Marketing” and “Best Overall Users of Social
Media” categories, including “Rookie Awards” for those businesses
that had utilized online marketing tools for less than one year. Entries
were judged based on originality of concept, polish and appeal, clarity,
and effectiveness.
“The response to the second annual Small Business Online Marketing
Contest was tremendous, demonstrating great interest and participation
from the Chicago business community,” said Chicago City Treasurer
Stephanie D. Neely. “We’re proud to recognize this year’s winners for
their achievements, and hope that their successful campaigns will
inspire additional small businesses to leverage online tools to grow
their businesses.”
Winners: Best Business Email Marketing

More than 130 small businesses in the City of Chicago entered the
contest, which took place between January 3 and February 29, 2012. In
addition, nearly 400 small business representatives and entrepreneurs
took part in the free educational seminars co-sponsored by Constant
Contact and the City of Chicago’s Treasurer’s Office during the contest.
The sold-out seminars covered “7 Keys to Email Marketing,” “Social Media
Made Simple,” “Supercharging Your Facebook Marketing,” and a variety of
other topics related to email and social media marketing, providing
advice and actionable information tailored to the small business

marketing and demonstrate just how effective online tools can be in
