Merchandiser of the Year Competition Deadline This Week

Do you know a garden center that is really knocking it out of the park when it comes to their merchandising displays?

If you do, you should let them know that Lawn & Garden Retailer, GPN’s sister publication, is now accepting entries for its 2018 Merchandiser of the Year competition — and that the deadline for entries is June 22!

Any independent garden center can enter. To be considered, the merchandising display:

Must appear in a store in 2018,
May be multiple shots of a single display or a collection of related displays, and
May contain live goods, hardgoods or gift items — or a combination.

How to submit?
Submit up to five high-resolution photos of the creative display, along with a description of up to 500 words. Please include the following:

The purpose of the display,
When it was featured in the garden center,
Who designed it and how they created it,
Where it was located within the store, and
Customers’ responses.

The 2018 Merchandiser of the Year will receive the Dramm 60127 Display, with a retail value of $1,400 and a $500 Wholesale Gift Credit and a 15 percent discount for Braun Horticulture’s 2018 Catalog offering (one time).
