GTN Bestsellers Top 50 sales volumes compared to the same week last year
- Garden Products – up 87%
- Veg-2-Gro – up 100%
- Growing Media – up 133%
- All items index – up 75%
Everything is on the ‘up’ this week in garden centre sales terms, according to the Epos data supplied for the weekly GTN Bestsellers charts. And all because we’re actually having a Spring this year.
Look at those year-on-year increases from the same time last year – for instance, Growing Media volumes are up by 133%.
Customers are active on their plots and spending more time visiting and buying from garden centres – probably more than 75% up on footfall, using the GTN Bestsellers total volume sales as an indicator.
With Mothers’ Day on Sunday and more good spring-like weather forecast, we could be reporting record sales levels for the whole of March when we comple next week’s charts.
How are your volume sales looking for the first quarter? Up by 20% or more? And what promotions do you have planned to make sure you stay ahead as we move into April? Let us know by emailing trevor.pfeiffer@tgcmc.co.uk
