Sussex tree grower helps people spread the cost of Christmas

PRLog (Press Release) - Aug. 10, 2011 - Clive Collins, who owns Catsfield Christmas Tree Farm, near Battle, came up with the idea to help families budget and spread the cost of their tree. Customers can start paying towards their tree in August and make their final payment when they collect their tree or order it on-line in December – also, if there are shortages this year, it means they are guaranteed a tree. Clive believes he is the first Christmas tree grower in the UK for offer this service.

“Christmas trees are becoming increasingly expensive and I hate the idea that some families may have to do without a nice tree this year because there are so many other expenses and they are strapped for cash.

“A good-quality, six-foot Sussex fir will cost around £50 which is a lot of money to pay out at once. We’re offering people the chance to pay £12.50 a month starting in August and spread the cost,” Clive explained.
