Why participate in the NZ's French Business Awards - People’s Choice?

1) Awards can raise the credibility of your business, its brand and its products. The NZ's French Business Awards - People’s Choice are designed to increase visibility for your business as the winner for each category is the one collecting the most votes*. A business award win acts as a 3^rd party endorsement for your business, a sign of quality for potential customers.

2) Benefit from a communication campaign on the French media Le Petit Journal and on the FNZCCI platforms. We will create content on what you do best and encourage our community to try your products and visit your venue.

3) Awards kick-off! For a month, Le Petit Journal and the FNZCCI communicate on each participant's activity and invite the community to try out your products and visit your venue. On your side, make sure your day to day customers vote for you by scanning the QR code.
