Pallet Bay Steals the show at the Garden Centre Conference and Expo

Attendees said it was “the sharpest and brightest display they’ve ever seen.”

In a venue that blends medieval charm with modern architecture, we brought something unexpected: retail tech that actually makes people stop and stare.

Held at Convene Sancroft, St. Paul’s, surrounded by the historic pulse of Paternoster Square, the event was a melting pot of tradition and innovation. And right in the middle of it? Pallet Bay, our unapologetically bold solution for DIY and garden centre retail.

Before we even stepped into the venue, Skratch was already turning heads. We were recently featured in Garden Centre Retail Magazine, capturing the attention of industry leaders with our forward-thinking approach to experiential retail.

Behind the Scenes: One Display to Rule Them All

In preparation for the show, we held an insane number of meetings. The pressure was on — space was tight, and we could only bring one demonstrator. After bouncing around ideas, Gavin Wright, our Director of Operations, made the call:

"Let’s showcase Pallet Bay — one of the most powerful revenue drivers for DIY and Garden retail.”

And that was it. Decision made. No backup plan. Just one bold display ready to steal the spotlight.

Here’s what it does (and does it brightly):

Multi-buy Savings: Flash deals that tempt customers to grab more than they planned.
Seasonal Spotlighting: Compost, turf, bark — suddenly they’re not just stacked, they’re selling.
Dynamic Incentives: Promotions that shift in real time, reacting to weather, stock levels, and customer behaviour.

Flexibility is the secret weapon. Promotions can be tweaked instantly:

Rainy week? Push compost.
Overstocked bark? Promote it.
Low stock? Pull the offer.

No delays. No missed opportunities. Just retail tech that moves with the moment.

We didn’t just bring pallet bay — we brought interaction. Our Countertop Touchscreen display featured a ‘Botanic Buddies’ matching pairs game that had guests queuing up to play and win prizes.

What’s Next?

If your retail space still relies on static signage, or basic digital displays and crossed fingers, it’s time to evolve. Pallet Bay isn’t just a display — it’s a retail revolution.
