The 2017 Retailer of the Year Awards are now open for entry.
The BTHA has declared the application process for the annual awards process now officially open, with a newly expanded category for independent retailers.
Retailers can compete nationally in like-for-like categories and can apply in more than one category. Self-nominations are permitted, together with nominations coming from a panel of nationwide industry experts.
For anyone wishing to take part, the BTHA is encouraging you to visit www.btha.co.uk/awards/toy-industry-awards.
The BTHA will continue this year with the option for independent and smaller multiple retailers being able to include short testimonials from their suppliers. This won’t guarantee a win, but is intended to strengthen an entry for the benefit of the retailer and the judges when assessing the entry.
