Garden centres hoping for a bumper December
With only four weeks of serious retailing left for the year, the GTN Bestsellers All Barcode Products Index sits at 0.3% down compared to last year.
A great final run into Christmas will get the index back to the same level as 2011.
A poor run, similar to 2009 when there was heavy December snow, will leave the index about 1.5% down on last year for volume sales.
What’s your gut feeling on the current trading conditions? Has Christmas peaked or are there still plenty of sales to be had?
Perhaps we need this weekend’s cold snap to get even more people into the Christmas spirit and into garden centres...
