Ordering Customized Gardener’s Idea Books Through Connect+

Available Levels:

As an optional benefit of our Basic, Enhanced, or Elite Connect+ program, you
have the option to choose cases of our popular Gardener’s Idea Book
customized on the back cover with your garden center’s information.
Choose from two customization options:

OPTION 1 – Add your company logo and/or address to the back cover

Deadline: January 10, 2025 – no exceptions

Standard Gardener’s Idea Books come with the Proven Winners logo and home office address on the back cover. You have the option of swapping either or both out with your own garden center’s logo and address.

Details for participation:

  • We will include your store’s street address, city, state/province, and ZIP/postal code on the back cover.
  • Email addresses, websites, and phone numbers cannot be included as part of the address.
  • One address per book is allowed. If your garden center has multiple locations, please use your main location or corporate office address.
  • If you request your logo on the back cover but do not provide it to us by January 10, 2025, we will use the Proven Winners logo in its place.

OPTION 2 – Add a 45-character message to the back cover

Deadline: none
In addition to adding your company logo and/or address, or as a separate option, you may add a 45-character message to the back cover of the Gardener’s Idea Books that is an optional benefit of your Connect+ plan. You could use it as an opportunity to remind your customers of your spring opening date or open house, or any other important message you don’t want to be missed.

Details for participation:

  • The 45-character limit is firm and includes spaces and punctuation.
  • There is no deadline for providing us with your preferred message. However, if you would like it included with Option 1 above, please provide it along with your logo and address by January 10, 2025.

Connect+ Benefits
Whether you choose option 1 or option 2 above, your Connect+ benefits are as follows:

  • Basic Level: 3 cases/300 copies
  • Enhanced Level: 4 cases/400 copies
  • Elite Level: 5 cases/500 copies

Receiving Your Customized Gardener’s Idea Books
New this year, all Gardener’s Idea Books that are customized as part of your Connect+ benefits will be mailed directly to your garden center, not to your customers. We will ship all customized books to the single address you provide, not to multiple store locations. Please provide us with the date you
would like us to mail your customized Gardener’s Idea Books to your store on your order form. Note this will be the ship date, not the date of receipt.
