Yucatán Magazine is asking consumers to nominate businesses for the “The Best of Yucatán.” The top finalists then move forward to the voting round starting Monday, April 15. Voting takes place for two weeks, which allows merchants plenty of time to encourage customers to support them. The participants, and especially the winners, receive a great deal of recognition, which helps them find new customers and re-engage existing ones.
This page describes three simple, free methods for getting on the ballot and then “getting out the vote” among local consumers who already know and support your business. Plus, download our free image assets to use however you’d like!
- Put up signs in all of your locations: We have created a customized contest decal that you can use on printed signs or other physical materials you want to make.
- Share on social media & email: Use our “social ready” post for super easy sharing and our “web/email ready” banner for your website and newsletters!
- Send emails to employees, family, friends and customers with a request for them to vote. We’ve created a starting template if you want to use it.
