A. Dodson’s began the new year on a positive note by winning first place in Swirl Marketing’s Retail Details New Year Display Contest.

The Bridge Road retailer competed against five other stores nationally in round two of the contest to design the prize-winning New Year’s display. Forty stores across the nation had submitted photographs of their displays in the first round.

In round two, participants incorporated a box of New Year’s Eve props from Retail Details into a merchandise display. These props included a black Styrofoam chandelier, a top hat, a clock and New Year’s Eve decals.
