Winning an industry award can present some really great marketing opportunities for your business. Being recognised for a service or product you provided can be a talking piece for years to come.
Becoming a finalist will also result in some really great marketing opportunities. As a winner, or finalist, you are often supplied with a logo for use on promotional material which showcases your win. There will be plenty of news articles talking about the awards, and lets not forget the photos you can share from the presentation event. All of these things can be featured on social media and attract lots of positive attention for your business. You will become an 'Award Winning Business' with a competitive edge.
But it's not only about showcasing your skills. Being recognised as an Employer of Choice can have substantial benefits too. Many people looking for work will consider which employer has the best benefits or positive work environment. This type of award can go a long way when it comes to recruiting key personnel. Even if you don’t win, the fact you’re among the top players in your industry is enough to put you in front of high-quality candidates.
