General A-List branding tips:
- Please mention St. Louis Magazine's A-List Awards.
- Let your audience know which category (or categories) you're recognized in.
- Thank your supporters! They nominated and voted for you, so let them know that you appreciate all of the support.
- Example announcement: "You voted for us, and we brought it home! We won best fries and best burgers in St. Louis Magazine's A-List Readers' Choice Awards! Thank you, St. Louis."
Celebrate with your social media audience.
Social media is the best way to let your loyal following know you've been named an A-List winner or finalist! Again, thank them for helping you achieve the win. Use the free social media graphics (linked above) or create your own graphics to match your respective branding and promote on Facebook and Instagram. 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.
Show off the award on your website and in your emails.
Use the A-List logos or badges* on your website. Make a blog post announcing your win. Send out an email! Put the A-List winner or finalist badge in your email signature all year long. Show it off, and again, make sure to thank your audience!
*Badges and standalone logos are only available to A-List advertisers.
Do you run print ads, hand out flyers or menus, have billboards around town, or utilize other physical media for your marketing?
For print pieces, be sure to use high-res A-List logos (only available for A-List advertisers). And when you utilize the A-List logo, be sure to mention "St. Louis Magazine's 2025 A-List Awards."
Example: If putting the A-List logo on a billboard or on a menu, add additional context: "Named Best Movie Theater in St. Louis Magazine's 2025 A-List Readers' Choice Awards"
Show off your award with a plaque or window cling.
Is your restaurant, shop, or brick-and-mortar establishment open to walk-in customers? Order an A-List plaque or window cling to show off your achievement!
