Stand Out from the Crowd

Did you hear the news?  Awards help businesses stand out from the crowd!  Award nominations, and of course, wins, are great marketing tools for winning clients, obtaining media attention, recruiting top talent and building vendor relationships.  Simply put, a trophy offers credibility and affirms that you are good at what you do!

Preparing award entries can be time-consuming; however, the results out-weigh the effort.  According to Entrepreneur magazine, here are the five reasons why you should add awards to your marketing plan:

1. To Land New Customers – clients like to be associated with a winning company!
2. To Land New Funding – awards are an indicator of potential growth!
3. To Retain Existing Employees – awards boost employee morale!
4. To Attract New Employees – everyone wants to work for an award-winning team!
5. To Be Associated with the Elite –  award nominees and winners are in a different league!

Is your business ready to stand out in the Special Events industry?  Then, submit your best work for an ISES DC Capital Award!  Complete award entry information is available here; the deadline to submit entries is Tuesday, January 24.  Questions may be sent to Alysha DiGiorgio, Award Entries Chair, at diglight@aol.com.

Has this article made you think twice about submitting an award entry?  Have you experienced firsthand the marketing power of being nominated or winning an award?  If you responded yes to either of these questions, please leave a comment to share your thoughts with our ISES DC community.
