Still time for Christmas to end on a high note Exclusive GTN Bestsellers Epos data analysis
After the record trading week, volume wise, at the end of November, garden centre Christmas sales have tailed off. But with one full weekend’s trading still to come there’s plenty of opportunity for Christmas to sell out and for garden products to sell in high volumes as Christmas gifts.
Now’s a good time for us to wish you all a Happy Christmas and hope you are able to grab a well-earned rest after this pandemic affected year.
Before you switch everything off though, please do get your entries in for GTN’s Greatest Christmas Awards. There’s over £7,000 of prizes to be won! See the details on www.gardentradenws.co.uk or e-mail trevor@pottingshedpress.co.uk.
Happy Christmas!
