Garden lighting is outselling Christmas lighting
 

Seven out of the Top 10 products in the GTN Bestsellers Garden Products chart are lighting lines this week, and 14 in all of the Top 50.

Compared to the same week, last year the number of garden lighting products sold is up by a staggering 149%.

With many garden lighting lines outselling Christmas lighting lines at the moment perhaps garden lighting should be positioned closer to Christmas and gifts where footfall is highest – or even at the entrance to your restaurant.

Star performers include:

  • Smart Solar’s Ceramic Bird Wind Chime Light in red – it’s the highest new entry at No 15, joining the white version, which is at No 4.
  • Gardman Frosted Glass Tealight Lanterns move up 10 places to take the No 1 spot.
  • Stewart Clear Saucers for pot sizes 11 to 18.5cm are the week’s highest climber as planting moves indoors.
