GuildMaster is building on its social media prowess with a retail contest that will allow the company's Facebook fans to vote for the winner.
The Show Your Stuff contest, which started this week, will choose the most outstanding retail displays across the U.S. The winner dealers will get support for a favorite charity.
During our 15,000 mile trip last spring, we were inspired by creativity in action at retailers of all sizes from Massachusetts to Florida to Missouri to California and points in between, said Steve Crowder, GuildMaster CEO. We cant wait to see all the entries from our Show Your Stuff contest.
GuildMaster on Tour Facebook fans will vote for their favorite retail displays as posted on the page Feb. 22 through March 28. Ten retailers from across the country will be named as winners based on voting by fans March 15 through 28. In a new twist, the grand prize winner will receive $5,000 in GuildMaster bucks, $1,000 for their favorite charity and 500 trees planted in their honor. The other nine winners will receive a $1,000 donation made to the retailers favorite charity, 500 trees planted in their honor, and $1,000 in GuildMaster bucks for additional product.
Retailers are encouraged to upload pictures of their best retail displays on the
GuildMaster Facebook page, and encourage their store's customers and fans to vote beginning March 15. Voting will only run through March 28, so be sure to post pictures by March 15.
Two additional displays will receive honorable mention as Designers Choice and Editors Choice awards.
Crowder will present the prizes to each winning retailer in their store April 1 through April 15 leading up to the start of the High Point Market April 17.
