Signs are looking good for Christmas sales in garden centres
As the Christmas season opens fully in many garden centres across the country, there are early signs that buying for the festive period is well underway. GTN Bestsellers data reveals that Christmas sales are up by 57% on the same week last year.
Gardening and growing media sales are also up on the same week in 2012 so it’s not the end of the gardening sales season quite yet.
But with colder weather arriving, customers are more likely to be visiting garden centres for warming soup and to shop from the cheery Christmas displays over the coming weeks. Let’s hope the footfall numbers stay on the up!
Now’s the time to make sure your teams are nominated for The Greatest Christmas Awards. We’re looking forward to receiving your entries. Email trevor.pfeiffer@tgcmc.co.uk
