Tree Classics is recognized as the top-shelf brand for pre-lit

Holiday tree company delivers classic service

Tree Classics began its journey over three decades ago in 1971 as a handful of people who manufactured Christmas trees on the South Side of Chicago. The company sold wholesale to Venture Stores, Montgomery Wards, Service Merchandise, and Franks Nursery which all closed their doors. The only major companies left carrying their trees were Wal-Mart, K-Mart, and Menards.
In the early ‘90s, the amazing explosion of the Internet paved a new way for Tree Classics. The company quickly moved from selling products wholesale to selling artificial trees online. Personalized service, selection, quality, and the convenience of the Internet with factory-direct pricing has propelled them to a 14th straight year of being the number one online seller of artificial Christmas trees. Tree Classics was the first company  to offer pre-lit trees, the first to offer L.E.D. pre-lit trees, and the first to offer Christmas trees with free shipping directly to homes.
Today, Tree Classics has delivered its exceptional products to more than 400,000 individuals and organizations including Intel Corporation, Hilton Hotels, Georgetown University, Duke University, the U.S. Senate building, IKEA Corp, Harley Davidson Corp, Nextel, The Capitol Hill Club, Washington D.C., and American embassies in more than a dozen countries.
With strong values practiced since its inception, Tree Classics believes in its ability to succeed where other e-commerce companies have failed. While 2008 was a difficult year for many businesses due to the economy, Internet traffic has increased yearly. Tree Classics has adapted to meet the changes that customers expect in these trying times. Many customers are looking for slimmer, smaller trees with a lower price tag and Tree Classics has delivered on that expectation. The company believes that hard times affect everyone, but that they can work harder to deliver affordable products so every can have a positive Christmas experience.  “After all, businesses are made of people, and people keep us in business,” says company representative, Alex Ignatov.
Every customer, every employee, and every supplier is an integral part of Tree Classics’ success and are all held in great regard and appreciation. The company recognizes its ability to conduct business not just as a professional work team, but as a strong group of creative thinkers with years of experience. This team approach ensures the company and its reputation will continue to grow in the right direction locally and online.
With praise from national publications including the Chicago Tribune, the New York Times, the Wall Street Journal, Better Homes & Gardens, Ladies Home Journal, Southern Living, and Parade Magazine, the company has enjoyed being promoted as the top-shelf brand for pre-lit artificial Christmas trees. 
Tree Classics designs and manufactures all of their trees which are valued for their quality, beauty, and long-lasting strength. Hundreds of thousands of satisfied customers from all over the world have expressed their satisfaction  with the high quality of  Tree Classic designs.
