The competition is a great way to get your products and business noticed, from just entering the competition you get collateral to shout about your nominated products and guaranteed for them to be seen by the audience that matters – buyers and retailers. At each competition stage that you make it through to, you get extra opportunities to raise your profile, and your exposure will be raised from extra PR and promotions from trade press and our partners.

As the Gift of the Year competition enters its final weeks of collecting entries, don’t just take our word for how well the awards can work for you, we have spoken to previous winners of the competition and why they will be entering again, and we even had our celebrity endorsement from Dragons Den star Sara Davies.

“Winning Gift of the Year has been a huge help to my business. I received a lot of publicity at the time and it gave the products and myself as a designer a level of credibility and reliability that I did not have before.” -Victoria Eggs

“The awards have really supported us with industry-wide awareness as we’ve moved more into gifting over the years. Being recognised in a category helps us to reach new buyers” – Burgon and Ball

“We would definitely recommend other businesses to enter the Gift of the Year in the future. It is a great platform for meeting new customers, raising the profile of the business and receiving the acknowledgement of the hard work that goes into producing great quality products.” – Wrendale, Winners
