Come on, feel the noise! Make the most of the commercial opportunity provided by Garden ReLeaf Day
With the second Garden ReLeaf day just 40 days away, Boyd Douglas-Davies and the other Garden ReLeaf Day organisers are urging everyone in the UK garden industry to make the most of this golden commercial opportunity.
Addressing the Garden Centre Association conference today Boyd urged the industry to get right behind Garden ReLeaf Day. He said the event had three objectives: 1.To gain national coverage for Garden ReLeafe Day; 2. To allow customers to have fun and spend money; 3. To raise money for Greenfingers.
"After the success of last year's inaugural Garden ReLeaf Day the national media have really got the bug and are queuing up to give us what we set the day up for initially - high levels of media coverage about gardening to kick start the season," said Boyd.
"All garden centres and suppliers who took part last year gained great early impetus for their sales as a result so let's make sure more gardening businesses get the Garden ReLeaf kick start effect too!
"It's really easy to take part, follow the lead from one of the events staged last year or engage in one of this year's initiatives and most importantly TELL THE GARDEN RELEAF team about your event so that it can be included in all the National media briefings.
"Once you decide to get involved it's also a great way for your team to have some fun at the start of the season and energise your customers. You'll even find it very easy to do some simple fundraising for Greenfingers along the way - last year Garden ReLeaf DAY raised over £50,000 for Greenfingers to build another garden at a children's hospice - how many gardens can we get funding for this year?"
So get your commercial hat on and work out how you can get the most media coverage for your business right at the start of the Season. Garden ReLeaf Day is your passport to achieving it.
