Taylors showcased display ideas at Glee 2019 to avoid the “hang it and hope” display technique. There were plenty of hints and tips for marketing and merchandising opportunities of a quality bulb display.

The success of the novelty ceramic gifts continues and the bestselling Hedgehog Planter has been joined by the Sausage Dog and Llama planters for Autumn 2019. 

Also on display was the eye-catching Chilli shaped ceramic planter alongside the bestselling Chilli Fire bucket.  Taylors are also introducing a Sheep planter with mint seeds for Spring 2020, growing the perfect accompaniment for that Sunday roast on the windowsill!

Ian Clark of Taylors Bulbs said “Garden retailers are adding increasing amounts of style and finesse to their bulb gift displays, action that leads to sales increases and the last place we want to see the bulb gifts is at ankle height or with the packs that are for garden planting.  Many of the gift kits are for growing indoors and are more suited to a houseplant style of display.  We would always encourage our garden retail customers to separate all of the added value gifts and kits from the garden bulb display.”  The volume sales for the Autumn/Christmas bulb gift offer come from amaryllis and Taylors market-leading Premium Amaryllis continue to accelerate amaryllis sales for their customers.

 Taylors Bulbs are also known for their expertise in seed potatoes and their range of over 50 varieties available in 2kg carripacks, bulk sacks for loose sale or in their market-leading "Taster" pre-packs.  Seed Potato deliveries in December are high on the agenda for Taylors Bulbs when taking orders for Spring 2020, with an increasing number of garden retailers getting their grow-your-own spring displays organised over the Christmas holiday period.  The deliveries of seed potatoes, onions and veg in December are on the rise. 

Ian Clark added; "The success of the December delivery continues and we know a lot of customers who are also looking to take a December delivery in order to fill the space vacated by the Christmas display. The benefits come when the spring gardening season starts as soon as the new year begins and the display is all set-up and ready for the keen grow-your-own gardener who visits over the new year.”
