Depending how you look at it Christmas has either come very early or slightly late for three stores this week.

Last year we ran a sales uplift competition in addition to the display competition for the Christmas issue of AWW.

What an incredible effort everyone went to in securing prime locations in their store to build show stopping displays. Congratulations to all of our winners who won 100,000 Connections points back in January for their fabulous displays.

The competition didn’t stop there though. We put an additional 500,000 Connections points up for grabs for the top three stores with the highest percentage sales uplift across the Christmas issue. The incredible first prize of 250,000 is the largest individual points prize since the new line launches back in 2008. 

In order to ensure an equal playing field for all our members we implemented a weighted matrix system giving all stores no matter how big or small the opportunity to win. 

And the winners are…

Topping their account with 250,000 Connections points is a small store in Glenelg, South Australia with an incredible 237.5% sales uplift…
