Mild December caps record year for sales
 |
The mildest December for many years, if not ever, may have stunted the sales of some usual garden centre winter sales such as coal, logs, grit, sledges and wild bird food but it’s not hampered overall sales with week 50 being another record sales week, according to GTN Bestsellers data.
So we reach the end of 2015 with record sales for Growing Media, Veg-2-Gro and Christmas in our Bestsellers data analysis.
Interestingly, despite it also being a record year for gardening and plant sales, our GTN Bestsellers Garden Products index is down year on year. Perhaps growing conditions were just so good customers didn’t need to buy so much pest control and lawncare products.
Looking forward to next year with mild weather forecast for January and February we could get off to a great early gardening start.
GTN Bestsellers Top 50 sales volumes compared to the same week last year...
- Garden Products - up 24%
- Christmas Products - up 11%
- Growing Media - up 4%
- All Items Index - up 7%
Happy Christmas to you all, we’ll see you in the New Year!
