Ten Reasons to Partake in PrintWeek India Awards 2014

1. Showcase your print: When you send in your entries for PrintWeek India Awards, you show them to a panel of jury members who are your customers. The panel of jury boasts of top management from corporate houses, design specialists from top advertising agencies and print specialists, who seek creativity and functionality in your print jobs.

2. Challenge yourself: Not everyone who enters the PrintWeek India Awards wins. But even if you do not win, what the Awards does is, it gives you an opportunity to challenge yourself. When you decide to take part in the Awards, you start doing new things, develop or bring in new skills, techniques, then implement it. So you see, even if you have not won, you have gained from the experience of doing new things and present it with your clients. Further, winning or even being shortlisted can add that credibility, which can act as a catalyst to your business growth.

3. Shout about your achievement: Use your winning Award on all your marketing tools, your website, and your communications. Use it to as a publicity tool for your business. Drive home the fact that you are the best in your field.

Likewise, achieving recognition can also have a positive effect on your existing staff morale, acknowledge their contribution and motivate them to better.
