Business Profile for Eagle Creek Nursery & Landscape

B2C, Family-Owned Business, Local Customer-Base

Starting as a tree nursery in the 1920s, Eagle Creek Nursery & Landscape has since expanded services to have a bigger impact on customers’ outdoor living spaces. In addition to a 300-acre plant nursery and garden center, they provide expert landscape design, installation, and maintenance services to the Central Indiana community.

How to Set Better Customer Expectations

Eagle Creek Nursery & Landscape must promote its high-end landscape and hardscape design, installation, maintenance, and consultation without overshadowing its plant nursery and garden center. While there is significant customer overlap of these services, the type of information needed by each audience is different: 

  • Nursery and Garden Center customers want to know about the plant variety and availability, horticultural expertise, gardening tips and best practices, and inventory options at the physical location. 
  • Landscape design and maintenance customers have long-term goals in mind and have a much more in-depth buyer’s journey before they decide to make an investment.

 

Marketing must be pertinent to the season and strategic in crafting the right messaging for the right audience at the right moment.
