Dear Oregon Forestry Lab,


Your "P. R."in researching the merchandising of your product is appreciated! (My BA degree is merchandising) I'm sorry to admit I didn't do the tree & hooks - missed it somewhere - but idea is excellent and we will do it next year - we demonstrated on a tree we put in soak in October & so it was documented . Not hard to sell if we have the right Elves. Repeat customers ask for it. Small operation that is only for fun - 12 years of it though!

Dear Oregon Forestry Laboratory,

The preserver sold well because of the packaging. I didn't have time to make the tree..

Hi Jim, it’s Becky from Habilitate in Hawaii. I had to call and tell you people are coming to our tree lots asking if we still have your tree preserver. I think some people are coming back to us because of your tree preserver.

Hi, Jimmy:

Just a quick note to let you know how much we (and our customers) love Oregon Forestry Laboratory’s granular Christmas tree preservative. This stuff almost sells itself! The 144-packet display is colorful, easy to display, refill and easy to store any extras. It really works to keep the cut-off tree butts saturated with water in the water bowl stands. But I think what really catches the customer’s eye is the CHILD AND PET SAFE feature. Over the last 3 years, your product has gradually replaced the liquid preservative at our tree lots that we've sold for years, to the point during 2017, nearly 85% of tree preservative sales are now for your product. So, thank you, Jimmy, we’re so glad we connected. You have our 2018 order – doubled every year since 2015!!

 Christmas tree freshness is the most important part of the customer experience and this product is hands down the best product on the market for keeping your Christmas trees fresh and supple for the entire Holiday season.

Dear Oregon Forestry Lab.


The product went over like "GANG BUSTERS"! We put them on a display tree and also put the display on the counter top next to the cash register.. I have touched base with some family friends who used it and they all said that their tree was still fairly fresh at New Year..
Next season again!

Dear Oregon Forestry Laboratory,


This is the first year I used your tree preserver, having in the past used the plastic bottle mixture.. We cut a fresh tree from a farm 3 weeks ago. It was important the tree remain fresh not only for safety but because we have out of town guests coming for New Years. 
Our tree is still lovely - green and the needles are soft and intact. Your product worked so much better than any preserver I have used. 
I am hoping it will be available next season. I purchased it at Fred Meyers. Will this be your outlet next year also?
Thank you for a successful preservative.


Sincerely,
Mrs. J. D. Phillips

Dear Oregon Forestry Laboratory,


The idea of displaying the packets on the tree was a success. They sold like hotcakes. People were sold on the gel and I told them I know the inventor. and I felt it is the best on the market and I wont sell anything else anymore.. Much success to you.

I have been using and selling your tree preserver for the last three years. Speaking from experience, I found it keeps my tree fresher for longer periods of time. We keep our tree in the house for at least one month. My tree even looks greener than when I first put it up. My customers have purchased all of your tree preserver that I had.

“Jim! I’m out of preservative already. This stuff is selling like hot cakes. I can’t believe the people that are coming back and swearing by it.”

Ellen Faiss / Reno, Tahoe

Once more, it’s getting close to that time of year. My buyers no longer have any interest in liquid preserver. I threw out the rest as it does no longer sell. Since I have been carrying your product, that’s all my customers want and demand.

I have told many other retail operators about this over the past 3 years and after they tried your packets, they will not take anything else. NICE JOB!!!!!!!!
