Top 10 Reasons You Should Enter the UNIVATOR Awards

1. Because there really are innovations in the uniform industry. Innovation and the uniform industry are not synonymous. That, at least, has been the stereotype. But we at UniformMarket know better, and we want to do our part to forever dispel that myth. There really are great products out there, and fresh, creative ways have been used to market them. We know. We’ve seen them. And we’d like to tell the world about them, but we need your help first. Enter your best products and ideas today, and let us showcase these innovations to the world.
2. Good News Travels Fast - Awards bring prestige to a company, and are a testament to its expertise in a given area. And good news travels fast. Your customers will learn of your award through us, you, and through other media outlets, giving you the potential to grow your business and tap new markets.
3. Your 65/35 poly/cotton trousers are better than your competitors’, and you should brag about it. Yes, your products may be similar to that of your competitors’, but did you add features that sets them apart? Did you breath life into an existing line using technology or a smart ad campaign? Have you started an industry trend? Then you deserve to brag about it in the UNIVATOR Awards. It may give you the competitive edge you’ve been looking for. And it might serve to distinguish you from your competitor.
4. You can run, but you can’t hide: if your product is really good, we’ll enter it for you. Let’s face it. In this business climate, there is little down time, and even less margin for error. We at UniformMarket know the industry, and know how busy you can be. That’s why if we find news about a service or product online, or if we’re told of a successful venture, we’ll call and ask to enter it on your behalf. So if you have a product of which you are particularly proud, you may soon be hearing from us, even if you choose not to enter on your own.
5. The global market is a big place. Let us help you navigate it. While it is true that the global marketplace presents an almost limitless opportunity to grow your business, it is equally certain that finding the right ways to market your product or services has presented new challenges for the uniform industry. With so many media out there, and with so many ways to communicate your message, how can you be certain you’re reaching your target audience? Why not let UniformMarket assist you in getting out news of your products? We are, after all, a publication with an international reach, and we just might be able to provide the type of exposure for your product that you’ve been looking for. Visitors to this site will be able to read about your company and its services, and we’ll even issue a press release on all winners, increasing your exposure even more. It’s our way of helping you make the global market just a little bit smaller.
6. You’ll have another plaque for your wall, and can use the results as a marketing tool. - All recipients of a UNIVATOR Award will receive a handsome plaque that can be displayed in an office or factory – anyplace where a customer might see it, alerting them to your success. The results can also be used in your promotional literature, websites, or ad campaigns, giving you another way to let your customers know of your credibility and standing in the industry.
7. The first time is always special. This is, after all, the first year of the UNIVATOR Awards, and you might be one of its first winners if you enter. And as we all know, firsts are never forgotten. So here’s your chance to become unforgettable to your customers and peers.
8. It helps to get a pat on the back from those in the industry. You’ve worked hard, and should be acknowledged for it. Although less than a year old, UniformMarket News Magazine is brought to you from Halper Publishing, the same publisher of Made to Measure, an industry staple for decades. Since 1930, Halper Publishing has been reporting on issues affecting the uniform industry, and is considered the authoritative voice in the field. We know what it takes to survive in this business, and would be honored to acknowledge your efforts to your colleagues and peers.
9. Everybody loves a winner. Winners stand out from the rest, and are etched in our memory. ( Franklin Roosevelt won the presidency four times, but does anybody remember his opponents? Or for that matter, the loosing Super Bowl team in any given year?). The UNIVATOR Awards will distinguish you as a winner, and cement your reputation as an authority in the business. And your customers will love you for it.
10. It’s so easy to enter, you’d be foolish not to. – Unlike some awards programs, the UNIVATOR Awards are no muss, no fuss.
