‘Christmas’ compensates for poor Black Friday week

 

Gardening sales took a tumble last week as Black Friday took people’s attention away from gardening despite continued balmy weather.


The GTN Bestsellers Plants and Growing Media indices dropped by over 30% while high street stores were very busy. 


Christmas sales in garden centres did rise by 32% to compensate as footfall started to grow towards the winter peaks which we all hope will come over the next three weeks.

 

GTN Bestsellers Top 50 sales volumes compared to the same week last year (week 47)

  • Garden Products - up 6%
  • Growing Media - down 11%
  • Christmas - down 9%
  • All Plants Index - down 15%
  • All Items Index - down 4%
