E-Commerce Connect™ Cooperative Marketing Program
We’re proud to introduce the E-Commerce Connect™ Cooperative Marketing Program, designed to help independent garden centers promote their new drop-shipping capabilities inside their stores. This initiative provides professionally printed materials — including banners, bench cards, posters, and signage — that inform shoppers their local nursery now offers an Endless Aisle, allowing customers to browse and purchase far beyond in-store inventory while still supporting the retailer they trust.
In partnership with Sunrise Marketing, members can access curated E-Commerce Connect™ Kits created specifically for garden centers, making it easy to deploy polished in-store promotions without starting from scratch. The Core Kit starts at $99 and includes essential items to introduce online ordering, with Willoway Nurseries contributing $25 toward kits for members. Together, this co-op program equips retailers with the tools to educate customers, drive awareness, and confidently bridge the in-store experience with online convenience.
