    Ceiling Fans for Modern Home Technology

    Once the Future, Now the Present

    Todays’ homes feature automation that once was only a fantasy.

    When I was a kid I used to love sitting around watching cartoons. One of my favorites was The Jetsons. I remember George getting home from work, exiting his little spaceship car, then up the vacuum tube style elevator into his home. Once inside he was greeted by his robot dog Astro, and his robot maid.

    Some of the things I saw were so cool, but who would have ever thought some of those things would become present day technology that we take for granted everyday when we use them. One episode even had a kid watching The Flintstone’s on a small computer type device attached to his wrist. Aka: today’s Apple Watch!

    They would speak to activate devices in the home. Now we have Amazon Alexa, Google Assistant and so on.

    Now, when we get the spaceship style flying car, that automatically folds into a briefcase, we’ll be getting somewhere!

    The Trending Modern Farmhouse Home Décor

With Chip’s construction ability, and Joanna’s keen interior design eye, they would turn what was once a home that not many would care to live in, into a gorgeous masterpiece that is welcoming and a delight to call home.

    Our History and the Brand New Website Design (In Case You Are Interested)

    Our Original Website

    Our website, PalmFanStore.com, was originally launched February 2003. It consisted of only three ceiling fans, each coming in several different color choices. Those fans were the Gulf Coast Palm Breeze, the Gulf Coast Palm Bay, and the Fanimation Palisade ceiling fans. All three models used palm blades for a unique tropical look, perfect for beachfront home décor. Amazingly, sixteen years laters those fans are still in production today.

    Not Knowing What to Expect

    We approached the world of eCommerce expecting a small supplement in sales to our local brick and mortar fan store located in Greensboro, NC. What we got was not what we expected at all, as during the first week of launching the website, sales were more than double what we had anticipated. The second week a little higher, and the third a little higher yet again, and so on…

    Updates and More Fans Added

    Soon we knew we should focus more on the website, and this me
