Spud Smart is getting set to honour the most innovative products of 2024, and we want YOUR product to be on that list! Boost your brand and get noticed: winning the Spud Smart Innovative Product Award means:
- Your product will be featured in our Spring Spud Smart print edition;
- Your product will get significant coverage online via Spud Smart’s e-newsletter, social media accounts and website; and
- You’ll be able to post a ‘Spud Smart Innovative Product Award Winner’ decal on your website and marketing pieces.
With so much recent innovation in our industry, how can you separate your application from the rest so it gets noticed … and chosen? To help you put together the kind of award application that optimizes your company’s chances of winning, here are a few tips gathered from the best-of-the-best applications we’ve reviewed over the past three years. To increase the chances of your company’s product getting selected:
- Be very clear in detailing WHY your product deserves the award and what impact it will have on the industry. Spud Smart is looking to celebrate products that have a significant overall impact on the industry, high potential for scalability, and widespread application. We’re looking for products with real results!
- Be specific about the challenge your product seeks to tackle, and the solution your product delivers. Details will help us better understand your product and why it matters to the industry!
- Ensure your product meets the award’s requirements: it must have been launched after Jan 1, 2021; it must be useful to the Canadian marketplace; it has to specifically relate to potatoes in some way (food processing is acceptable, so long as potatoes are a target crop).
- Apply on time! Applications are due Feb. 9, 2024.
- Be available. We’re going to want to talk to the best-of-the-best innovators for more information, so make sure you clear your voicemail box and check your email!
- Include a photo(s). Pictures really do say 1000 words. And we need a photo to showcase your incredible innovation to the Spud Smart world!
- Share information about this award with your innovator friends. Celebrating, promoting and encouraging innovation is critical to our industry’s success!
