See all the bestsellers of tomorrow at Glee 2015


Thousands of retailers and buyers are expected to attend Glee 2015 at the NEC, which starts on Monday and continues over three action-packed days.

Garden retailers, landscapers and builders merchants looking to build their business will be flocking to i2i Events’ UK-leading garden retail event, where the latest innovations from hundreds of garden industry suppliers will be on show in one convenient location.

Seeing the latest product launches under one roof is one of the major attractions to Glee visitors, and this September’s show is set to unveil a record number of new items.

An impressive line-up of entries to the popular New Products Showcase is a positive sign that Glee exhibitors are excited about their latest products and can’t wait to show them to visiting retailers and buyers.

Speaking to visitors, we know that a lot of them head to the Showcase first. They can view all the latest items in one place, and once they’ve seen what they like, they then head off to the stand of the manufacturer or supplier of that product to discuss it in more detail.

Winning an New Product Award at Glee can be the launchpad to huge sales. That’s according to companies whose new launches have been recognised at previous exhibitions.

Manufacturers can be confident that successful products have a great chance of becoming bestsellers. And past winners admit that winning an award can certainly increase the profile of the items to the trade. So make sure you visit Glee next week because it’s certainly the place to find the bestsellers of tomorrow.

GTN Bestsellers Top 50 sales volumes compared to the same week last year...
  • Garden Products - up 2%
  • Veg-2-Gro Products - up 38%
  • Growing Media - down 10%
  • All Items Index - up 7 %
