Innovative Ideas to grow your nursery

Increase Sales with End-Caps and Destinations

Offer your customers a series of seasonal Proven Winners displays that match the plants with the greatest sales appeal to each sales season. Use the Proven Winners plant list to tailor a program for your area.

Generate even more sales

1. Sell Proven Winners as a packaged program. Offer a set number of plants, i.e. 500 or 1000 plants and include the POP as part of the package. If your customer commits to greater numbers offer increasing benefits such as banners and benches.

2. If you merchandize, create a Proven Winners ColorChoice destination by grouping the plants together in one location. If you do not merchandize, provide your customer with a destination layout so they can build it.

Departments stores understand the power of brand destinations - you should too. Consumers know the white PW container so make it easy for them to find these great plants.

3. Sell and create Proven Winners end-caps. Seasonal end-caps are simple and generate more sales. Concentrate on high end, impulse items such as My Monet, Black lace and City Line Hydrangea. Sell the plants as a package with the P.O.P. included and a decorative container plant (manikin) as the focal point.

4. Make it look professional with Proven Winners P.O.P. posters and cards. Offer to customize the posters with the retailers logo. For a powerful display, don't forget the bench tap. Click here order P.O.P. It delivers in less than one week!
