Albrighton BGC are first team to send in a batch of in-store Greatest Christmas Awards customer votes

 

Albrighton BGC are the first garden centre Christmas team to send in a bulk batch of GTN's Greatest Christmas Awards votes that they have been collecting in-store.

 

Thousands of customers have already posted their votes on-line and in-store to say who are The Greatest Garden Centre Christmas teams in 2025, some have even even posted their votes directly to us!  Voting is live on-line and in store from now until 22nd December.

 

With 4 weeks left until voting closes theres plenty of time for your team to join in the competition.  To ask your customers to vote for you and your team, all you need to do is print off the posters, there are four different designs to choose from, that can be accessed via this link: GTN Greatest Christmas Awards Voting Materials, display them in store, add a link to your social media pages or website where you can put the voting link or the QR code as below and let the voting begin.

 

You can also let your customers vote in-store by printing off the voting postcards and collecting them in-store before sending them in to us for counting before Christmas. This is a great way for your team to see just what customers really like about your Christmas, as they can read through the positive comments and take a big pat on the back too.

 

It’s as simple as that.  Voting is open now and will remain open until 4:00pm on December 22nd.

 

As last year, awards will be made on a regional basis as well as overall and will also take size of garden centre and team into account too, so every vote will count!

 

Here is the link to the on-line voting page: GTN Greatest Christmas Awards 2025 On-Line Voting Link

 

Here are links to the posters, postcards and "Post your Votes here" artwork - just click on the images below:
