Building Successful PartnershipsAUSTRALIAN DEFENCE FORCE - DEFENCE RESERVES SUPPORT

Defence Reserves Support NSW is very proud to support the 2009 Local Business Awards. It is a very positive

experience for DRS giving us exposure of our branding and information right across the state of NSW. The Australian

Defence Force needs support from local businesses across the state to ensure our capability is there when we require

it. Being a part of these Awards allows us to communicate with a very broad group of employers who may not

know about the benefi ts of employing Reservists.

ONLINE OHS

Online OHS prides itself in delivering a program that not only enables businesses to meet OH&S compliance but

allows them to build systems and procedures for improving the quality of the service or product they provide.

The Local Business Awards is an excellent forum for engaging successful businesses and aligns perfectly with our

marketing strategy. The exposure generated through advertising campaign and the informal nature of the Awards

presentations allows us to convey our message to a broad range of businesses that otherwise would have been

diffi cult to achieve.

AWARDS PARTNERSHIP

The Business Awards programs are designed not only to acknowledge outstanding businesses, but also to enable sponsors to

promote their products or services to their target market. Major & Support Sponsorships are available within each Awards program.

Both provide practical levels of exposure to your target market. The following sponsorship information is based on single program

sponsorship however, if your company wishes to discuss multiple programs, we invite you to discuss your needs directly with us.

JUDGING

Customers determine the success of a business. The judging

criteria is based solely on aspects of customer service.

• Business Appearance and Presentation

• Range of Products and/or Services

• Value for Money

• Service of Customers

Businesses are evaluated entirely from the perspective of a

customer. There are three stages to the judging process:

1. The Awards begin with the call for public nominations of

outstanding local businesses.

2. At the close of nominations, all coupons and online votes are

collated and those businesses receiving the greatest number

of votes in each category become fi nalists.

3. After the fi nalist businesses are decided, judging visits

commence. Each business is assessed by a panel of judges

who conduct their evaluations at separate visits. Judges

come from a variety of backgrounds and share the common

attribute of being everyday customers.

In most instances, businesses are evaluated anonymously to

ensure that judges receive the same treatment as any other

customer. In some categories of business however, this is not

possible. In those cases, impromptu interviews are conducted.
