Sales of garden lighting products still shine brightly
 |
Last week we asked how many more garden lights could be sold – and the answer is masses more!
In this week's GTN Bestsellers Garden Products Chart outdoor lighting products amount to 61% of the total Top 50 sales volumes. That’s because sales are up 46% on last week and 300% up on the same week last year. The mix of warm summer evenings, new products, good merchandising and attractive price points mean that garden lighting is providing all of this summer’s growth in garden product sales. If we take garden lighting products out, “traditional” garden products sales are static year on year.
 With the evenings drawing in and more warm weather forecast this week’s chart volumes may not even be the garden lighting peak. With battery operated garden lights now becoming available that work just like the bestselling outdoor Christmas lights this product category is destined to be a bestseller all year round! What other solar powered or candle-lit garden decorative products will be the new bestsellers for 2015? GTN Bestsellers Top 50 sales volumes compared to the same week last year - Garden Products – up 68%
- Veg 2 Gro – down 17%
- Growing Media – up 7%
- All items index – up 5.3%
