1. Ask For Them On Your Website: We’ve created nomination banner ads that you can use on your website. Be sure to place one in a prominent position so your customers see it, and then link back to https://coastalstylemag.com/best-of-2021/ so they can easily access the ballot.
2. Send Reminders Socially: Remember to post regularly on your social media accounts, asking your followers to nominate your business. Use our complimentary social media graphics below from our Nomination Toolkit to associate Best Of 2021 with your posts. We also encourage you to include this link, which connects directly to the nomination ballot: https://coastalstylemag.com/best-of-2021/.

3. Repeat: Send at least three emails to your database. Recommended dates:

• Early February: Let them know the Nomination Round for Best Of 2021 is now open.
• Mid-February: Send a friendly reminder encouraging them to make their nominations soon, if they already haven’t.
• February 22-28: Last call — don’t forget nominations for Best Of 2021 close on Sunday, February 28 at 11:59 p.m.

4. Tell Them Which Categories Are Important To You: Let your customers know which categories you want to be nominated in. Again, make it a priority to ask your customers to nominate you.
5. Let Us Help: Use our downloadable graphics (below). They are pre-formatted and labeled for the appropriate platform.
