As the countdown to the 17th Greats Gift Retailer Awards kicks off this month, gift shops and gift departments of all shapes and sizes are invited to enter the fabulous Greats Awards 2019 which recognises and rewards the very best in gift retail.
Recognising those extra special shop staff who go the extra mile, gift retailers are also invited to enter a member of staff in the Retail Employee of the Year category, and to name stand out suppliers in the Best Service to the Independent category.
Nominations are also welcome for the Honorary Achievement Award, which recognise a special someone who has made a major contribution to the gift industry as a whole.
The Greats is a fantastic opportunity for gift retailers – from the tiniest village shop to the largest multiple – to bang the drum for their achievements over the past year,” enthuses Sue Marks, editor of Progressive Gifts & Home and GiftsandHome.net. “We’re looking to reward retail excellence, professionalism, innovation and commitment, and look forward to receiving self-nominations and nominations highlighting the gift retailers who stand out head and shoulders from the crowd.”
To celebrate The Greats Gift Retailer Awards 2019, a brand new website has been launched – www.thegreatsawards.co.uk– featuring details on how to enter, together with a downloadable entry form.
Entries can also be emailed to suem@max-publishing.co.uk
The closing date for entries is January 31, 2019.
