Bridgford Garden Centre and Tamar View Nurseries win ‘Pimp up your Roundup’ contest



Roundup has announced the final winners of this year’s ‘Pimp up your Roundup’, a 3-month promotion that challenges independent retailers to get creative when displaying Roundup in store.  Now closed for 2015, the promotion ran from March to May with hoards of retailers submitting their photos of inventive Roundup displays to be in with a chance of winning a share of the £6000* prize.

The winners have now been announced from the May entries. Bridgford Garden Centre, in East Bridgford, won for its King of Weedkillers creation, and Tamar View Nurseries Garden Centre, Saltash, won for its great use of Roundup POS. The two May winners will both receive a Roundup Ready to Use 1L x 116 unit display as a reward for their creativity.

Gary Philpotts, Roundup Lawn and Garden UK business director, said: “The Pimp up Your Roundup promotion has been well received by retailers for 2015, with an increase in the number of entries by over 30%. Thanks to everyone who has taken part, and as we move more into the main gardening season, I’m confident these eye-catching displays will capture consumer attention and drive sales.”

To find out more about the ‘Pimp up your Roundup’ promotion and to read the terms and conditions, visit www.roundup-garden.com/pimpup or call 01483 410334.
