Are you a small business based in Ireland?
Do you have a creative marketing strategy which lets you compete successfully against larger competitors?
The Marketing Institute of Ireland is calling for submissions for the All Ireland Marketing Awards programme and we want to encourage you to consider entering the Small Business Marketing Award if you fulfill the criteria below.
Small Business Marketing Award
The SME sector is a large and vital element in the economy of our island. Companies in this sector must be particularly clever in marketing themselves and their offerings in order to be successful against larger competitors. The judges want to hear from small businesses that have deployed marketing strategies and expertise to overcome specific competitive challenges, which resulted in profitable growth. Of particular interest will be the clever leveraging of limited resources and budgets. Entrants must be employing fewer than 50 people, and have an annual turnover or balance sheet under €10 million.
We see many SMEs in Ireland who cleverly use business blogging and other social media platforms to engage with their customers, launch new products, provide great customer care, and brand their business.
It might be you!
