Small business, big prize

We have launched a Christmas competition for small businesses across the UK.

Christmas is a time for giving and during this festive season we have four prizes on offer for small businesses.

All UK small businesses are able to enter the competition and there are two ways to get involved, each with the chance to win £1,000:

1. Share a photo of your festive shop window display with us.
2. Or, tell us about what special festive communications you have planned for your customers. This could be anything from direct mail, email, a social media campaign or any unique festive packaging!

There will also be two runners up for each part of the competition, who will both win £500.

UK small businesses should send competition entries by one of the following ways:

• By uploading your photo or comment to Twitter or Instagram, including #RoyalMail and #smallbizfestivecompetition as well as your own username. Don’t forget to tag @RoyalMail on Twitter or @RoyalMailOfficial on Instagram 
• Via email: win@royalmail.com with the subject line Small Business Festive Competition
• Royal Mail’s contact form: www.royalmail.com/small-business-saturday
• Or direct message Royal Mail’s Facebook account with the hashtags #RoyalMail and #smallbizfestivecompetition

The competition begins on Tuesday 27 November and closes at 23.59 on Sunday 16 December 2018. All winners will be announced no later than 21 December.

We support the growth of each and every small business that we have the opportunity to work with and we pride ourselves on being the most reliable business partner to all.

We’re delighted to be providing small businesses with the chance to win special prizes through our festive competition.

During last year’s Christmas period, Royal Mail handled a staggering 149 million items. This year, we have opened six dedicated parcel sort centres and recruited an additional 23,000 temporary colleagues to support our seasonal operation.

More than 1,100 customer service points will be open on Sunday 23 December and they will all be open on Christmas Eve. These measures are about our commitment to deliver the best possible service to customers throughout the Christmas period.
