November sales fall just short of record levels
The last week of November didn’t quite live up to expectations to tip the GTN Bestsellers All products Index to the record we had had been predicting.
Christmas sales soared but other gardening related sales and overall purchases in total didn’t match the year on year increases seen previously during the month.
The month was 9% above the average for the previous 5 years, but just behind the previous peak of 2014.
So, it’s all down to the next three weeks. Expectations are running high at centres we’ve been visiting for The Greatest Christmas Awards. We hope to see many very busy centres during our visits.
GTN Bestsellers Top 50 sales volumes compared to the same week last year...
- Garden Products - down 5%
- Growing Media - down 6%
- Christmas Products - up 23%
- All Items Index - up 1%
