PlantScout is profitable for you, the vendor, as well as for the visitors of Dave's Garden, who are your future customers.

Beneficial to you, because you will dramatically increase your website traffic and business sales by participating in PlantScout. We have already had 2,272,448 clickthroughs generated by 617,665 individual purchasers.

Beneficial to our visitors, because those who clickthrough are actually searching to buy the plants in question. Providing the PlantScout service answers the "where-to-buy?" question asked each year by thousands of users, turning them into happy consumers and repeat visitors.

Over the course of the next year, you can expect to tap into this large market of interested buyers and generate hundreds, or even thousands, of new sales.

How much will it cost?

The annual cost to participate is based on the number of products you wish to list. You may choose to include your entire inventory, or a portion of it - whatever makes the most sense for your business.

Tier Price (per year) Maximum Number of Products
Tier 1 $100 1 - 100 products.
Tier 2 $230 101 - 300 products.

How will I list my products?

Our simple PlantScout management interface permits easy entry of your products. If you already know the Latin name of your plants, adding each plant is done in a few keystrokes. Alternatively, we will happily upload your spreadsheet or Word file with your inventory information, for no extra fee. If you have no spreadsheet or file, our staff is ready to retrieve your plant inventory information from your website.

I'm ready! How do I get started?

You may call Dave Whitinger, our founder and sales manager, at 888-468-5739 to signup.

Once your company is enrolled, we will contact you to provide any needed assistance.

Still have questions?

We have an F.A.Q. that answers several more common questions.
