Are you selling the Christmas Sizzle?
 

The Greatest Christmas Sizzle Cooking the Christmas turkey or joint on a barbecue is a hot new trend in outdoor leisure – as a number of UK garden centres have already realised.

We’re looking for the garden centre that has fully embraced the idea in a way that helps to sell barbecues and food hall produce – and perhaps even hot turkey sandwiches – at the same time.

Not all centres will be able to stage a live in-store cookery demonstration – but an imaginative static display could work just as well.

This could be just the idea to give you a local competitive edge this Christmas – and our judges will be looking out for centres who do it expertly. You can also self-nominate in this category. You’re always been urged to ‘sell the sizzle’ – now’s your chance!

We are delighted to have SOLEX AT THE NEC as sponsors of the first ever Greatest Christmas Sizzle Award. LOFA’s summer outdoor and indoor leisure event is now an established fixture in the trade show calendar, bringing together the world’s leading garden and leisure furniture and barbecue brands under one roof. The show moves from Telford to the NEC, Birmingham, next year (8-10 July 2013).
