Customer Corner
Carolina Lanterns
Ben Walters and his team at Carolina Lanterns have set a precedent for succeeding in states that have already reopened retail - placing an emphasis on customer comfort, ease, and experience.
As the VP of Operations, Ben says, "we are trying to go above and beyond the expectations of our customers. We are offering the “new normal” with curbside pickup, online shopping and even FaceTime appointments. We are also making sure the environment to shop in is clean and comfortable. People don’t buy lighting out of need they buy it out of want, and they want to be comfortable, concise and confident in their buying...We don’t want customers to just buy from us - we want them to build a relationship with us."

Tips & Tricks
Hot Trend:
Home Office Lighting
Many people are finding themselves working from home for the foreseeable future, and lighting plays an important role in setting up a productive home office. At the moment, there are many shoppers seeking both ambient and task lighting to create the ideal ambiance for their work spaces.

Popular home office lighting applications are:
  • Lighting that can replicate daylight (to improve focus)
  • Smart Lighting (such as Bulbrite Solana) to allow for easy dimming and color-tuning
  • Desk-lamps to enable concentrated task-focused lighting
  • Ambient lighting that reduces glare on computer screens

The ALA recently did a webinar about this "Lighting the Home Office" trend. For more information about how you can watch on demand, please visit their site, here !
