Customers are voting for The Greatest Garden Centre teams
Every vote with a valid e-mail address will be entered into a draw to win NGGV vouchers

  

Over the past 10 days, garden centre customers across the UK have been voting for their Greatest Garden Centre and Greatest Catering Teams.  All votes with a vialid e-mail address stand the chance of winning one of five £100 Natinoal Garden Gift Vouchers.

If you want to join in, all you have to do is download the pdfs linked below (it's free), put up a selection of A1, A3 and A4 posters, hand out the voting slips and collect them up prior to posting back to us for counting and recording after voting closes at mid-day on Monday 30th June 2014.  If you need more posters and voting slips you can print as many as you wish.

You can also ask your customers to vote on-line too - and on-line voting has been extended to Friday 4th July - see this link for details

Then on Monday 7th July we will announce the winners at The Greatest Awards Summer Party, in the National Motorcycle Museum, opposite the NEC.

The winners will be the teams with the most votes, with separate awards for different sizes of centre and regional awards too.

What’s more, thanks to sponsorship from National Garden Gift Vouchers, there is a great incentive for your customers to vote.  Every vote with a valid e-mail address will be entered into a draw to win NGGV vouchers to the value of £100.  There will be five winners, one from each of five regions.

Over the years, customer voting has helped many garden centres gain an interesting insight into the positive ways their customers perceive them, and it also adds a spark to team morale.

And there’s no cost to you for being involved – all you have to do is get your staff talking to your customers!

We look forward to counting your votes, and who knows, if your team can get the most votes we’ll see you on stage at The Greatest Awards Party on July 7th!

Download all of the posters and voting cards pdfs from Dropbox (there is no cost) by using this link:  https://www.dropbox.com/sh/10z9oj7ecd9a9gg/AADipaJF6Ls9NRyTtf0ny3BJa 

If you have any problems accessing Dropbox, please call 07973 504214 or e-mail trevor.pfeiffer@tgcmc.co.uk 

Packs of posters and voting cards have been sent this week to centres who registered in advance.  There are a very limited number of printed packs available, please call The Greatest Awards Team on 01733 775700 if you'd like one - firts come first served.
