glee preview New POSsibilities
from Sankey Visitors to garden centres make many purchasing decisions at Point of Sale (POS). To support independent garden outlets as the growing season kicks in, Sankey has designed new informative and eye-catching Point of Sale material for its core categories: water conservation, composting, grow-your-own and garden décor. The new POS material is part of Sankey’s extensive rebranding programme that encompasses increased support for garden centres. By assisting them in offering advice, guidance and tips to gardeners, Sankey helps create value and loyalty amongst customers. The new POS material is based around the ‘Growing With You’ theme where Sankey provides advice for successful gardening and highlights key product features and environmental benefits. Brand manager, Claire Matthewman, says, “As a British company with 155 years heritage we wanted our new branding to reflect our history of environmental awareness by educating customers to the benefits of Sankey’s products. From composting to using UK produced recycled products, we are keen to continue our commitment to environmental sustainability by supporting gardeners to make greener choices.” Sankey’s new Point of Sale material includes pallet wraps and a range of correx boards in all key categories.
