Retailers are being called upon to take part in an exciting nationwide competition that will help engage customers and could see stores land a free advert in one of three leading craft magazines.

Publisher GMC Tea Cozies Competition is open now and running until 30 June 2012, the competition is open to retailers and customers alike.

Participating retailers are being asked to create a winning window display of tea cozy entries submitted by their customers as part of the competition, to be in with the chance of receiving a free advert for their shop in the relevant GMC Distribution magazine (Knitting, Making or Making Jewellery).

Retailers will receive an exclusive promotional pack, including entry forms, posters and special tea cozy bunting to help them promote the competition in-store and create a winning window display. They will also be supported in publicising the event through the publisher's social media channels.

Customers are being invited to design a unique tea cozy based on any theme and submit their entry to their local participating store. Three lucky winners will have their designs featured in GMC's forthcoming book Tea Cozies 4, receive £50 worth of books from the publisher and a free subscription to Knitting magazine.

As well as being included in their local participating store's Tea Cozy Competition window display, customer entries will be considered for inclusion in Tea Cozies 4.

For further information about the competition and how you can get involved, contact: Emma Baker, Marketing Coordinator, GMC Distribution, emma.baker@thegmcgroup.com, 01273 402811
