Leverage your social media audience

Social media is the best way to let your loyal following know to support you! Use the graphics we’ve provided above or create your own graphics to match your respective branding. On your Instagram posts and stories, use the hashtag #aliststl and tag @stlouismag for a chance to be featured on the St. Louis Magazine Instagram story. Put a link to the ballot in your Instagram bio and/or pin your post for extra visibility and easy access! 

Mention A-List on your website, emails, or newsletters

Make the most of your website and emails. Include a link to the ballot and/or utilize the provided graphics. You could even put a link to the ballot in your email signature, asking your correspondents to nominate your business. 

Reach your customers in person

Is your restaurant, shop, or brick-and-mortar establishment open to walk-in customers? Print and hang the provided flyer (above) where your patrons can see it, or create your own signage to encourage customers to nominate your business.
