Milwaukee Entrepreneur Launches Virtual Christmas Tree Company

PR Log (Press Release) – Oct 21, 2008 – Local 24-year-old entrepreneur and Milwaukee resident Marie Maas announced today the launch of an innovative new company offering a unique take on holiday gift giving – fresh-cut evergreens personally delivered from the original Christmas Tree Capital of the World – the Wisconsin Northwoods. Offering “evergreen gift packages” as a promotional item or corporate gift option for employees or customers, The Tree Boutique caters to those seeking a unique gift idea or those looking to cut back during times of economic uncertainty.

“Although counterintuitive at first, this is a timely gift option given the current economic landscape,” said Marie Maas, founder of The Tree Boutique. “With economic uncertainty translating to more conservative year-end bonuses and corporate gifts this season, a holiday tree delivery or gift package is a cost-effective option with a personalized touch, whether used as a promotional item for customers or a gift for employees and clients.”

Corporate gift options include a gift card packaged in a holiday box with satin ribbon, redeemable online or by phone for the Christmas tree type and size of recipient’s choice with free delivery, or a customizable e-card with redemption code. Other gift options include direct Christmas tree delivery to business or residential locations, ranging from miniature tabletop trees up to full-size Christmas trees with gift packages starting at $20.

“I’m excited to be a part of something that’s never been done before in Milwaukee – or anywhere else I’ve found for that matter,” said Maas. “While greeting cards and gift baskets get lost in the clutter, a festive evergreen will be noticed for weeks - whether on display in the office or home.”

The Tree Boutique also offers residential services, providing free Christmas tree delivery in the metro-Milwaukee area, and nominal fees for delivery outside Milwaukee County. Unlike online mass retailers, who often ship trees in boxes across the country, The Tree Boutique evergreens are Wisconsin-grown and personally hand-delivered to ensure high-quality, beautiful trees.

“This is also a great option for families who want to get in the holiday spirit but don’t have the means to cut down or pick up a tree, or simply want to avoid the hassle and mess of picking up and transporting an evergreen to their home,” noted Maas.
