As the clock struck midnight last Friday (January 31) – the closing date for The Greats Gift Retailer Awards 2019 – entries were still enthusiastically arriving online, by email and by post, making this year’s competition a record breaker.
“Once again, the Greats Awards revealed the passionate gift retailers and gift departments who really get behind their shops, their products, their displays, their websites, their marketing, their social media, their communities and their local charities,” commented Sue Marks, editor of Progressive Gifts & Home/GiftsandHome.net.
“Despite everything we read and hear about retail, this year’s entrants showed that they have taken on board the challenges, and by sheer entrepreneurship, passion and hard work, are rising above them.”
The winners of the Greats Awards 2020 will be announced at London’s Honourable Artillery Club (HAC) on Wednesday May 13, with all strands of the gift industry invited to share in this very special day for gift retail.
