The Revolution: Use Your Loyalty Program Wisely
http://tgcrevolution.blogspot.com/2010/09/use-your-loyalty-program-wisely.html
Friday, September 24, 2010. Use Your Loyalty Program Wisely. I have a great example of a way to use your loyalty program to add benefit to your customer. And, it takes a negative event and spins it positively toward your store. My son's formula was recently recalled by Similac. Which made me upset and angry (it had bugs in it, which also grosses me out to no end). The recall made the news on the web Wednesday night (Sept. 23). In the last 18 months and what to do with it. Post it in the comments below!

Trees make a difference globally. Tuesday, February 10, 2015. By America in Bloom. In a recent article in The Atlantic, Robinson Meyer wrote "The best Technology for fighting Climate Change? Trees" http:/ www.citylab.com/weather/2015/02/the-best-technology-for-fighting-climate-change-trees/385309/ . This long range solution might appear to be the simplest yet possible over looked option.

The Revolution: December 2009

Tuesday, December 15, 2009. Inherent Laws of Retail Plant Sales. Law No. 6: The Customer (continued). The coupon is the lone reason behind a customer's wanting of a particular item(s). If they can't use the coupon, they won't buy the product. A customer will complain about the price of a small plant and will often not buy a small plant, but will be more than willing to pay twice as much for a plant twice the size. Links to this post.

The Revolution: November 2010
http://tgcrevolution.blogspot.com/2010_11_01_archive.html
Tuesday, November 23, 2010. This might be a bit of a rant, but I can't figure out why people are still all about Cyber Monday. It used to be a big deal a couple of years ago, when dial-up still ruled and people spent the Monday after Black Friday shopping online. The theory went that most people had a much better Internet connection at work than they did at home (and therefore spent Monday shopping online, much to the chagrin of HR directors everywhere). So the question remains: why wait until Monday?

The Revolution: Mobile Shopping
http://tgcrevolution.blogspot.com/2010/09/mobile-shopping.html
Wednesday, September 29, 2010. But it's pretty much here. According to an article in The Dallas Morning News. More and more retailers are using mobile apps as a way to entice customers to buy more while they are in the stores. We've always said garden center retailers aren't just competing against other garden retailers and box stores, but also against any retailer that trades in discretionary income (i.e. restaurants, salons and spas, gaming and tech retailers, etc.).

The Revolution: Bellagio Conservatory Transformation
http://tgcrevolution.blogspot.com/2010/09/bellagio-conservatory-transformation.html
Tuesday, September 28, 2010. The horticultural crew at the Bellagio hotel in Las Vegas change over the conservatory there five times a year. I've always been enamored with the conservatory, as they just do an absolutely beautiful job. I've seen it at least three times, and it's always been stunning. I think my favorite was the Monet display, with a ton of spring bulbs and a Japanese footbridge. Here's a video of its most recent transformation from summer into fall, and a story about it. I Wet My Plants.

Friday, July 24, 2009. Great Story About Independents In BusinessWeek. BusinessWeek recently celebrated the best independent retailers in the country with a slideshow story. It's a nice piece that highlights why people love independent retailers, but I was a little sad that it didn't include any garden centers. Check out the story here: http:/ images.businessweek.com/ss/09/06/0619 best independent stores/1.htm. Links to this post. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Blog, The Revolution! Garden Centers Of America.

Monday, November 30, 2009. Inherent Laws of Retail Plant Sales. Law No. 4: Probables. The most topsoil and mulch will be sold on days just after a heavy rain. The approximate time a customer will "Just set these four flats on the counter while I take a quick look around" will be slightly longer than the time of the mad rush, in which there is never enough counter space. Next week: The Customer. Links to this post. Monday, November 23, 2009. Inherent Laws of Retail Plant Sales. Do you work here? Senior ci...
