Awards: why enter? The business benefits. You might be debating the time and effort to enter a business award, but let the below benefits sink in and remember, we’re here to help.

1.Free Publicity

If shortlisted, free publicity rolls out from the award organiser and sponsors on their websites, social media channels and often in press publications. This can be local, but often it is national with radio air time or national trade-specific promotions. You couldn’t pay for this endorsement from your industry if you wanted to.

This continues pre and post awards night.

2.Industry Accreditation

Awards provide industry accreditation, that again you couldn’t buy if you wanted to. Having an endorsement from a panel of experienced judges, with a seal of approval from the awards body sets you apart from your competition. This also provides your business with independent validation which is much more powerful than any social media self-praise.

3. Competitive Advantage

For the reasons above, you’re naturally creating competitive advantage. In a business world filled with Reels and Tiks Toks, your potential client is inundated with products and services to choose from on a daily basis. An award shortlist or win simply carves your place above the rest.
