Drip feeders are the only sales increase year on year
The GTN Bestsellers charts this week reflect, as if we didn’t know it, that most people stayed indoors last weekend and tried their best to keep warm. The only product across all the Top 10s of the three weekly GTN charts that sold more volume than in the same week last year were Fito Orchid Drip feeders, amazingly up by 4% year on year.
While many products we’d expect to be selling at the moment sat on shelves instead of moving through tills, sales of some vegetable seeds did well and seed propagation products faired better than most. Our guess is that your really keen customers with greenhouse heaters are just carrying on regardless.
Gardman Gravel Seed Trays moved 12 places up the Garden Products chart to No 21.
James Wong’s Cucamelon Seeds from Suttons climbed 21 places in the Veg-2-Gro chart into the Top 10.
Creative Products Seeder also moved into the Top 10 of the Garden Products Chart.
The cold temperatures caused a spike in garden glove sales. Gardman have a new entry at No 20.
And despite the cold weather Kaemingk’s LED Solar lights sold more week on week to become the second highest selling garden product this week.
On the growing media front it’s a sorry stay-at-home picture. Top 50 sales were 68% down on the same week for the last two years and only 13 lines increased their sale week on week when you’d be expecting all growing media lines to be on the up.
