Record Christmas trading, reports GTN Bestsellers


The final GTN Bestsellers data for the year revealed that the 12 weeks of Christmas trading in 2016 were a record – 5% up on 2015 and 10% higher than the average for the previous five years.

Our other year ending graph from GTN's own weekly garden centre sales monitor shows the importance of Christmas products during those 12 weeks, more than double the volumes of Garden Products and Growing Media as measured by Top 50 product volumes.

GTN Bestsellers Top 50 sales volumes compared to the same week last year...
  • Garden Products - down 16%
  • Growing Media - down 8%
  • Christmas Products - down 17%
  • All Items Index - down 12%
