Maximising the Benefits of Industry and Business Awards

In a world of mass information, social media, Google searches and SEO we often find our business is caught up in all the white noise and our new customers find us through luck more than judgement.

We invest in a range of messaging and marketing avenues to break through to new connections. One of the most overlooked marketing tools is business and industry awards.

In this session you will take away:

• The benefits of entering awards for you, your employees, and your business.
• How to plan and prepare for entering awards to maximise your time.
• What awards programs and categories will best suit your business?
• Overcoming obstacles and negative self-talk including ‘Imposter Syndrome’ and ‘Tall Poppy Syndrome’
• Celebrating your nominations and marketing for maximum exposure to new and existing customers.
