The Hidden Cost of Static Décor (Problem)
While 78% of customers say interior aesthetics influence their perception of a business1, traditional live plants often create more problems than they solve. Retailers face recurring expenses from plant maintenance ($200-$800 monthly for commercial spaces2), seasonal die-offs disrupting décor themes, and limited design flexibility in high-traffic areas.
Why "Good Enough" Design Is Costing You Opportunities (Agitate)
Static greenery arrangements silently sabotage your business by:
- Blending into the background instead of creating Instagram-worthy focal points
- Limiting seasonal rebranding capabilities due to plant growth patterns
- Forcing compromise between air quality and aesthetic vision in windowless spaces
- Wasting valuable floor space with predictable pot-and-stand arrangements
