Gardenality is an information-based, interactive website all about landscaping and gardening. Both gardeners and green industry-related businesses are allowed to join Gardenality, for free. From the beginning, the intention of the Gardenality Founders was to bring home gardeners together with the experts and suppliers of gardening-related products.
Read on to find out how things are going so far, and how your company can become a part of and benefit from the Gardenality revolution...
Gardenality BETA was launched in 2011. During the test drive it has experienced organic growth resulting in over 8,000+ registered Gardenality.com members, over 10, 000+ Twitter® Followers, 4,100+ Facebook Likes and a 1,200 and growing Pinterest community following as of June 2013.
Traffic to Gardenality has been quite remarkable considering it has been all organic, with no SEO. During 2013 there has been an average of 40,000 unique visitors and 150,000 page views per week. Members and visitors to Gardenality are using the site to find gardening information, create Virtual Gardens, ask and find answers to questions in Ask Experts and, last but not least: to use the "Where to Buy" source links on Gardenality Plant Files to find the plants they need to accomplish their gardening projects. Product Files are coming in 2014!
During the BETA, Team Gardenality has used two companies to test the “Where To Buy” source links found on many of the Gardenality Plant Files. Each of these companies created a Gardenality Business Profile and then added their profiles/businesses as “Where To Buy” sources on many Gardenality Plant Files.
Wilson Bros Nursery (land-based, McDonough, GA)
As of August 1, 2013, the Wilson Bros Nursery & Garden Center Gardenality Business Profile had received 142,243 page views, resulting in substantially increased sales at their land-based location. For example, Wilson Bros Nursery & Garden Center sold 72 pallets in one year of a commercial-grade lawn fertilizer based on traffic to this "Do-It-Yourself Lawn Care Program page, which was published in their Gardenality profile!
GardenerDirect.com (online nursery)
During 2012 and 2013, over 70% of the traffic to GardenerDirect.com came directly from visitors who clicked on the “Where To Buy” links on Gardenality Plant Files. GardenerDirect.com has experienced over 100% growth from 2012 to 2013.
So, Gardenality is actually exceeding what its founders intended. Not only is Gardenality providing accurate gardening information it has proven to help its members and visitors find local and online sources for the plants and products they need to accomplish their gardening projects.
For Gardenality to provide a true turnkey gardening experience to its ever-growing, worldwide base of members we must identify and establish relationships with the best of the best companies in the green industry, who make the best products and provide the best services.
