Developing new products and its pricingDeveloping new products and its pricing
Service: we create a landscape service in each stores of Botanic. The
objective is to accompany the customers in the development of their garden.
Many garden owners buy qualitative products for their garden, but they
dont have the experience, nor the knowledge, when installing their garden.
Quality of service: when the customer asks for an estimate for a garden to be
installed, first we analyze the request within one week and than inform the
customer. Finally, within 3 days of customers confirmation, a date is set to
launch the project.
Pricing: If people dont buy the plants at Botanic, the price of the project
would be more expensive.
Price will be between 150 and 6 500. Its depends on the level of installation
of the garden.
