Contests

You've seen the contest concept in action, even if it wasn't used in a concrete construction forms and accessories business. A well-designed contest has the potential to generate buzz about your company and create a fun atmosphere for promoting your core business offerings.

The difficulty comes when you are tasked with quantifying market presence and brand influence. Fortunately, media monitoring has the ability to give your concrete construction forms and accessories business a sense of market presence and other variables that are difficult to quantify.
