Gardening CD-ROM beats off tough competition
The Glee International Garden, Pet and Leisure show enables gardeners to source high-margin products, see the largest range of new product launches, and meet their existing suppliers face-to-face and discover new ones. A team of 15 expert judges representing the garden, pet and leisure industries studied the credentials of more than 280 Glee New Product entries in 14 categories on the eve of the show, selecting as winners the products deemed to have the best potential as next season's best sellers.
The judge’s commented on Complete Gardens CD-ROM, “This winning product has a real synergy between gifts and the garden centre.” The Complete Gardens Plant Selector & Pruning Guide CD-ROM offers plant advice based on lots of criteria, allowing room for gardeners to make their own notes and plant lists. “At £24.95, it makes an excellent gift. There is a huge need for imaginative planting advice and the demonstration CD-ROM showing how it worked would attract strong interest in a garden centre setting. Crucially, it also offers plenty of opportunity for add-on plant sales elsewhere in the garden centre, making it a clear winner.”
Complete Gardens winning formula
To reach their decisions the judging team rated each product entry against a spread of exacting commercial and practical criteria. Considerations included product innovation, design and originality; how well products met consumer needs; and any unique features or technologies setting the product apart from competitors. Products were also judged for quality, fitness for purpose, environmental impact, value for money and a variety of packaging considerations. The British-made interactive garden software from Complete Gardens CD-ROM Ltd helps identify and select plants to suit any aspect of a garden and season. The planting and pruning advice accompanying each plant informs how to grow plants so they thrive and look their best. The product that won the Home and Gift category of the Glee New Products award 2006 has been revised and updated to cope with climate changes, and includes new plant varieties plus 264 drought tolerant plants.
