The ‘Staycation’ competition will run throughout July and encourage photos of window displays to be shared across social media.

Independent retailers are being posed with the challenge to create a Sylvanian Families Summer ‘Staycation’ Window for a competition from Epoch.

The competition, which acknowledges that many families will be staying at home this summer, will run throughout July and will see indies putting together a fun and uplifting staycation-themed store window display, using a full POS window pack supplied by Epoch which includes everything from 3D Cubes to beautiful hanging banners.

Pictures of the stores’ windows will be posted to Instagram throughout July, tagging @sylvanianfamilies_uk and using the hashtag #SylvanianStaycation, for the chance to win a prize, including the new Sylvanian Families Picnic Van and Cosy Cottage Starter Home.

Suzie Howes, marketing manager at Epoch making toys, said: “We’re thrilled to launch the Sylvanian Families Staycation competition, supporting our independent retailers throughout what we expect to be a busy shopping period, especially with more of us deciding to holiday at home this year.

“Lockdown restrictions may have eased, but consumers are shopping local more than ever before; it’s important we support our retailers in new and exciting ways to encourage customers back through their doors.”
