There are summer smiles all round as garden centre footfall and sales volumes continue at record August levels this week. Total volumes in the GTN Epos All Products Index are up 32% on the same week in 2012 and even higher than last week when traditionally sales continue to decline through August.
With footfall at record levels it’s good to hear news of centres who are already promoting their Christmas openings and selling tickets for Grottos and Circuses on-line. The Garden Radio team have just completed their garden centre recordings for September and a surprisingly high number of ‘Ho, Ho, Hos’ have crept into the output. If it puts money in the bank and gets customers to put popular events into their diaries who are we to bah humbug!
Garden Radio have also just put the finishing touches to the Taylors Bulbs ad camapign for September. An update of the successful Bulb Pickers Bestsellers Charts radio ads will be airing for five weeks from August 30 through until October 9. The charts will be available as POS material via a pdf download and there’s an extra Garden Radio Q&A this year for Taylors’ new Scatterboxes.
