How Does Your Garden Centre Grow?

5th August 2015

Garden centres are using HFE banners to advertise their latest deals this summer

While a quite contrary Mary’s garden grew with silver bells, cockle shells and pretty maids all in a row, modern-day garden centres need more than just a nursery rhyme to get customers flocking to their stores.

Garden centres are big businesses these days. It’s not just about potted plants and flowers, with customers having the potential to spend hours on site where they can buy a massive array of products before heading over to the restaurant for a pit stop.

At HFE, we get lots of garden centres requesting banners and it makes sense considering there is so much space on site to advertise the latest deals. For example, you might have a massive plant sale where customers can get up to 50% off and a roadside banner or some kind of display in the car park will alert all those green-fingered customers looking for a bargain.

You might also want to advertise the café, restaurant or children’s play area which is a great way of getting more value from each customer. Parents will always welcome a garden centre where bored children can have a play instead of watching them deliberate over hyacinths or petunias.

The great thing about garden centres is that they can appeal to customers all year round. During spring and summer, people are looking for ways to make their garden sparkle, whether its buying plants / flowers or even some new garden furniture.

Autumn-time is when new bulbs are planted for the next year and bonfire night means demand for a few boxes of fireworks, while winter means Christmas and that often involves a Santa’s Grotto, Christmas trees for sale along with a raft of indoor and outdoor decorations for customers to purchase.

So where do HFE come in? Let’s start with some cheap PVC banners which are all the rage when it comes to outdoor display thanks to their versatility. Price-wise, we’re starting the bidding at £13.99 which caters for the budget of any business and you get free UK delivery with an order of two or more banners.

Naturally, our banners are robust and stand up to all elements should you wish to pitch them in an outdoor environment, with businesses able to use our products year on year without having to buy new banners.

Design-wise, we have plenty of banner designs already made up so you can either take something straight from the online shelf or you might instead want to design your own beauties.

Our free online service means you can bring images, logos and marketing messages to the party and spend some time getting your banner designs bang on before checking out and we’ll take care of the rest.

Order before 11am and we’ll despatch those banners for next day delivery so there is no hanging around waiting to advertise your wares.
