Are You Still Loving Your Plot?

  

It’s year two of the HTA/GIMB Love the Plot You’ve Got campaign. Building on the success of 2015 – here’s a one-day Masterclass to demonstrate how to sell to non-gardeners – as well as gardeners.

Explore how to plan and create WOW displays which sell product. How to get your team on your side. How to sell more plants and garden goods during 2016

All you need to do is attend one of the regional Love the Plot You’ve Got Masterclasses. Whether you attended last year or not – you’ll go away fired up with ideas to amaze your customers.

  • Planning and building displays
  • Keeping it commercial
  • Planning POS signs
  • Measuring results
  • Communicating with customers and potential customers
  • Generating events during 2016

Book your place by emailing i.boardman@btinternet.com – see next page for dates & venues

Only £95 per delegate plus vat. Payment in full in advance – non-refundable. Refreshments provided
