The
Corporate Livewire Canada Prestige Awards recognize small and medium-sized
businesses that have proven to be the best in their market over a given period.
All
shortlisted companies were asked to support their nomination with evidence of
their work, positive feedback from their clients, information on previous
accreditations and recognition as well as highlighting the most outstanding
parts of their businesses. With such a broad range of businesses being
recognized, they had to look at each case individually to assess how the team
has harnessed more effective processes, products, or ideas in order to
transform their industry for the better, increase profits and/or offer a more
successful service.
During
the awards process Corporate Livewire invited over 100,000 businesses and
corporate professionals, magazine contributors and their subscribers to
nominate companies and individuals based on factors such as service,
innovation, experience, sustainability and other areas. Additionally, their
research team has put forward a selection of firms which they felt were
deserving of recognition.
The
judging panel base their decisions upon following areas. The winners selected
are those who demonstrated their strengths in these areas.
1. Products
and Services
This
category was essential in determining if a business is achieving
the 'excellence' aspect of the award title. We are then concerned with how a
company's products and services are unique from competitors, in what ways they
could be considered innovative, and most importantly, how clearly and
effectively the information is conveyed to customers on the website.
2. Service
Excellence
We look
into what method a business has implemented in order to achieve the highest
level of customer service, in what ways the team go above and beyond a
customer's most basic expectations, and how this has positively impacted the
overall productivity and reception of a company. We also take notice of whether
a business monitors customer service quality with the view to make
improvements.
3. Marketing and Branding
Given
this category is crucial to the success of a business, we look carefully at the
ways in which each company goes about marketing and branding itself. We look
for evidence of an effective marketing strategy that is ready to evolve with a
changing market or sector, we consider how succinctly a brand ethos or mission
is conveyed to customers on a company website; and we look for originality
within the brand in comparison to competitors.
4. Customer
Satisfaction
This
category goes hand in hand with ethical practice. A business that places ethics
and fairness at the forefront of its operation will not only acquire a loyal
customer pool, but also guarantee a positive internal working environment where
employees are happy, more efficient, more passionate, and committed to the
company.
Having reviewed information on all of those shortlisted,
the organizers were pleased to confirm that for the 2022 period, www.aartzy.com was adjudged as winners in the category Art
Dealer of the Year in Canada. They previously won
this award in 2020/21.
