Why print works for garden centers & nurseries
Garden centers and nurseries live on a sharp seasonal calendar, the spring planting rush, plus fall and holiday peaks, and print reaches local gardeners right as the season turns. Its visual appeal sells plants and projects, and home, lifestyle and weekend sections reach the homeowner and gardening audience. A keepable ad with seasonal arrivals and an offer pulls shoppers in during the narrow windows that make the year.
