce features blue-green needles while the Fraser Fir is multi-toned with dark green needle tips and silver undersides. The Vermont White Spruce features upward-sloping branches while the Norway Spruce presents a layered European look. 

Featured trees come in a variety of shapes and sizes to reflect the shopper's personal style and brighten cozy apartments or grand ballrooms. Tree buyers can choose from pre-set lighting options or create customized effects.
