Making the most of growing media record sales
 
Growing bags, hanging baskets and potting on seedlings were the activities that drove the highest percentage growths in growing media last week.

Total volume sales continue to break records for each week, up by 38% on the first week of April 2016.

Are your team making the most of the obvious linked sales with every growing media sale? 

Here’s our top three suggestions:
  • Cat repellent with every sale of manure or soil conditioner.  Your customers will love you for it but the neighbour’s cat won’t.
  • A watering lance for every moisture control compost sale to keep all those hanging baskets in tip top condition
  • Growing supports and plant food with every sale of grow bags. And of course more young plants…
Scotts Levington Organic Choice Top Soil re-entered the GTN Bestsellers Top 50.
