Christmas gets October trade off to a flying start
 |
Sunny but colder weather combined with the extra attraction of fully opened Christmas displays led to a big leap in total sales volumes last week and got October off to a flying start, up 4% on last year.
Bulb sales performed well as the change in the weather prompted more gardeners to get on with their bulb buying and planting. Tulip Red Riding Hood topped our overall Top 20 chart (below) while 10 litre packs of Bulb Fibre featured at No 10 overall.
How will you maximise on continued bulb sales through October on the back of Christmas footfall? We’d love to see examples of how you make the most of bulb sales during the change over to Christmas. E-mail your stories and images to trevor.pfeiffer@tgcmc.co.uk
