We've all gone Potty!

Pots sales have risen by 96% since garden centres re-opened according to analysis of Epos data supplied by garden centres for GTN Bestsellers.

 

Since re-opening, GTN Bestsellers have been regularly reporting on increased pot sales as part of the GTN Bestsellers Garden Products Chart but last week we carried out analysis of All Pot Sales to compare against 2019 sales levels and see just how big the total increase is.

 

The analysis shows that All Pots, sold with barcodes, (and that excludes pots with plants already planted in them) increased in volumes by 96% and there has been an increase in the number of Pot lines in the Epos data of 79%.

 

In the August issue of GTN, out next week, you'll be able to see the Top 50 Bestselling Pot Lines of 2020 since re-opening and the data shows that sales increases have been across the wider range of pots as the Top 50 sales volumes only increased by 49%.

 

It would seem that if you've got pots to sell, customers will buy them!

 

With all these pots being used in the garden just now, are you getting ready to sell those customers plenty of bulbs for planting in their post this autumn ready for spring?  Or have you got other plans to maximise on this pot mania opportunity?  Do let us know: trevor@pottingshedpress.co.uk
