Social media is playing an increasingly bigger part in the way that businesses interact with their customers - something that we've embraced at WoodenBox UK for more than 5 years!

Most of our new customers come to us from either 'word-of-mouth' recommendations or a Google search. However, we've found an increasing trend for people searching for what they want through social media. Many first contacts are now made by prospective clients leaving messages on our Facebook or Twitter accounts; and an ever-growing number of referrals to the website are coming in from social media.

Mindful of this, we keep all of our social media channels updated with new products, special offers, new company developments and regular competitions.

The competitions include the following:

#BoxPics photo competition - send in your photos of our WoodenBox UK products in use

Like, Share, Follow, Retweet... - where all you have to do is interact with one of our social media channels for the chance to win

and, the 'Find the...' where we hide a seasonal character somewhere on the website

The competitions are run regularly and the prizes are usually either a £50 Amazon Voucher or £75 to spend on the WoodenBox UK website. The next one will be a June #BoxPics competition, so start sending your photos of our products in now for a chance to win!

So please keep in touch, we'd love to hear from you.

Please submit any competition pictures to sales@woodenboxuk.com or post the picture on a social media channel with a 'mention' of our account, and we'll pick up the notification.

Throughout March we ran the 'Find the Easter Bunny' competition. We didn't make it too difficult as we hid him on one for the first products you come to on the site - the one bottle sliding lid box.

We had lots of entries and picked Matthew at Well Being People out of the hat as the winner. Congratulations Matthew, your £50 Amazon Voucher will be with you soon.

Keep watching this space - we'll be announcing the April competition early next week - but here's a clue, keep liking and sharing our social media channels!

Congratulations to Vinegar Tips, who are the winners of our first #BoxPics competition. A £75 voucher to spend online at WoodenBox UK or Chalkboards UK is on its way to you now.

We've had a fantastic response to our first ever WoodenBox UK photo competition - #BoxPics, with 40 new pics from 21 of our customers being sent in.

You can see all of February's entries on our social media channels - Facebook, Twitter and Pinterest - and there's a small selection below.

Keep sending in the photos - they'll automatically be entered into the next #BoxPics competition (possibly May). And  keep watching this space - there's more competitions to come from WoodenBox UK!

Bunches, first established in 1989, is one of the UK’s leading online retailers of fresh flowers, plants and other gifts. They utilise a supply base from different countries and approached WoodenBox UK in late 2014 to see if we could provide a competitively-priced alternative to their existing plastic-lined wooden crate used for various gifts in the range.

After a couple of samples, the crate itself was very simple to provide but providing a plastic lining was something that we had never previously experienced. Using our own extensive supply network, we were able to find an appropriate lining and our team of experienced  assemblers were able to learn a new skill in gluing the liners into position.

Eighteen months on and we have now supplied well over 10,000 of these units in more than one colour.

Bunches experience a number of high seasonal peaks in demand and WoodenBox UK has been able to work with them to ensure a safe and reliable source of supply.

This is truly a ‘growing’ business!
