Brightening up outside spaces is good for business

With the good weather on its way, now is the time for businesses to invest in decorative lighting to spice up baron spaces, according to one of the UK’s leading lighting solutions retailers. BLT Direct specialise in light bulbs, lamps and tubes for use both indoor and outdoor use, and are advising businesses, such as eateries and pubs to look at improving their curb appeal in order to entice customers in.

Signalling a turn in fortune for the struggling hospitality industry, businesses must make sure they invest wisely in order to compete in the competitive marketplace.

Steven Ellwood, Managing Director of BLT Direct said, “Adding complimentary lights is a cost effective way of transforming spaces – particularly outside areas – into attractive spaces that will entice people to businesses this summer. With the warmer weather on its way, people will be looking at places to eat and drink out, so by making businesses look the best they can possibly be, owners will ensure that their businesses stands out from the crowd.”
