Will Garden Re-Leaf Day spark sales at garden centres?


Garden Re-Leaf Day and a weather forecast that is set fair for the weekend is just what’s required to make sure the sales volumes line for 2016 goes up in the right direction.

GTN Bestsellers Top 50 sales volumes compared to the same week last year...
  • Garden Products - down 10%
  • Veg-2-Gro - down 23%
  • Growing Media - down 6%
  • All Items Index - down 10%
We’ve been doing some development work in the background for GTN Bestsellers looking at different ways we can bring you the sales charts and other analysis from the EPoS data we receive every week.

One of the areas we are exploring is a combined chart of all products that are purchased for use in the garden or indoor gardening.

Below is the Top 20 from that analysis for last week. How does it match your own bestsellers?



Over the coming weeks we will be contacting as many GTN Bestsellers readers as possible to discuss the alternative ways we could deliver the charts and other ideas we have for more useful analysis. We look forward to hearing your views.
