Resources for 2020 eKEY AWARDS Winners
We know you are anxiously awaiting to receive your physical award, but we want you to be able to share and publicize your achievement with the world immediately!
So, we’ve put together some resources to help you effectively promote your award including logos, social badges, press release templates, and even a Facebook Profile Frame.
We will be routinely profiling eKEY AWARDS winners in our monthly email newsletter, our blog and our social media postings.
Here’s some tips on how to effectively promote your award:
1. Write a blog post
Remember all the effort you made to enter the award in the first place? Turn your experience about applying for the award into a blog post. Not only can you talk about how you managed to complete the application (in between running your business), but you can also give people tips that you learned along the way.
2. Tell your email list
Your fans and care about what’s going on with your business. Don’t forget to include a link to the blog post you wrote. They can get a glimpse of what you did in the application process and understand why winning is so important for you.
3. Update your website
One place that most people forget about is their website. If you have a scrolling slide or banner on your homepage, then add a picture announcing the big win. Again, link it to the blog post you wrote, giving people the chance to read about your journey and understand why the award is important for your business.
Awards add credibility, especially when they recognize your expertise. Adding an announcement to your website helps new visitors in their decision making. Who wouldn’t want to work with an award winner?
4. Shout on social media
While you shouldn’t make all your posts on social media about your win, a few, excited posts are perfectly acceptable. Again, make the most of the blog post you wrote by linking to it. And try a couple of different ways to announce. Don’t forget to use the hashtags #2020ekeyawards #hbagc #goldekeyawardwinner so we can follow your posts!
5. Involve your team
If you have staff, one great way to promote your wins is to involve them. People love seeing behind-the-scenes photos and this is a great way to share more about your team.
6. Record and submit an acceptance speech video for the public awards display
Please film horizontally in 20 seconds or less and submit no later than December 21st, 2020. Email all videos to cat@brandit360.com
