We Pride Ourselves
On Growing Quality Nursery Stock.
To ensure its success, we need a quality partner — you, the Independent Retailer. You provide the value, expertise, and personal touch that a consumer needs, and a big box store can’t provide. You provide planting instructions and discuss watering techniques. You inquire about plant location, sun vs. shade, soil condition, pruning, and Hardiness Zone information. Mass merchandisers can’t dedicate their sales staff to this type of individual customer service.
Our Competitors May Be
Selling To The Big Box Stores,
who then undercut your prices with the same stock, but you can rest assured that won’t happen with the Pennsylvania Pride Brand from Eaton Farms.
The Depots, Marts & Bull’s Eyes
Serve A Great Purpose In The Retail World.
But by diluting their focus and trying to be all things to all people, they are unable to be true experts in the one area you are exceptional at — nursery sales & support. Their goal is to unload marginal, mass-produced items, or cheaply priced private label stock as quickly as possible with no thought to service after the sale. This is the key to surpassing them ... service and support.
Your customers expect more from you.
They expect premium quality nursery stock that will survive the first winter, and not have to be returned, exchanged, and replanted in the spring. They expect to pay more to get more. They expect expert advice. They expect that what they’re about to buy has been properly grown and cared for. And, they expect a more diverse selection, including topiary and specialty trees and shrubs. They expect and believe that their local, independent garden center will know them and take a personal interest in them and in the successful growth of their landscape.
