On-line Christmas Customer Votes pour in - your Garden Centre can join in too!


"The staff were friendly and amusing and stayed in character during our entire visit to see Santa and my kids were in awe at being allowed to stroke and feed real reindeer."

"They made our children's experience magical and heartwarming and also as adults we loved every minute."

"Made my 3 year old and 1 year old laugh and smile. I do have one complaint though, my kids haven't shut up about Santa since we went there haha."

Just some of the wonderful reasons customers have given when voting for The Greatest Christmas Garden Centre Team using the on-line voting system linked from garden centre's social media pages or websites which runs right up to 4:00pm on Christmas Eve.

Your garden centre team can join in with this voting that will decide The Greatest Christmas Garden Centre Team in GTN's The Greatest Christmas Awards 2015.

All you need to do is copy and paste this voting link into your website or your social media posts:  http://tgcmc.newsweaver.co.uk/GTN/1cxzwzab1j7

You can add The Greatest Christmas Awards logo too:

The closing date for On-line votes is 4:00pm on Christmas Eve.  

Please note:  To avoid unscrupulous multiple votes the system will only accept one vote per IP address, so please do not use on-line voting in store, the postcards are better for in-stoire voting.

We'd love to know how you use your social media and website to drive your customer voting.  Please send us links to your activity and we will report on them in GTN Xtra: trevor.pfeiffer@tgcmc.co.uk

When all the votes are counted, size of centre and number of staff are taken into account, so there is as much chance of a small centre winning this ultimate Christmas accolade as that of a big centre.

If you have any problems downloading any of the files please e-mail thegreatestawards@tgcmc.co.uk and we’ll send you them by e-mail straight away.

Good luck!
