FAQs
am i the only winner in my business category?
YES!! You are the ONLY winner in your business category in your town. We applaud you for this accomplishment.
why do i have to pay for my award?
Most award programs have businesses pay annual dues and membership fees to pay for nominated awards. Our program is unrestricted to what businesses we award, and ALL small businesses making an impression in their community have a chance of winning. We ask for nothing from these businesses, we simply award and recognize them based on the reputation they built themselves within their own communities and with their customers. We only ask our winners to pay for the cost of the award IF they want one to display in their business. You do NOT have to purchase the award to still be a winner! You also can NOT purchase an award to become a winner. All winners are given a code that is entered to order the award and without it, an award can NOT be ordered from us.
HOW WILL PEOPLE KNOW I WON?
Our team picks towns based on those who have a high small business impact. We spend a vast amount of time putting together data on each business and ensuring all winners are recognized via this award, we currently have articles going into various business publications that announce our award program. We are also currently working on an annual publication page for this website that will list ALL winners for each area. As our program is mostly comprised of volunteers wanting to give back to small businesses, we are spending the majority of our time and resources analyzing data and selecting real and true winners. Recognition is mainly based in the award itself; winners can use this award in their marketing and even picture it on their emails or business cards. The award itself can also be displayed in your business for free publicity and recognition.
what is the local’s choice awards program?
After surviving such tough economic times, we felt the need to create a NON FEE based program that recognizes small businesses for their hard work. Each year in and around your city, we organize a team to gather data, customer feedback and information about impressions local businesses have made in the area and plug that data into an algorithm that allows us to see who the locals are saying is the best in the business.

how did i get this award?
Selections are limited to ONE business in each category, in each town reviewed and only the business ranking with the highest scores and best feedback will win. If you were selected as a winner, you have TRULY impressed your community and should be proud of yourself, your team and your product. Why not honor it all with a beautiful display award that lets everyone know who the locals are calling ‘the best in the business.’ Winners are notified via email. Email addresses are found within contact information that was collected while analyzing data.
can i change the name displayed on my award?
In an effort to protect the integrity of our award program, we do not permit for changes to be made to the company name on the award. The wording on the award is mirrored directly from the name the winning business is publicly using.
