Hotter days are upon us and we are constantly reading predictions of above average temperatures this summer. Home gardeners will be on the lookout for quality irrigation products to keep their gardens hydrated and looking great for the BBQ season ahead.
Today’s consumer is busy, after a little research online they will usually turn to their favourite retailer for advice on the best watering plan for gardens, lawns and veggie beds at home. They’ll be looking for high quality products that help save time with gardening chores. But what will also be very important in their research is a solution that conserves water and offers strong value for money.
What would you recommend?? Drum roll….. The Gardener Weeper Soak Hose is leading the charge for irrigating plants, conserving precious water (and the wallet too)!
The NZ garden hose market is saturated (no pun intended), with about 600 searches per month online and no end of brands promoting their unique features and benefits. So why should shoppers pick The Gardener Weeper Soak Hose?
Features and benefits:
- Allows water to seep out of tiny pores along its length. Water doesn’t spray everywhere and go to waste. Instead, it allows a water flow rate that’s ideal for the ground and plants to absorb, providing the correct moisture content.
- The water goes directly to the root zone with very low water pressure.
- The hose is effective across many garden layouts; single hedges, veggie gardens, rows of border hedges and so on.
- With two lengths, 15m or 30m, gardeners have the flexibility to connect extra lengths to suit.
- All fittings are included and the wet-strip is generous at 400mm.
- The hose is made from recycled rubber, which is important for today’s eco-conscious consumer.
- Conserves water, with its slow and targeted seepage.
Instore retailer training
Our mission is to help our retailers promote The Gardener brand to their customers. When staff feel comfortable and enthusiastic about promoting a product, sales generally follow.
Our instore staff training has been designed to increase retailer sales, and we have delivered many successful sessions over the past 15 years. Just recently we updated our training content across several top-performing products, including the Weeper Soaker Hose, along with new products, Coco Fibre Potting Mix, Veggie Vine Towers, and Smart Grow Fertiliser.
PrimeHort customer, Oderings Garden Centres, recently ordered 500 Weeper Soaker Hoses and in preparation for a busy season ahead, we are unfolding a training roadshow across Odering stores in the Lower North Island and South Island.
Nicola McKee from Oderings says, “We regularly order the Soaker Hose because our customers love it. Above ground or below it’s an easy, fast to install product. We undertake the training programme from PrimeHort to upskill our staff on the product and it works wonders for sales. We try to be creative about displaying the hoses instore, and one year we created a giant Christmas Tree with them – it really attracted shopper’s attention and generated lots of sales.”
If you think your sales team would benefit from Weeper Soaker Hose training, please get in touch. The sessions take very little time and everyone who attends receives a free 15m hose.
Just like a gin goes with tonic – don’t forget the supporting irrigation products to promote this summer including The Gardener 4 Piece Hose Set, the full range of Garden Hoses and the All Metal Hose Hanger. This hose hanger is respected for its thick steel durability and will outlast its plastic counterparts.
