For retailers
The fifteen minute campaign.
You don't enter. Your people do. One vote for your business and you are in the running. Here is how to make the most of it.
The campaign
Three jobs. Five minutes each.
Every link points to voteretail.com. We stay neutral, so the campaigning is yours.
1
Tell the team
Drop the email banner into your next team update with a link to voteretail.com. Past staff count too, so send it wide.
2
Put it up in store
Print the POS display for the staffroom and the counter. Customers can vote as well.
3
Post it
Use the logos and tiles in the kit on your socials. Tag #RetailEmployerOfTheYear and #REOTY.

FAQ
House rules. There are only four.
How do I nominate my business?
You don't need to. A vote for your business is a nomination, so after one vote you are in the running. Your local Retailworld account manager will then email you a campaign pack. You can opt out once you have been told.
How are the winners chosen?
By the number of votes. The business with the most votes in its category wins, so campaign for it. More on the categories is on the About the Award page.
How can I get people to vote for us?
Campaigning is up to you. Use the free marketing pack, and point every link to www.voteretail.com. We are a neutral third party, so we won't share anything that could sway voters.
What if someone votes twice?
Each vote needs an email address, which we keep for the campaign so each person votes once. The privacy policy has the details.
