Frequently Asked Questions
Does purchasing votes work?
The short answer...NO.
THIRD-PARTY SOFTWARE
We use a third-party software system checking IP addresses, email addresses and timestamps to combat fraudulent voting.
NOMINATIONS/VOTES/DISQUALIFIED
If fraud is suspected, nominations and /or votes involved will be disqualified.
COMPANIES CANNOT GUARANTEE WINS
If a business is approached about buying a guaranteed win by a third-party, no matter how reassuring they are that it is legal, IT IS NOT. Those votes will be disqualified.
How are my Readers' Choice packages billed?
Billing occurs over a 4 month period per section.
Nominations, Voting, Results, Event
What if I buy a package and don't win?
The strategy of the package is not paying for votes. The package is a way to reach your audience when it's at its peak and most engage. You gain significant brand visibility.
How do I find out if I won?
Results will be made public the night of the event (TBD). A results section will be published the week after.
How does voting work?
Users can vote once every 24 hours; the clock does not erase at midnight.
Do ads guarantee nominations or votes?
Ads on the ballot do not guarantee you will be nominated or move on to the voting phase; however, the ballot is one of the best places to be seen. The ad positions/enhanced listings amplify your presence and reach potential.
