Behind the Scenes: How Planterra Perfects Custom Drop-Shipped Holiday Décor for National Brands

August 12, 2025

For over a decade, Planterra has been the trusted partner for corporations seeking custom holiday décor and drop-shipped holiday decorations that maintain a consistent brand image across hundreds of locations nationwide.

Nationwide Holiday Décor for Multi-Location Brands

Planterra’s corporate holiday décor program is designed for companies and brands with 100+ locations across the United States, offering a seamless solution for multi-location holiday décor.

From major banks to luxury hotels and fashion retailers, the goal is simple: create branded holiday decorations that look professional, festive, and uniform from coast to coast.

“Our clients know that store #2 will look just as perfect as store #200,” says Shane Pliska, Planterra’s President.

Step 1: Concepts and Budgets 

Every large-scale holiday décor project begins with an in-depth conversation to understand the client’s scope and goals. Planterra’s design team presents several custom holiday décor concepts, detailing:

  • Materials and finishes
  • Installation timelines
  • Product life spans
  • Budget ranges

Once approved, a full-scale prototype is created and installed at a test location to confirm color, scale, and brand alignment before nationwide production.

Step 2: From Prototype to Nationwide Roll-Out

After prototype approval, Planterra finalizes quantities per location and prepares a detailed proposal.

For branded holiday decorations that require overseas production, a 50% deposit is due by April before the holiday season, allowing for custom manufacturing in Asia.

Designs are standardized for cost efficiency but tailored with corporate holiday décor elements such as exclusive ornament colors or finishes. For multi-location holiday décor projects with 100+ sites, planning can take up to a year.

Step 3: Precision Manufacturing and Quality Control

Planterra’s team manages every stage of production for its drop-shipped holiday decorations, ensuring specifications are met precisely.

Like the fashion industry, holiday décor styles evolve quickly — materials, colors, and techniques can vary year to year. With a 12-month lead time, clients receive sample submittals and prototype approvals to guarantee brand consistency.

By late summer or early fall, shipments arrive in the U.S., with some items assembled in-house and others shipped fully finished.

Step 4: Turn-Key Nationwide Logistics

Planterra offers turnkey holiday décor solutions, handling:

  • Design and prototyping
  • Procurement and importing
  • Assembly and quality control
  • Direct-to-location drop shipping
  • Storage in select markets

“Our corporate holiday décor program works because it’s efficient, scalable, and eliminates the burden of managing seasonal décor internally,” says Pliska.

A Decade of Trusted Partnerships

For over 10 years, Planterra has partnered with corporations to deliver custom holiday décor programs that:

  • Maintain brand consistency across all locations
  • Leverage economies of scale for cost savings
  • Guarantee quality through prototypes and sample reviews
  • Provide hassle-free holiday décor logistics nationwide

The result? Every store, branch, or property receives its décor on time, looking exactly as envisioned — creating a synchronized holiday experience for customers and employees nationwide.
