Ice-cool sales promotions


The sub-zero temperatures have prompted a sales boost for Gardman Frostgard 17gsm 8m x 1.5m roll in garden centres as gardeners made a late bid to protect those tender plants against the extreme weather. The product had a 50% increase in sales, jumping up the Garden Products chart to No 2.

Botanico Frost Fleece Twin Pack also saw an increase in sales to hold its position at No 11.

The highest new entry came from Gardman, whose Metal Tray and 3 Pots jumped straight into the chart at No 9. Another new entry saw Fiskars Lifestyle Pruner grab No 20 spot.



There were three other core gardening new entries:
  • Westland Fish Blood Bone 1.5kg + 50% Extra Free at No 33.
  • Westland Fish Gromore 1.5kg + 50% Extra Free at No 37.
  • Growing Success Winter Tree Wash at No. 49.
There is a non-mover at the top of the chart where Fito Drip Feeder for Orchids keeps hold of No 1 position. The poinsettia and Christmas cactus version stays at No 4, showing the extended benefit of all those pre-Christmas houseplant sales.
