Best approach to showcasing a new product for garden centres?

Does anyone have any advice on the best approach to showcasing a new product for garden centres please? The product is 3 versions of an outdoor Garden Fireplace and it's fairly heavy. We are maybe looking to organise a small lorry with a display on the back to take to appointments so people can see them in person but if anyone has any advice on how best to approach this / any process you must follow etc it would be much appreciated! Thank you in advance

This is a brilliant solution, and I have seen it work for wholesale plants. The key is to have appointments with qualified decision makers, and get them to bring the influencers in their organizations with them to look. Take command of the time and space and grab control of distraction. Consider offering coffee/tea and a quality pastry or dessert item depending upon the time of day. Ask for feedback but in the form of when and how they will do business. Suggestions for product improvement are endless and delay buying decisions. Luck is when preparation meets opportunity. Best of luck to you!
