British garden equipment brand Webb Garden Power, part of the Handy family of brands, is raising its profile amongst three key demographics this year through a comprehensive, strategic marketing programme.
Y
oung professionals aged 26–36; families with parents, aged 30–46; and retired people over 60 years of age have been
identified as core customer groups for the Webb brand. Specific Webb personas and value propositions have been created for these three demographics, all under the ‘Create Your Perfect Garden’ campaign theme. At the heart of the theme is this key messaging: At Webb, we understand that every gardener is unique, with his or her own style and vision. Your garden tells your story; we just make sure you have the right tools to create it beautifully. For the perfectionist, curators, outdoor entertainers, and everyone in between.

Campiagn insights Sales & Marketing Director at Handy, Mark Moseley, shares insights on the new Webb marketing strategy: “Webb has long been recognised as a trusted British brand, known for its dark green branding and quality, especially among older gardening enthusiasts. Following extensive research, going forward we aim to continue to support this target market but also to reach out to younger sectors. Last year, we introduced the Webb Eco cordless range, designed to meet the needs of modern gardeners – and the response has been good. “Cordless machinery is one of the fastest-growing trends in the garden sector, and we’re proud that Webb now offers a comprehensive line-up across cordless, electric, and petrol – a true one-brand solution for all types of gardeners. Our refreshed marketing approach reflects this versatility and is already delivering results, with e-commerce sales up 52 percent year-on-year. Our top- performing product is the new Webb 43cm Cordless Lawnmower, closely followed by two of our petrol models – proof that while cordless is popular, petrol remains a strong and essential part of the mix.”
