Increased Sales

Our sales staff never felt comfortable "selling" the four products we recommend for planting. This resulted in only 1 or 2 prouducts being recommended. Since using Planting Pal, we are consistently recommending *and selling* more amendments than ever before.

Stop Under-Recommending

The fact is we we're doing our customers a disservice by under-recommending amendments. We would recommend a 12lb fertilizer when they really needed a 25lb bag. Planting Pal made it easy. There's no more guessing how much and what size bag to recommend.

Consistent Recommendations

All my customers getting the same planting recommendation from every employee is powerful. Consistency gives the customer confidence to buy what we recommend. We did countless hours of training and used complicated worksheets to figure out how much to recommend. Planting Pal saves us valuable time (no more worksheets!) and makes sure everyone from the sales team to the cashier is recommending the same thing.

Go Mobile

Having the amendment calculator and shopping list on mobile has been a game changer. Not only can my sales team get instant product recommendations - my customers can too! We've taught our customers to use Planting Pal so they can 'self-help' in our busy time. A lot of customers actually prefer it.

Our Story

We've been in the industry our whole lives.  With 50+ years running a 3rd generation garden center, 10+ years running a fertilizer company, and hosting gardening TV & radio shows - we've been able to work with customers and garden centers across the country. Across the nation, we saw customers struggling to find what planting amendments to buy and how to use them while garden centers were challenged to give consistent and accurate product recommendations.   Seeing these same challenges across the country, we decided to do something about it.

In our own garden center, we did extensive staff training on amendment rates, but that didn't work. The math and memorization was too complicated and seasonal employees never caught on. Next we tried amendment worksheets - write down the number of plants, multiply by each products' specific multiplier and you get how much to recommend. This was better, but still the math was a problem and it took too darn long. Finally, we decided to go mobile and it worked! We've continued to develop and share this tool with garden centers across the country with huge success.
