Next week TV property expert Phil Spencer will be revealing the winners of The ESTAS Best in Postcode Awards at a new, virtual event at 4pm on Friday 26th April.
Unlike previous years, where those who have succeeded in making the shortlist for the ESTAS Awards categories announced, this year the virtual event will focus on the winners of the Best in Postcode awards. All Best in Postcode Winners confirmed on 26th April will then automatically be on the shortlist for the following categories:
- Best in County given to one branch in each county
- Best in Region gold, silver and bronze awards at single branch level by UK region
- National Grand Prix Awards for Best Customer Service in the UK with gold, silver and bronze awards presented to one branch who achieve the highest ratings for customer service across the UK
The winners of these categories will be announced at the glittering ESTAS Awards Ceremony that will take place in London on Friday 18th October.
Simon Brown, CEO and Founder of the ESTAS Awards explains the new decision to announce the Best in Postcode Winners six months before the main annual ceremony,
“We’re aware that agents seek every competitive advantage possible, so by announcing the winners of the Best In Postcode Awards in April, this provides recipients with a powerful tool to showcase their excellence much earlier in the year. We want to enable our winners to boost their local marketing campaigns and generate more listings from late Spring onwards, rather than waiting until the ‘traditional awards season’ at the end of the year.”
Simon continues,
“While the announcement of the Best In Postcode winners will be virtual, the winners will also be formally recognised at the physical awards ceremony in October, where they can celebrate their success at the biggest awards event in the property sector calendar, as well as finding out if they’ve won any of the other categories for which, as a Best in Postcode Winner they are then automatically shortlisted.”
“All Best In Postcode winners will receive a physical marketing pack within a few days of the virtual event on 26th April, which will include a set of ‘Best In Postcode Winner’ window stickers, as well as a digital marketing pack containing ‘Best In Postcode Winner’ branding which can be used across social media, email footers, websites and applied to any printed materials as well. As ever with the ESTAS Awards, we never charge for a licence to use a winner’s badge and there is no limit on the length of time that the winner’s badges can be displayed for.
All subscribers to the ESTAS Review platform will receive their invitation to the virtual event over the next few days. Simon Brown concludes,
“It’s the ESTAS 21st anniversary this year, so this is just the first of many ways we’re celebrating our ‘coming of age’, with more significant announcements to follow in the coming weeks and months.”
