How We Help

We’re passionate about businesses.

We have tailored our mentoring, consulting, marketing, and IT services with independent businesses in mind. Helping our clients achieve a professional business at an affordable rate.

Mentoring & Consulting

With over 35 years of experience managing and owning independent retail businesses within Australia, Hilton & Tracy Blake are equipped to work with you in achieving your business’ goals.

Marketing

In our years of working with garden centres we found marketing was often put in the too hard or too expensive basket. We work with you to achieve not only professional but affordable marketing.

Networking

Gro Networking was started in 2016 with the simple idea of networking garden retailers together, all while assisting members to achieve an affordable and professional image. Results happen.

Planning for Success in 2025

By |January 16, 2025|

Welcome to 2025, with January being one of the quietest months in retail Hilton & Tracy speak about making the most of the time by planning for a year of success.

Instead of putting effort into driving sales in the quieter months of retail, taking time to plan your promotions for the year ahead. We believe it is one of the best ways you can spend the time. As a business you would prefer to see an increase of sales by 10% in your busiest time, so why not work towards that.
