As a dealer, having your hot tubs front and center on the sales floor is a must — but there are plenty of buyers looking for more than just the spa. Many want the full backyard experience. Having the accessories to round out the atmosphere keeps customers happy and in your store.
Not every backyard accessory is showroom worthy, but there are certain attention-grabbing pieces that sell customers on the whole experience. Eye-catching LED furniture is one of those.

The colors from our furniture really light up the darkness.”
