Winning an award is good for your business!

Do you know how much free publicity you get from entering awards?

We recently underwent a review of our presence in the media and astonishingly, our entries into business awards over the last few years have given us national press coverage… and we didn't even know about it.

Now that we know however, entering awards will be one of our top marketing activities from now on, as will using the extended coverage to our advantage.

On that note, this year, we come together with Merton Chamber of Commerce and Merton Borough Council to host the second Merton Best Business Awards, offering the best businesses in Merton the opportunity to showcase and highlight their talent and successes to the community.

Media sponsors, Time and Leisure, have generously put forward a prize to the overall winner of advertising to the value of £2,500 providing a fantastic opportunity to promote your business locally.

A range of new categories means there is something for every business, whether you want to put forward a young promising young person into the Best Young Person of The Year, show the community how much C02 your company has saved by recycling everything possible by entering into the Going Green Award, or how you provide your customers with the by far best service in your sector in the Best Service Excellence award.

Make sure you get your application form in soon www.mertonbestbusiness.co.uk and come along to the Meet the Judges event on the 10th June at Cannizaro House.
