Rent a christmas tree for £99!!!!

Just came across this article on the daily mail website about a company in England that rents out Christmas trees for the month of December then looks after them until next year...and they charge £99! What do you think about this? seems a bit pricey to me considering you can buy one for about £20-£30.

  • Seems well over priced we retail our 6ft premium Nordmann for £30 and 7ft at £40
  • Overpriced? Possibly a yes, but there are an awful lot of time-poor people out there who also like to 'hug a tree'.

    So ninety quid to salve one's conscience throughout the year, having YOUR tree brought back to you each year too? Looks like a quick money spinner to me.

    One query - one for the T&C's I guess - what happens when, after 5 years, my tree is too big for the lounge??

    Cheers, Eugene

  • Thinking a little further.....the amount of CO2 expanded in delivering and collecting the trees isn't overly environmentally friendly after all.

    Let alone the business cost?

    Does it matter - the price that is ? Some people might say the service you, me or other LJN members provide is 'pricey', but he has identified a niche market and clients want the service & the product :

    "The rented trees have been an instant hit with families and businesses snapping up all 3,000 trees this year."

    If you came up with a such a business idea, would you not be happy ?

    I know I would :-)

  • We offer delivery and disposal with ours, never imagined that people would pay that much extra to have the same tree looked after
