For the first time in years we’ve had busy garden centre trading right from the turn of the year. Hooray!
Now, as we reach the half year, you can give your retail teams a boost by getting your customers to vote for them as one of The Greatest Teams in garden centre retailing.
Between now and mid-day on Monday June 30th your customers can vote in-store or on-line for your teams in The Greatest Garden Centre Team and The Greatest Garden Centre Catering Team categories.
All you have to do is download the pdfs linked below (it's free), put up a selection of A1, A3 and A4 posters, hand out the voting slips and collect them up prior to posting back to us for counting and recording after voting closes at mid-day on Monday 30th June 2014. If you need more posters and voting slips you can print as many as you wish.
Then on Monday 7th July we will announce the winners at The Greatest Awards Summer Party, in the National Motorcycle Museum, opposite the NEC.
The winners will be the teams with the most votes, with separate awards for different sizes of centre and regional awards too.
What’s more, thanks to sponsorship from National Garden Gift Vouchers, there is a great incentive for your customers to vote. Every vote with a valid e-mail address will be entered into a draw to win NGGV vouchers to the value of £100. There will be five winners, one from each of five regions.
Over the years, customer voting has helped many garden centres gain an interesting insight into the positive ways their customers perceive them, and it also adds a spark to team morale.
And there’s no cost to you for being involved – all you have to do is get your staff talking to your customers!
We look forward to counting your votes, and who knows, if your team can get the most votes we’ll see you on stage at The Greatest Awards Party on July 7th!
