To all 2010 Awards of Excellence winners First of all a big CONGRATULATIONS to all our members who were successful in winning an award this year When Landscape Ontario initiated the awards program over 30 yrs ago the goal was to raise the bar in the industry, that goal has certainly been achieved and your company is indeed living proof of the high standards of workmanship and tremendous creativity that exists today. We often get feedback from members regarding the impact that winning an award has on their company, the benefits often include, increased employee moral and of course a higher profile when competing for jobs. (The awards program is only available to eligible Green for Life Landscape Ontario Members) Many members have been successful in using their prestigious award as a promotional tool, and with that in mind we would like to help you gain that marketing edge. From my experience with the media and Allan’s background in the newspaper world, we know that local media in particular is hungry for success stories involving local companies. Attached is a press release that you can easily customize with your company name and information. Send it to your community newspaper and regional magazine, contact the local tv and radio shows, follow up a week later with a phone call, this may result in some great exposure for you and another way to promote our Green for Life Landscape Ontario message.
