Review on Al's Garden & Home by Eddie Shields

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Brighten your environment with ideas

Home Depot is the number one choice for people looking to do their own home repairs or improvement projects. It shouldn't come as a surprise to anyone that there are other companies out there who are just as much, if not more successful than Home Depot in various categories.

One of the many categories that have become very competitive over the past few years is garden tools and supplies. One place where you can buy almost any type of garden tool or plant supplies online is Al's Garden & Home . This company specializes in providing all types of gardening and nature based products at prices that compete with amazon.com - which is impressive for a smaller ecommerce business like this one.

AL'S GARDEN & HOME: DESCRIPTION

Al's Garden & Home is a smaller company when compared to the big guys like Amazon and eBay, but this isn't stopping them from marketing their products in many different locations. Their website for example has been optimized with descriptive and high quality content that makes it rank very well in organic search results - just like amazon.com and ebay.com do:

Their product listing pages also have an advantage over amazon because of how they're designed - most visitors won't even notice that they're on a small ecommerce site:

Niche Selection

Al's Garden & Home specializes in various types of garden tools and supplies. This includes traditional items such as gloves, bags, wire etc... But also more modern gardening equipment such as solar-powered devices and alternative breeds of popular plants.

This means that whether the customer is looking for something specific, or just browsing around - they will find what they need in one place:

One thing to note about their large selection, is the fact that there's no option to make it more organized such as by category (see ebay) or by brand (see amazon). This might be a downside if you're interested in a particular type of garden tool and have to spend time browsing through different products just because Al' Garden & Home hasn't made an attempt at grouping them together. On the other hand this also has a big advantage - customers who are just 'browsing' can easily discover new items from brands without being restricted to one type of garden product or another.

CUSTOMER SERVICE AND RETURNS



Al's Garden & Home has a reputation for being very reliable in terms of customer service and shipping their products on time. They also have a section dedicated to returns which is a good sign that they work hard to keep customers happy:

PRICES AND AFFORDABILITY Al's Garden & Home offers some of the most affordable prices when it comes to gardening supplies. Their low prices are not just from being an ecommerce company with fewer costs - but also from positioning themselves as 'the online version' of your local garden centers. In other words they focus on keeping their overhead costs low while offering their customers the same types of bargains and sales that you

Al's Garden & Home is a great choice for people looking to buy gardening supplies online. They have competitive prices, fast shipping rates and reliable customer service that will help you feel confident about your purchase.
