Shortline Manufacturers: Recognize Your Best Dealers

Farm Equipment magazine is accepting nominations for its fifth annual Dealership of the Year program. In addition to nominations from farmers and others dealers, shortline manufacturers are encouraged to nominate their own top-performing dealers who provide an example in progressive retail and service operations, customer care and other industry best practices.

Please use the below email contact information to nominate the dealership and send a short summary on the reasons it deserves this industry-wide honor. After a qualification and data collection step, a third-party panel of judges will review all nominations and declare the class of recipients in “One- or Two-Store,” “Multi-Store” and “Rural Lifestyle” categories.

The recognized dealerships will be the subject of a cover story article in Farm Equipment, receive a plaque to present to their entire staff and also be part of a media campaign that recognizes them in their local community.

Nominations can remain anonymous, if desired. Email Dave Kanicki, Executive Editor, dkanicki@lesspub.com to nominate a dealer. The deadline for nominations is February 27, 2009.
