5 tips for 2021 ordering in the outdoor living industry
I can not emphasize this enough… get your orders in early this year. In 2020, the main thing we learned about pandemic ordering was what happens when orders aren’t placed ahead of the Spring curve— we wound up behind the 8-ball. With the COVID-19 pandemic raging on, get your orders placed now. The sooner the better.
While you’re working with your clients here are 5 tips to keep in mind when placing orders for Spring 2021:
1. Order early
Skyline Design Horizon Collection New for 2021
With COVID-19 material, fabrication, and delivery delays— we have to put our orders a minimum of 30-60 days a head of normal. I know, that sounds like a lot! But giving 1-2 months lead time is just the safest bet in order to fulfill our clients’ projects and backyard dream oasis.
2. Select dependable lines
The run-of-the-mill outdoor living piece will fall apart after a couple of seasons. And after staying home all of 2020, your clients’ quick pandemic impulse purchase will need to be replaced. This year, give them products that are built to last.
Skyline Design has been delivering the wow factor for over 15 years. We offer a wonderful array of cool modern collections that keep our clients excited in season, and provide new intros every season!
MAMAGREEN delivers high performance collections with experience in longevity in the resort lifestyle furnishing.
Shademaker and Jardinico are two shading brands that keep bringing quality to commercial space and luxury residential projects year in and year out.
3. Consider larger seating options for people to sit down and eat
Large dining collections are gaining ground because extended families are living under one roof. Commercial spaces require more space to meet COVID-19 regulations. MAMAGREEN showcases award winning designs and extendable tables that will seat up to 24 with very high performance table tops.
4. Make sure seating is comfortable

I know I don’t have to tell you this one but comfort is king. Deep seating collections by MAMAGREEN, are the rage this season with super comfort and plush seating sectionals fit royalty! Skyline Design daybeds are a great option if you are looking for a wow factor piece to spread out in!
5. Work with clients to order in-ground mounted shading options

Safety is a must this season, as we are being very protective of our families. An in-ground mount ensures that shading stays put. Our clients won’t have to worry about high-winds or rain and can meet COVID-19 safety requirements. These mounts also ensure shading options are not moved, which means they’ll lost longer.
