We are very excited to announce that McLain Cycle & Fitness of Traverse City and Cadillac, Michigan has been chosen as the winner of our 2017 Local Business of the Year award, recognizing their focus on giving back to the community.
The Promoboxx team connects with local retailers on a daily basis about their digital marketing efforts. During these conversations, retailers often share their business’ history, successes, challenges, and everything in-between. While we highlight some of these stories and insights via our ‘Small Biz Spotlight’ interview series, the Local Business of the Year award presents our outstanding retailers with a larger opportunity for recognition.
Earlier this summer, we sent out an email to retailers across industries who use the Promoboxx platform and asked them one open-ended question: “What makes your business special?”
A panel of Promoboxx retail support experts selected three finalists for this award: The Gray Mill, LaFontaine Automotive Group, and McLain Cycle & Fitness. This year’s winner, McLain Cycle & Fitness, received the most votes through online voting open to the public, including attendees at the Aligned Conference.
