Ways to get votes

1. Ask for them: We’ve created “Vote for Us” ads that you can use on your website (below). Be sure to place one in a prominent position so your customers see it, and then link back to https://Bestof209.com (or one of the category links below!) so they can easily access the ballot.
2. Send reminders: Post regularly on your social media accounts, asking your followers to nominate your business and provide this link: https://Bestof209.com
3. Repeat: Send emails to your customer database. Recommended dates:
   • May 1: Best of 209 voting begins!
   • May 15: Friendly reminder
   • May 24: Last call – voting ends May 31!
4. Speak up: Share with your customers all of the categories in which you’re nominated. Ask them to vote early and often! Download this PDF flyer to put by your register/reception area and make it a priority to ask your customers to vote for you! Some nominees even ask customers to vote within the text of their receipts! Every little reminder helps.
5. Let us help: Download our free social media graphics. They are pre-formatted and labeled for the appropriate platform. We also offer several advertising opportunities to get your name and brand front and center on the ballot!
