We have hopefully come a long way from those ‘bad old days’ when the reception desk of a business proudly boasted an artificial plant or, even worse, a bunch of artificial flowers. That really does seem a long time ago, and you would have to wonder, what did the use of fake or artificial plants say about that business?

The use of an artificial plant brings up a slight dilemma. Do people really notice? Most of us today would notice, as we have become more sensitive to the environment, and value fresh and living plants, as opposed to tired and dusty fake ones.

So, for those of us who do notice these things, does the link between fake/ artificial (not real) undermine our trust in a brand? You would be forgiven for thinking that it might. In other words, if a business can’t even be bothered about their most important part of the office, the reception desk, then what do they care about? First impressions are everything; this is the mantra we have been hearing for decades, so if your first impression is of a fake plant or bunch of flowers, then you will have very little faith that the rest of the place is going to impress you very much.

Does this mean that the business abdicates responsibility for the caring of plants and does this mean that sustainability or the environment are not important to them? How many businesses talk about sustainability and the environment, then use fake plants? Is it ignorance, or is it a matter of cost saving?

As we said, first impressions are so important, and so your reception area should reflect exactly what is going on in the rest of the business, behind the scenes and in every aspect of the business.
