Frogs that Read, Play Music, and Workout… in the Garden!

Friday, June 18th, 2010 - Posted by Danial Trotter

If you are truly in search of the most unique outdoor decor, these garden statues from Beautiful Frog are just what you need! Creator, Beau Smith, is a genuine artisan and innovator who specializes in crafting beautiful frogs. These metal sculptures are definitely out of the ordinary, but more so they are quite comical!


Imagine walking through the park and spotting a human sized frog perched on a bench playing the guitar or lifting weights. That is exactly where you can find these contemporary sculptures all around the nation.

These beautiful frog sculptures can be found in not only parks around the nation, but also in libraries, galleries, schools, museums, gardens, and even a gym. In addition to public locations,  these metal sculptures make intriguing outdoor decor in the gardens and patios of  individuals. One grateful customer of Beautiful Frog sent in the following message to express their satisfaction with the iron art.

"…As you can see, they are seated immediately outside our front door to welcome all our guests. Needless to say, they have become quite a conversation piece in our neighborhood and elicit many smiles, from young and old alike.

Thank you again for your wonderful frog sculpture – we will treasure it forever!

The Parkes"

The sculptures have made appearances in several commercials and advertisements. Southern Living Magazine and Cobb Life Magazine both featured articles about the unique statues in 2009.

Interested yet? The artisan tributes the humorous variety of statues to the need for lifting moods and making people smile. A few of the styles previously created are an artist frog, bench frog, book frog, goblet frog, Gold's Gym frog, mushroom frogs, thinker frog, and many more. Many of the Beautiful Frog styles are inspired by musically inclined frogs.


The frogs are hand crafted to remain durable while withstanding the natural outdoor elements. The materials used are copper, brass, and stainless steel, all of which are non-corrosive.

Although these metal sculptures may be out of the ordinary, they are certainly inspiring works of art! It is the hope of the artist that passer by's will be prompted to sit or stand with the frogs to have a picture taken.

Contact Beau Smith, creator of The Beautiful Frog to find out how you can own your very own beautiful frog. You will be able to discuss your options for the theme directly with Beau.

Grow The Green With Garden And Patio Accents

Wednesday, February 10th, 2010 - Posted by Leigh Morrisett

The explosion of  television shows that focus on outdoor living spaces is phenomenal.  Thanks to cable TV and the variety of  30 to 60-minute garden shows, consumers are feeling compelled to create peaceful gardens and beautiful patios of their own.  Take advantage of this rising consumer need and make your shop the prime place for great yard decor.

How can you grow your profit with garden accents?  It is simple. You just need the following: Products, Sales Strategies, The Right Price.

Product

Although a broad group of products, the garden and patio accessories category has a common agenda — enhancing the outdoor living area.

With such diversity, what garden products can small retailers carry?  Gazing balls, plaques/signs, bird houses, and stepping stones are just a few garden decor items perfect for retailers with limited space or money.  For retailers who have the available space, think big and functional. Offer your customers patio furniture, fountains, fireplaces and garden statuary.  However, don't let limited space keep you from these items. There are garden decor wholesalers with special order programs that give you ability to sell these products from a catalog.

Think about compatibility. Mixing your existing product lines with your home and garden items can increase sales for both lines. Place complimentary items together for impulse buying. Examples include: Barb-be-que sauces next to decorative bee catchers, glassware next to patio furniture, or garden flags with door wreaths.

Sales Strategies

Keep abreast of current trends. Do you feel overwhelmed and unsure of what products to buy? To be successful you have to know what to buy and why.

By watching home improvement shows and reading garden and outdoor living magazines, you can stay in tune with the latest trends.  With up-to-date product  and trend knowledge, you will be able to select the right garden decor items.

Let others get the word out for you. How? Take a moment and think of the shows you've watched recently or even a commercial.  Have you ever seen a product and thought "Hmm interesting, I like that  item."  Then the next week while shopping, you noticed that very product in a store and most likely, purchased it.

Capitalize on the momentum and interest created by someone else by offering trendy or hot items seen on TV.  Think about it. Capitalizing on the latest trend will result in increased sales with little effort on your part.  If you're not currently selling garden and patio decorations, you're probably missing out on sales.

Buying Right

"Buying right" is more than finding a good price point.  Finding a supplier you can work closely with is essential.  Find a wholesaler that will work with you, not just sell you a product. FGmarket has wholesalers who are willing to help you select the right mix of merchandise for your shop.

When purchasing products, make sure you get the best deal. Getting the best deal includes: payment terms, price points and the right balance of high-end, trendy and proven products. Before you buy, look at your past sales figures to determine the ratio of high-end, mid-range and low-end products needed.  Once you have these figures, apply them to your outdoor garden decor items.

Next, negotiate with your vendors.  Negotiating tip: XYZ Company sells fountains and birdhouses. The fountains are high-end priced items, but the …click here to read Grow The Green With Garden And Patio Accents…

Flower shops and gift shops get ready for the year's biggest outdoor decor hits!

Most people who love flowers spend a lot of time making the outside of their house look as great as the inside and they use garden decorations to do this. But which ones should you carry? Ask Jeremiah Junction.

Where do you go for garden flags? Everyone has passed a house with a small outdoor flag hanging from a pillar. We've all seen garden flags and yard flags livening up the dark soil while enhancing the colorful flowers.

Many people have no idea where to find garden flags though. They could turn to garden shops at their local home store but they won't. They'll come to you once they know that you carry garden flags and standard yard flags from Jeremiah Junction. This will also inspire them to look for other outdoor decorations in your store.

Garden flags are a big hit but they aren't the only outdoor decorations that Jeremiah Junction offers. They also provide your store with some of the coolest country style decorations around. When your customers begin looking at garden flags, ask "why not liven up your mailbox as well?" When they give you the "go on…" stare, simply show them the Art-Snaps™ decorative magnets for mailboxes.

Art-Snaps™ aren't tiny magnets as you may think. These are high quality large magents that allow plenty of room for the house number. They have a great country (bucolic) style that reeks of cheeriness and charm. For the other side, magnets in the same style that are completely decorated provide a sense of balance and whimsy.
