Use social media, emails and website for customer votes



This year you can ask your customers to vote for you on-line in The Greatest Christmas Awards.

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/s9lzjxs25b7

You can add The Greatest Christmas Awards logo too:

GTN's Greatest Christmas Awards logo

The closing date for on-line votes is 4:00pm on Thursday 22nd December 2016.  

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-store voting.

We'd love to know how you use your social media, e-mails 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 small and medium sized centres winning these ultimate Christmas accolades 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!
