  • Purchase Green Houston Breaks $1 Million in First 6 Months

    Establishing a new brick and mortar is no small feat, often requiring countless hours of scouting, documenting, training, and marketing. Purchase Green, after opening 30+ locations since its founding in 2008, recognized this burden and has since formulated a Store Opening Procedure to minimize pain points in the onboarding process, for both corporate and franchise operations alike.

    Even still, challenges persist no matter how prepared one might be. For this reason, newly opened Purchase Green stores are given a bit of reprieve for their first year, allowing these younger locations the opportunity to generate awareness and revenue – with the understanding that projected earnings will continue to rise over time.

    So, it is quite remarkable when a Purchase Green store as young as six months has already breached $1 million in revenue – for the first time in this organization’s history – and with trends indicating there is still much to gain in their market. But how did Purchase Green Houston do it? And how might others mirror their success? We met with our Houston, Texas team for their insight into what they believe has set them apart.

    The following interview was conducted by Parris King, our Content Marketing Manager, who spoke with Bob Felix, Regional Manager of Phoenix, Dallas, Houston, and Austin territories, as well as Jose Jimenez, Store Manager of Purchase Green Houston.

    Describes select grasses that have been engineered to remain cooler than other types of artificial grasses. We design our cool yarn grasses to divert UV radiation from the shorter curled fibers where heat can be trapped. In many cases, Cool Yarn grasses can produce temperature improvements of 10-20% relative to grasses with the highest heat retention rate.

    were first developed for use on professional baseball fields in Japan and are an exceptional solution for high-traffic area applications. Purchase Green uses these fibers to offer superior performance for almost any application. Not just for sports fields anymore, these fibers work for yards, landscapes, playgrounds, and anywhere else.

  • Artificial Grass? Fake Turf? Which one’s correct?

    artificial grass, synthetic turf, fake grass; what’s the difference? The term Astro Turf became synonymous with artificial grass, specifically for sports field applications. Astro turf is actually the name of an artificial grass brand (Kleenex is a brand of tissue, but we still often say “pass me a Kleenex”). A lot of times, the term can conjure up images of fake-looking, uncomfortable, surfaces like this one:

    For that, and legal reasons, we don’t use the term. But we know that many still do. If you’re a contractor it’s good to be able to clarify the meaning to customers.

  • How To Create The Perfect Play Area

    No matter how big or small your home is – if you’re creative enough, you can make a play area anywhere.

    Here are 5 imaginative ways to create the perfect play area.

    • Sensory Play

    Sensory play areas are full of bright colours and different textures. You can create a soft and colourful indoor play area by using these great alphabet tiles. You could also add sensory toys, such as a colour changing lamp. Get creative with different sounds and smells to keep your baby entertained for hours.

    • Football Goals

    Lay down some durable artificial grass in the garden, add some football goals at each end, and voila! A mini football field in your back garden. This is perfect for getting the kids outside for some fresh air and exercise. Alternatively, you could turn your outdoor play area into a mini rugby pitch or hockey field – whichever sport you fancy!

    • Make A Den

    Every child loves making dens, as they provide a safe space of their own. Get some bed sheets and build a fort behind the sofa. If you have outdoor space, you can create the perfect den with a small shed and a lick of paint. If you’re feeling even more creative, why not build a treehouse or a platform like this one

    • A Sensory Garden

    Create a sensory garden by planting colourful flowers and painting pots in a variety of colours. Flowers such as forget-me-nots and pansies are brightly coloured and will attract insects to your garden. Lambs ear plants (Stachys Byzantina) are velvety soft and easy to care for. You could also add a variety of herbs, such as mint and rosemary, which have vibrant and safe smells when rubbed between the fingers.

    • DIY Tyre Swing

    If you’ve got a large and sturdy tree in your garden, why not create your own DIY Tyre Swing. You can buy special ropes which secure your swing to the tree so that nobody goes flying. You could also get creative and paint your tree swing in bright colours, or even in camouflage as part of an obstacle course.

    The Benefits of Play

    Research from the NHS has found that exercise and fresh air can significantly improve your mental health. In a study conducted by the University of Essex, it was discovered that exercising outdoors was associated with improvements in both self-esteem and mood. With the rise in technology, it is becoming even more important to encourage children to play outdoors.

    Sensory play is just as important as outdoor play. Sensory activities at a young age allow children to explore and investigate. It has been discovered that sensory play helps to develop nerve connections in the brain, as well as the development of speech and motor skills.

    By creating a safe and vibrant space in your home, you can help to teach your child vital skills which they’ll carry with them through life.
