IncrediGrow Garden Centre provides innovative and engaging marketing support for all stores, both regionally and market-specific, with internal store programs, media buying, product features and Limited Time Offer’s, as well as value conscious promotions. We advertise on targeted media including online, radio and print. In addition we maintain a strong presence on social media. Our message is consistent with the IncrediGrow Garden Centre brand with a focus on high quality, more variety & better value as well as a sense of humour.

Features And Promotions

Our marketing team creates quarterly and yearly strategic plans for each market. These plans include product specific limited time offers (LTO’s) that are researched to catch industry trends and lead the indoor gardening tier in value conscious product offerings. Typically, two LTO’s are run per year. Eye-catching graphics with complimentary photography are produced for in-store placement that encourage guests to take part in the feature. These offers provide excitement for the returning guest, as well as capture new guests with trendy new products!

Our Operations team provides exceptional training guides for these features to ensure IncrediGrow Garden Centre’s ongoing commitment to quality. Stores are encouraged to take part in seasonal holidays, supported with weekend or week-long offers (Valentine’s Day, Father’s Day, Canada Day, Halloween and Christmas, to name a few) and in store contests.
