Planting Stories: September 2008
http://plantingstories.blogspot.com/2008_09_01_archive.html
Monday, 15 September 2008. Lessons from the outside world. As a publicist and writer I get to play a part in the promotion of all kinds of internationally marketed products. From electronic goods to sports shoes to business IT services to human resources, plus of course plants and horticulture-related items. This exposure to other markets sets examples of what businesses in the horticulture industry can and should be doing to remain competitive in a rapidly changing market. Posted by Miriam Young.

Planting Stories: Plant Concierge - A new project for a new era
http://plantingstories.blogspot.com/2008/10/plant-concierge-new-project-for-new-era.html
Tuesday, 21 October 2008. Plant Concierge - A new project for a new era. It seems the whole world is stuck in limbo waiting for the current financial turmoil to settle. Being without direction is never comfortable and we’re all anxious to know what shape our lives will take in the aftermath of all this. So while many are still waiting and wondering, I’m seizing the moment to initiate a new project that will tune in with modern day lifestyles and bring gardening to the people. A project that wil...Plant C...

Planting Stories: Can’t Garden? Won’t Garden? Get a neighbour to do it for you!
http://plantingstories.blogspot.com/2010/06/cant-garden-wont-garden-get-neighbour.html
Wednesday, 23 June 2010. Get a neighbour to do it for you! Summer has arrived and the garden is flourishing. Or is that just the weeds? For the gardening enthusiasts in our community, summer is showtime. But for those of us whose fingers aren’t so green or just aren’t into digging dirt, summer can be a real chore. All that mowing, weeding, cutting back – it never ends and the lawn still looks more like a recently vacated campsite than a bowling green. These people might also turn out to be the teachers w...

Planting Stories: August 2009
http://plantingstories.blogspot.com/2009_08_01_archive.html
Tuesday, 11 August 2009. Navigating the Internet Marketing Jungle. It started with websites and email. Then, just as all us non-IT geeks got to grips with those, social media and all things Web 2.0 started to emerge. Within a short time the internet has become abundant with communication opportunities, but the success story headlines have led to confusion and misunderstanding about what’s really practical and effective when it comes to promoting a business. Easy if you’ve got plenty of interesting ...

Planting Stories: July 2009
http://plantingstories.blogspot.com/2009_07_01_archive.html
Friday, 17 July 2009. In search of plant brands. In an age where running shoes are sold for their iPod-compatibility and wine is marketed to appeal to computer geeks, the horticulture industry also needs to look beyond its traditional boundaries to inspire a broader consumer audience. But are plant suppliers offering retailers marketing programs that do this? And are retailers receptive to such ideas? I’m therefore looking for examples of UK-available lifestyle-oriented plant brands to help me illu...

Monday, 21 September 2009. Tell them the Story. In an age where running shoes are sold for their iPod-compatibility and wine is marketed to appeal to computer geeks, what can the horticulture industry do to broaden its boundaries? To influence today’s consumers, we need to connect with the non-gardening aspects of people’s lives. And that means taking a fresh look at everything from pot tags to jumping on the social media bandwagon. Posted by Miriam Young. Links to this post. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).
