Two new merchandiser units will be revealed that have been designed specifically for garden centres. This includes a garden/ironmongery and a garden stand, both available in one and two metre options. These stands have been designed with the garden centres in mind allowing them to exhibit all items required for garden care, whether it is garden accessories or a hinge/lock for gates/sheds. Both units are available with a standard Gardening header or a bespoke header can be supplied to suit individual garden centre needs. They are supplied with a rear illuminated head unit and halogen downlighting system encouraging customers to browse the display. Centurion Europe’s dedicated merchandising team can recommend top selling products to be featured within the merchandiser units, as part of helping garden centres to maximise their sales of these essential accessories.
Also on display will be the Click ‘n’ Store floor standing rotary merchandising stand. This merchandiser has been designed to house ‘impulse buy’ products which it is proven to enhance sales of everyday hardware accessories.
Centurion Europe will also be demonstrating its 2011 Gardening Supplier catalogue, which now contains the popular Initial Monogram range of house plaques, following the company’s acquisition of the business in 2010. Since acquiring the business, Centurion Europe has continued to invest in the range and will shortly be revealing exciting new packaging designed to further enhance sales for its customers.
Within the Initial Monogram range, Centurion Europe is offering for the first time Gloss Black as an exciting new finish for its Oval Plaques and Numbered Plaque range. These additions to Initial Monogram range, which already includes wood-effect, pewter-effect, white, bronze-effect and glass-effect, is set to enhance the range even further.
Paul Kantecki, Managing Director at Centurion Europe, explains: “We are continually seeking to enhance our offering to garden trade customers.
