Stone me! Competition at Baytree increases stone and arbour sales

Want to sell more stone and Arbours?  Try this competition idea from John Birch at Baytree Garden Centre.

 

John ste up a competition to win a Zest Cambridge Arbour by customers guessing how any stones in a Baytree bulk bag of Cheshire Pink gravel.

 

As a result John told GTN Xtra he had sold more bulk bags of Cheshire Pink in the past few weeks than he did all of last year and he sold 25 Arbours on Saturday alone as a result of the competition.

 

The winner, who was from Kent and in the area visiting friends, guessed closest just 460 stones away from the total of 48,102 stones in the bag.

 

Well done to the winner, and to John at Baytree for a great promotional idea.
