Light bone against a dark backdrop
White bone looks its best against something dark, so give this small pruner a black or dark wood stand, or a slate-coloured shelf card:
- Pair it with its black horn twin of the same size, one light and one dark, so customers compare colour rather than price.
- Place it at the front of the pruning section; the pale 8.5 cm handle catches the eye from the aisle.
- Add a small card explaining the curved butt and the pulling cut.
- Before Mother's Day and spring garden events, move a few to the gift table.
A compact serpette knife in bone often sells as a present first and a tool second.
