What a weekend of promise. As soon as the snow started clearing, garden centres across the country reported full car parks and busy tills.
Gardening -elated sales volumes zoomed up, and growing media sales rose by almost 80%. It would appear our customers are ready and raring to get back into the garden and won’t be put off by the wet.
While the snow still covered the country sales of winter products and wild bird care fared extremely well. With the snow hopefully gone until next year we may not see high sales of winter products again, although wild bird care sales should continue at a high level through and beyond Easter.
What have you planned to keep the sales volumes high and how are you promoting wild bird care to encourage frequent return visits? Let us know by emailing trevor.pfeiffer@tgcmc.co.uk
