PlantAmerica

Does an independent retail garden center need a web site? The short answer is, “yes!” According the Grapevine Survey, published by the American Nursery & Landscape Association, over three quarters of all gardeners own a personal computer and nearly 70% of these households have Internet access. Put simply, your customers are online and you need to be there for them with your name, reputation, and goods and services. PlantAmerica believes that the goal of a web site should be to increase in-store purchases, where you receive full profit and have the opportunity to generate add-on sales.

With a cost-effective PlantAmerica web site, you can:

• Promote your brand, your location(s), and your hours of operation to current and potential customers 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.
• Keep your customers coming back for the most comprehensive gardening information resource on the web.
• Publish photos of special plants, seasonal retail displays, or examples of plants in use.
• Post photographs and descriptions of your staff, their certifications, interests, and areas of expertise.
• Provide a means for current and potential customers to contact you via e-mail, with your own branded e-mail (e.g. [email protected]).
• Promote your landscape, wholesale, or re-wholesale division, as well as the products and special events you offer at your garden center.
• Generate additional revenue through an e-commerce program.
