Makita UK has launched what it describes as its biggest ever cordless garden machinery promotion, offering end users the opportunity to claim a free gift, with the purchase of selected RT, RTX, or PG2, single or twin 18V garden machine products.

Valid on purchases between 1st February to 31st May 2020, the company says they have launched the promotion in order to offer retailers the opportunity to incentivise sales of their garden range, whilst providing added value to the end user.

The promotion entitles end users to claim either a free 18V 5Ah Lithium-Ion Battery or a DUB182Z 18V Blower with purchases of selected 18V RT, RTX garden machine products. And, with every purchase of the Twin 18V (36V) PG2 garden machines, customers can claim either two 18V 5Ah Lithium-Ion Batteries, or a DUB184Z 18V Leaf Blower, or a DMR107 Radio.

Once a qualifying product has been purchased within the promotional period from an authorised Makita dealer, the end user can then claim their gift within 28 days of purchase via a dedicated microsite by submitting their details and proof of purchase. On successful application, customers will receive their free gift after 30 days.

Mark Earles, business development manager for garden machinery at Makita UK, said, “This is the first time we have offered a promotion of this scale and value to end users. Makita has introduced the new redemption process, to provide our valued retail partners an opportunity to offer increased value to end users who are considering their next purchase.

"The high value, free gifts will certainly appeal to those that may already have other Makita tools, or who are new to the Makita system, during peak garden maintenance season.”
