November storms towards record sales
Another week of sales up on last year means it’s almost certain we will be reporting on a record month at the end of November.
Judging by the packed car parks and restaurants we’ve seen whilst out making visits for The Greatest Christmas Awards, garden centres are providing a great place to visit during stormy weather. Sales volumes reported in the GTN Bestsellers data shows they buying plenty of items too.
The GTN Christmas products Top 50 was up by 19% on last year, reflecting higher footfall and this had a knock-on effect for garden products, up by 19% and growing media up by 14%.
With Christmas sales running 30% up year on year the biggest challenge could be managing displays as products sell out.
GTN Bestsellers Top 50 sales volumes compared to the same week last year...
- Garden Products - up 19%
- Growing Media - up 14%
- Christmas Products - up 19%
- All Items Index - up 8%
