Garden lighting products are on the verge of outselling all other garden products, according to the GTN Bestsellers chart.

In this week’s Garden Products Top 50 chart there are 16 garden lighting product lines and their cumulative sales equate to 42% of overall volumes.

This product category allows gardeners to instantly make changes to their garden, and it must be benefiting from the great weather we’ve been enjoying.

But to grow volumes by over 100% on the same week last year is a staggering performance. No wonder the GTN Bestsellers Garden Product sales index is up by 6% on last year to date.

The question is: How many more garden lighting products can we sell in garden centres?

There is no doubt from the Epos data supplied to GTN Bestsellers that this category must not be tucked away in distant corners of a garden centre.

Customers want to buy easy-to-install solar and battery powered garden lighting so we need to make the products as easy for them to add to their shopping basket as possible.
