More retailers boost sales with Pimped-up Roundup displays



Roundup has announced the winners from the second round of 2015’s ‘Pimp up your Roundup’, a 3-month promotion that challenges independent retailers to get creative when displaying Roundup in store.  

Running until the end of May there is still an opportunity to win a share of the £6000* prize by submitting photos of inventive Roundup displays.

April was a difficult month to judge with a high number of creative and interesting entries, but the winners have now been announced. Crowders Garden Centre, Horncastle, won for its innovative display using a real weed before and after treatment with Roundup, and Orchard Park Garden Centre, Gillingham, won for its great use of Roundup POS. The two winners from the April round of judging will both receive a Roundup Gel 150ml x 140 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 a big hit again in 2015, with a high number of entries, all of top quality. A big thanks again to everyone that has taken part, and I’m sure it’s having the desired effect of boosting sales of Roundup, especially as we’re now in the main gardening season. With a few weeks left to go, there’s still time to get final entries in and be in with a chance of winning a great prize.”  

To enter retailers simply need to take a photo of their pimped-up Roundup display and email the photo to pimpuproundup@roundup-garden.com before May 31st.  At the end of May two winners will be chosen based on their display photo and will each win a Roundup Ready to Use 1L x 116 unit display.

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.
