Help get new gardeners prepped for spring by showing them how to plant bulbs in the fall. The below video from Garden Answer provides a thorough walkthrough on the process, but sharing blogs like this one from American Meadows is also helpful.
Incorporate These Tips Into Label Designs
Design a label with a QR code or NFC technology to link your customers to helpful information. Alternatively, incorporate one line tips into the packaging design. For shy gardeners who don’t ask for assistance, or gardeners who aren’t otherwise aware, this information will spark their curiosity. Plus, the more accessible you make this information, the more useful you are to your customers. If you order in bulbs, adding another small label with this information is ideal.
Get Gardeners Prepped With Individual Consultations
Some gardeners will not know where to plant their bulbs. Even when given instructions, they won’t know how much sun is full sun. So, help them out by offering quick, personalized consultations. All you would need from them are cell phone images of their planting spots in the morning and afternoon. They could send you these images via:
- Facebook Messenger and other social media direct messaging
- A custom consultation app created for your greenhouse/nursery
Provide a time frame that they can expect to hear back from you – preferably within 24 hours if possible, then follow through. This not only creates a bond between your business and your customers, but it provides value that other growers are not offering. Edge out your competition and get direct feedback from the people that matter most to your business.
