Elho joins HTA National Plant Show line up
 
Whilst the focus at the HTA National Plant Show is clearly on plants themselves it also provides a fantastic platform for exhibitors to demonstrate innovative and inspiring displays that ultimately lead to increased plant sales.

The Horticultural Trades Association (HTA) is delighted to launch a new award for the Best Plant Concept for Retail, sponsored by Elho. This will showcase creative packaging concepts that will help retailers sell more plants and not just focus on newer varieties and in addition to this Elho is a contributor to the Retail Concept Experience for 2017.

David Nicholson, Sales Manager for Elho UK and Ireland, says, “We’re absolutely delighted to be involved with the National Plant Show and sponsoring the Best Plant Concept for Retail. We know that today garden centres need to apply the most sophisticated instore marketing techniques to inspire and motivate consumers as they browse the aisles.

"Elho works with garden centre retailers to deliver an inspirational instore environment with pots, containers and accessories that show off plants to their best advantage. We’ve seen a dramatic increase in sales when pots and plants are combined together, making it easy for consumers to bring the inspiration home, immediately.”

The retail Concept Experience area will create a stimulating retail environment for visitors filled with inspiring retail ideas for you to take away. It will also feature an area curated by Elho showing its in-store installation concepts which ultimately support increased plant sales.

You can register now for free to attend both of these exhibitions:
