Retail Report

Today we are part of a new lifestyle, asking for simple but worthwhile products. We could call it the Apple generation. Give me a product that is trendy, beautiful, powerful, and innovative but easy to use. It needs to work out of the box. Trixi™ adds instant gratification to a consumer’s home.

MiniFamous™ Calibrachoa and Trixi™ go hand in hand. Only one of the 17 Trixi™ recipes is without MiniFamous™. MiniFamous™ Calibrachoa is one of the reasons why Trixi™ is so different than all other multi-liner programs out there.

From a consumer point of view, Trixi™ offers a new look for mixed baskets and containers.

Now you are not talking about a mix of purple, red, and orange or trying to pronounce the difficult botanical name Calibrachoa. No, you just say, "This is Caribbean Cocktail, a Trixi™."

It doesn’t take lots of different varieties and crops per basket to impress at retail. Less is more, and quality and color are what sells a basket. Trixi™ helps you to sell more for a better margin.

Each Trixi™ mix has a unique name and a reason why we named it as we did. Check out the 2010/11 mixes and make sure to include Trixi™ into your 2011 retail program!
