GrowIt! - Growth & NWF Effort
by Danny Summers
This week GrowIt! guru, Seth Reed shared details of their app usage growth last month. Here's the details on the app user growth.
April was our best month EVER!
We saw over 90,000 people log in to GrowIt! to find great plants, have plants identified, ask questions, and connect with other people that love plants. That brings our total member base to over 340,000. Engagement is high right now, this is the best time join our Garden Shop Program on GrowIt!. Spending as little as 15 minutes a week adding plants or answering questions can keep your content fresh and help you connect with the next generation of gardeners.
Crushing the Google Play Store
This week we became the 5th most popular app on Google Play's "House and Home" list. We even beat out Houzz! This is where people are going to find gardening help. Isn't it exciting that the only gardening app representing IGC's is this popular?
We are the only gardening app garnering this level of attention from consumers. Your customers and community are looking for apps like GrowIt! to find great plants to buy and grow. Join our Garden Shop Program and let GrowIt! promote you.
Also, the article link below gives details of a new initiative between GrowIt! and The National Wildlife Federation (NWF) that should attract even more users. Here's the details:
GrowIt! Teams Up with National Wildlife Federation
We are excited to announce that we are teaming up with the National Wildlife Federation to help promote the Garden for Wildlife initiative.
Our gardens often play a much bigger role than we know. When we see a squirrel, or a butterfly in our yard we often think of them as a visitor…when in reality we’re the real visitors! Our garden is part of THEIR ecosystem!
We’re working with the National Wildlife Federation to help show the GrowIt! community and all of North America how they can have a beautiful garden, while promoting a healthy ecosystem. Gardeners can create a full habitat in their garden by providing food, water, shelter, and a place to raise young.
Our goal is to inspire more people to think about wildlife when they are out in the garden. We’re asking people to capture pictures of critters in their yard, and post them to GrowIt! with the hashtag #Garden4Wildlife to show others how they can also work to be better stewards of the environment.
