Sycamore, IL—March 1 marked the 10th year that Proven Winners has offered an employee training program exclusive to independent garden centers with more than 7,000 employees completing the program last year.
To access the training module, garden center owners and managers log into the Proven Winners site (pwcertified.com) using their Brand Champion ID number and password while indicating how many employees they will have completing the program. Retailers and their employees can watch the video as a group, or individually, and then each completes an online questionnaire.
Once everyone has finished the process, the employees will each receive a free Proven Winners iGarden t-shirt, and the garden center can print out their iGarden Certificate along with a press release for use with their local media. DVDs are also available for large groups, as well as paper copies for those without Internet access by contacting Proven Winners’ main office at 877-865-5818.
Retailers who complete the iGarden certification process will have their names listed first on the Proven Winners retailer locator site, a resource used by over 600,000 gardeners last year when looking for the Proven Winners brand.
