Half-term week sales could make it a record October


GTN Bestsellers predicts that half-term week will make this October a record month.  

Our current data is showing all sales running currently 6% up on last year. With the weather forecast staying good for Halloween weekend, prospects for garden centre trading are far from scary.

With Christmas sales running at 33% up year on year, sales volumes overall could get back to parity for the whole year if trends continue at the present rate. Good news indeed.

GTN Bestsellers Top 50 sales volumes compared to the same week last year...
  • Garden Products - down 7%
  • Growing Media - up 5%
  • Christmas Products - up 35%
  • All Items Index - up 7%
Below is the UK Bestsellers All Garden Products Top 20.
