If you’re wondering why we've published this special issue of GTN Xtra, the answer is simple: It's your call to get involved with Garden Re-Leaf Day 2015 on Friday 27th March, the ideal way to kick start your gardening sales season.
All you have to do is get your staff and customers taking Glovies – the new Selfies – and post them on your social media activities with the #Glovies to draw attention to your Garden Re-Leaf Day activities.
To give you no excuse for joining in there will be a pair of Greenfingers Glovies delivered with your March issue of Garden Trade News.
Then you can create your own Glovie event to be part of setting a new world Glovie record. At precisely 11:00am on Garden Re-Leaf Day the Greenfingers Team are aiming for the highest number of people doing glovies at one time. What a really easy way to encourage plenty of customers in-store on Garden Re-Leaf Day morning.
Briers, the suppliers of the Greenfingers Glovies are also offering a super prize for the best Glovie photograph taken. The best Glovie will win a tablet and 2 tickets for the GIMA Awards in July this year. To enter the competition send your Glovies to: trevor.pfeiffer@tgcmc.co.uk and post on social media with the hashtag #Glovies
If you would like supplies of the Briers Greenfingers Glovies which raise money for Greenfingers with every sale you should contact sales@briersltd.co.uk or call 01963 269077
As well as Glovies there are a host of event ideas including the Garden Re-Leaf Day Celebrity Gardening Quiz that are suggested on the Garden Re-Leaf Day website: www.gardenreleaf.co.uk so there’s every reason for you to get involved this year.
Glovies are the new phenomenon gaining huge media coverage and set to go viral in the run up to Garden Re-Leaf Day. All it involves is taking and posting photos featuring the Greenfingers Gloves – the gardening version of a selfie!
