💡 How this works: Fill in the details below and Sage will generate your content in the chat window. Copy and paste it into Word, Google Docs, or any planning tool you use. No need for full sentences — bullet points and short notes work great.
Step 1 — Your Store & Upcoming Season
Small independent — under 5,000 sq ft Mid-size independent — 5,000 to 20,000 sq ft Large destination center — over 20,000 sq ft Greenhouse-based retail Farm market or mixed retail
Early spring — pansies, bulbs, first color Spring peak — Mother's Day and Memorial Day Summer — tropicals, annuals, veggies Fall — mums, pansies, ornamental kale Holiday & Christmas — trees, wreaths, poinsettias Year-round planning Specific event or sale week
Step 2 — Your Space & Product Mix
Main greenhouse or indoor retail floor Outdoor display yard or lot Entrance or curbside display Register or impulse buy area Seasonal end caps or feature displays Hardgoods and supplies section Event or demo area
Annuals Perennials Shrubs & trees Vegetables & herbs Houseplants & tropicals Succulents Bulbs & seasonal color Native plants Soil, mulch & amendments Fertilizers & pest control Pots & containers Garden décor & accessories Holiday & seasonal decor
Drive impulse purchases at the register Increase average transaction size Introduce a new product category Move seasonal overstock Create a wow factor that draws customers in Make navigation easier for customers Showcase staff expertise Stand out from big-box competitors
✨ A clear seasonal theme makes merchandising decisions easier and gives staff something to talk about with customers.
Step 3 — Staff & Competitive Context
Strong — most staff are knowledgeable Mixed — some experienced, some new Limited — mostly seasonal hires
✨ The more Sage knows about your store, the more specific and actionable the merchandising plan will be.
