Peter Drinkell, Managing Director of EasyPlants, explains why they were chosen, "The BBC required an experienced company that could put across the benefits and the environmental issues of owning an artificial Christmas tree. Easyplants was choosen as the leading UK's supplier of artificial trees that sold over 13000 artificial trees and silk plants in 2006, including over 1500 Christmas trees. The EasyPlants website http://www.easyplants.co.uk/ has over 1million hits a month, an increase of 500,000 from the previous year, and turnover has trebled from 2005. Artificial Christmas trees are in fashion again, we have sold over 35% more Christmas trees in 2006 than 2005. The biggest sellers being the vogue Black artificial trees and the White artificial tree, we would have sold more if I had the stock available," continues Peter. "The Christmas tree is more a fashion item than ever before, people want the perfect looking maintenance-free Christmas tree in quirky colors. There are many benefits of purchasing an artificial Christmas tree over a real one. Our trees come with dense, crush and fade resistant PVC needles with thick ply to keep a good shape for years. They can be set up easily and do not need adjustments. They are easier to maintain and can be folded and stored easily. The artificial Christmas trees are ideal for those suffering from allergies to conifers. If I were selling real Christmas Trees I'd focus on marketing the warm, fuzzy feeling of cutting a tree down, rather than trying to scare people, with what the deem the environmental hazards of plastic trees," Peter Drinkell concludes.
