Retailers invited to help garden consultants pick best new products

The Garden Center Group has announced it will be in search of the best new products for retail at three leading trade shows this winter: MANTS 2015, in Baltimore, TPIE 2015, in Ft. Lauderdale, and New England GROWS, in Boston.

All retailers are invited to participate with The Garden Center Group to help discover the best new products for retail at each event.

“It is an exciting experience to join other retailers in this challenge to find the hottest new products. Participants gather together at the opening of each show for instructions before they peruse the show floor individually at their own pace to find and evaluate new products," said Danny Summers, Managing Director of The Garden Center Group. "Later in the afternoon the evaluation group meets to compare and combine notes for award nominations. Participants have the benefit of many perspectives, much more than they could do on their own. Plus, the added bonus of networking with other retailers in the process.”

Dates set are “The Best of MANTS,” January 14, “Cool Product Awards” of TPIE, January 21 to 22, and “Retailers’ Choice Awards” of New England GROWS,  February 4 to 5.
