Marketing And Display Ideas From Sakata, Greenex And Hem Genetics [Slideshow]

Candy Showers snapdragon series from Sakata. The display is playful, colorful and appeals to the stomach.

Sakata had a prototype grocery cart hanger for potted plants on display. They would like for these to become a standard at grocery stores across the country so it encourages much higher potted plant sales.

The hanging pots display for Sakata’s Color Max viola series intro – another idea for merchandising at the store level that consumers can mimic at home on their patios or decks.

This is a demo to show how compact Sakata’s Calipetite series really is.

According to SunPatiens breeder Mark Seguin, a very high-end spa in Brazil has changed from using floating rose petals in its fountains and pools to SunPatiens petals because they last a full week instead of a couple days. Sakata was testing at Trials to see if the petals actually do last that long. We were there early in the week, so the jury is still out.

Sakata had some fun with the pallet trend by painting them in vivid colors and suspending them with ropes. These were ready for Pinterest-worthy photos.

Another merchandising idea from Sakata that will be popular with consumers: the floral mannequin.

Sakata is on a campaign to get consumers to mix ornamental plants with vegetables in their gardens and containers.

This is a great impulse-buy rack from Greenex. It stocks mini kalanchoes in tiny sleeves, making the blooms resemble popcorn, mini orchids and our favorite: mini kalanchoe gift boxes.

The How Low Can You Grow campaign from Hem Genetics is a fun slogan to promote its various compact series.

This lime-green spiral shelf makes a wow statement.
