Swiss men spend CHF 787 annually in DIY and garden stores. This compares with a spend of CHF 663 for women. Moreover, as reported by Perspektive, a magazine, 22 per cent of respondents plan to spend even more money on their garden and DIY projects in future. The magazine bases its report on an online survey by Marketagent.com, a Zurich market research company. This involved questioning some 1 000 respondents aged between 14 to 65 years in the German-speaking and western areas of Switzerland about their preferences when shopping for garden or DIY products.
