Pennsylvania Pride Trees - Brand Promotions and Updates 2012

The Pennsylvania Pride Brand of Trees is exploding in consumer recognition and loyal brand customers. This is being fueled through many efforts:

More and more Independent Garden Centers are choosing to offer Pennsylvania Pride Trees throughout the Northeast, Mid West, and Mid Atlantic regions and consumers are choosing Pennsylvania Pride in record numbers. The Brand is rapidly becoming the Brand of choice for your customers.

Web-based Brand promotion and social media efforts are expanding and driving more and more consumers to our Brand Partners. Read more below about these efforts for the coming year and how you can benefit most by making Pennsylvania Pride your featured Brand of Trees in your Garden Center.

April through June - FREE TREE GIVEAWAY

A web-based promotion on www.PennsylvaniaPride.com designed to drive new customers to your Garden Center. Site visitors will click on the FREE TREE link on the homepage and will be asked to tell us some information about themselves and their gardening and related shopping preferences, in turn they will then receive a verified email certificate for a FREE 1G Bloodgood Japanese Maple.

The customer chooses a participating Garden Center to visit for the FREE MAPLE. We then notify you, copy you with the verified certificate email and the approximate visit date. Your job is simple, make a new customer and sell them more during the visit!

The "verified" email certificate acts as "same as cash" with Eaton Farms. Simply deduct from your payments on account or return to us for immediate payment in full. Pennsylvania Pride has set the retail price for the FREE TREES and you participation requires purchasing a minimum of 25 1G Bloodgood Maples to be shipped with your Spring 2012 order.

3 YEAR GUARANTEE - ONLINE REGISTRATION

New for 2012, Online Guarantee Registration for all Pennsylvania Pride Trees!

We are serious about engaging our loyal Brand customers and helping to drive behavior and blowing away any and all competition in the retail Tree market for you. This is a sure fire way of getting this done.

All those who purchase a Pennsylvania Pride Brand Tree will have the option to register their tree and guarantee on the Brand site going forward.
