2024 Best Of FAQ
How does the Best of the Susquehanna Valley survey work?
Throughout the year, our team tries to keep up with what’s new, in style, delicious, making waves, and making a big impression in the Susquehanna Valley. We take all of your calls, letters, emails and DM’s with suggestions and input and craft a comprehensive (to the best of our ability—nobody is perfect!) list of categories for our readers (you!) to vote on. Voting is open from January 2 to February 2, 2024. We’ll then compile your votes and publish the winners in the June, July, and August editions of Susquehanna Style!
What happened to the list of businesses I could vote on under each category?
We decided the best way to leave the opportunity to receive a Best Of win open would be to eliminate the prompted businesses and only allow voters to write in who they think the best business in each respective category is. We want this year to be as inclusive and as objective as possible, without us suggesting previous Best Of winning businesses to you.
Only advertisers win, right?
Absolutely not! Quite frankly, many don’t (we’re sorry!). We value the integrity of our Best of the Susquehanna Valley survey and the validity of the winning businesses. Winning status can’t and never will be able to be purchased. You can only earn your spot by promoting your business and getting those votes!
It seems like the categories are a little different than past years, why the change?
As with any program we run, we are constantly looking for ways to update and improve. Year after year we continue to update the categories based on engagement in responses and popularity of categories. If we received too low a number of responses in certain categories in past years, we did eliminate or condense them with another category in an effort to be as statistically accurate as possible.
Ok, so how do I get people to vote for my business?
Lucky for you, we created a marketing toolkit of branded images for you to promote your business and gather votes from clients, customers, friends, and followers. You can share these images on your social media accounts, email marketing promotions, or print them out and hang them in your business.
