Spruce Water Feature: three products that create a water featureAfter my �rst trade show with Spruce Home and Garden, I discovered the large oversized bowls were not selling well. I thendecided to create a family of products (water globe & double duty planters) around the oversized bowls that can be sold separately or assembled together. The result was a 50% percent increase in the oversized bowls.
