A Langlands mailshot brought over 900 people to the Yorkshire garden centre on a cold October evening, taking £8000 through the tills in just two hours.

Customers were tempted with the offer of a 10% discount, and were welcomed by Santa’s Helpers at the door, ensuring that anyone not already on the mailing list was very quickly added.
A strolling jazz band provided music, and in the plantarea a busy ‘market’ of local suppliers gave information and tastings of their products.

The staff (including James & Ian) all entered into the spirit by dressing as elves!

Benefits to Langlands included:
* 350 till transactions, totalling £8,000.
* 155 new people signed up on the mailing list.
* FOLLOW UPS: After a childrens’ Hallowe’en Party tonight,

Langlands have a series of events over November and December, including a TV florist, a Christmas demo night and Santa arriving by Helicopter.
