More demand for live trees, says Kooyman

Live, fresh-cut Christmas trees have become the preferred option for Barbadians looking to add that special touch to their homes for the holidays.

Speaking ahead of the Annual Kooyman Holiday Wonderland event at the Megastore on Saturday, Marketing Officer Charlene Mullin says they anticipate heightened demand in 2024.

She said: “We anticipate an even more spectacular Kooyman Holiday Wonderland this year as we officially launch Christmas at Kooyman. Customers in recent years have been clamouring for our premium live trees, and this year, we are prepared for an even more overwhelming response. All customers purchasing live trees will receive a 10 per cent discount voucher to use on our Christmas décor items, and we will have storewide special offers and deals so everyone is invited to come celebrate with us.”

Mullin said that in addition to emphasising Kooyman’s support for entrepreneurship and community, Holiday Wonderland brings a festive family atmosphere where the children can meet Santa, take festive photos, and enjoy face painting, balloon art, and clown entertainment.

“This year, we are featuring several activities emphasising our commitment to the community. We’ve had a fantastic response to our offer of free space for entrepreneur pop-ups, and we are looking forward to our holiday-focused adult workshops designed to inspire creativity and help participants add that festive cheer to their homes,” she said.
Kooyman is partnering with the Team Mikey Charity this year to host a holiday donation drive supporting various community initiatives.

“Kooyman is pleased to work with Team Mike Charity in keeping with our pillars of sustainability, poverty reduction, and youth and education,” she said. “Throughout the year, we have continued to make donations and build partnerships in this regard, and this Christmas will be no exception as we continue to play our part.” (PR)
