This birdhouse and birdbath statue is a great way to add a beautiful accessory to your garden that also provides functionality. The wood aesthetic is a beautiful way for the item to blend in with the natural elements of the garden. For customers who also love gardens full of buzzing bees, hopping rabbits, and chirping birds, this is the ideal item. Promote alongside pollinator plants and even berry bearing trees birds love.

Use Labels to Highlight Other Products That Go With Your Garden Statues

Each kind of statue has different selling points. So, highlight what makes your statues unique by creating labels that inspire. Also, add pictures of a landscape full of complimentary flowers, or even recommendations for what blooms suit the color scheme of the piece. Then, share other products that match the aesthetic of the garden statue for a cohesive garden altogether.

A booklet-style label offers expanded content allowing you, the greenhouse, nursery or garden center, to provide even more information on the product. It also provides space to add a QR code to a video talking about caring for your statue, discussing the zen gardening trend, or even what birds live in the area and what seeds they prefer. Take advantage of the space and make it even easier to learn to create beautiful garden space.

Offer Unique Consultations For Your Garden Statues

Shopping for art is a big task to undertake. So, here are a few events and ongoing ideas that are easy to put together and ideal to promote on your labels for exposure.

Personal Social Media Recommendations

Add a hashtag to your labels, that is checked regularly, where customers can upload their space. In return, they are sent recommendations of statues offered in store that match their garden’s aesthetic. Something simple like #BusinessNameStatueRec is ideal because it’s easy to remember. It’s also not a hashtag other businesses will use ensuring every post is meant for you. Instead of waiting for customers to connect in-store, be proactive.

Livestream a Webinar Tour of Various Products

Host a webinar right from your phone to highlight your seasonal offerings. Set a scene with plants and accessories to inspire customers and also show them what is aesthetically pleasing. While this approach lacks a personal touch, it is a one-time (or maybe even a seasonal thing) with a visual impact. Plus, your customers will always be able to go back and access the livestream as the season progresses.

Create an App For That

Are you a particularly tech-y business? Create an app where customers can punch in the plants they have in their garden to receive personalized recommendations. Or, create a webpage that offers a simple quiz with the same purpose. This can always be updated to match statues and even accessories currently in stock.

In-Store Consultations

Alternatively, do things the old fashioned way. So, invite customers to bring in pictures or video of their gardens. Or, send a consultant out to visit them. This makes the process even more accessible for the older crowd who may not find technology easy to manage. It also provides help when your store isn’t wheelchair accessible. So, consider all customer needs and again, also be more proactive.
