In season
Article Abstract:
It is natural for home improvement retailers' lawn & garden departments to replace green goods with holiday decorations in the fall. That is a reasonable strategy but one that should be extended to other seasons, because seasonal opportunities exist throughout the year. National Gardening Assn research director Bruce Butterfield suggests that lawn & garden retailers cushion seasonal variations by suggesting projects to customers. Projects such as planting perennials and edging flower beds can be suggested.

Why auto?
Article Abstract:
Home center stores and hardware stores need to understand that the automotive aftermarket consists of more than batteries and hard parts in order to generate significant profits from auto supply sales. Appearance chemicals and accessories, windshield products, lubricants, polishes and wax sales capture a big share of the automotive aftermarket. Hardlines retailers need to cross-merchandise auto supplies with the rest of their product mix to increase their selling power.
