Holiday Decoration Purchasing Considerations

Holiday Decorations and Lighting - Simple to Grand
We Can Help! Our Sales Representatives are ready to assist your organization in planning a tasteful display. Benefit from our years of experience in decorating to make the most of any size budget.

At Display Sales, we try our best to balance quality and affordability. We offer a range of products from extra heavy-duty commercial grade products to more affordable consumer grade products. We are confident that our products are worth what we charge for them.

  • Carefully assess your situation prior to purchasing and installing.

  • Talk to your City Planner or Public Works Department to gain permission to install on buildings or poles.

  • Consult with a certified electrician to calculate load.

  • Measure the clearance required on decorations and banners for traffic -including large trucks. A height of at least 20 feet is recommended but this varies by situation.

What Size Decoration Should You Buy?
The size of light pole determines what size decoration should be displayed.

Small - 4.5 Foot Decorations or Smaller
Low-level poles, sometimes called pedestrian poles range from 8 to 18 feet high.

Medium - 4.5 Foot To 6 Foot Decorations
Mid-level poles range from 18 to 30 feet high.

Large - 5 Foot Decorations or Larger
Large poles, sometimes referred to as highway or utility poles, range from 30 feet on up.

If You Don't See What You Want in our Catalog, Contact Us for a Custom Design.
We design and sell many custom projects each year. Our experienced sales staff and graphic designer will work together to create exactly what you are looking for.

Does Display Sales Offer Installation Services?
No, we do not. We offer well-written instructions for installation. Our Customer Service department will happily offer you technical assistance via telephone as well. When planning a decoration program, installation is an important consideration. City public works departments and utility companies are a good place to start when looking for installation assistance. In addition, it is important to gain permission to install decorations from the entity that owns the utility or light poles before purchasing and installing banners or decorations.
