How Awards Management Software Can Keep You Connected

The benefits of using awards management software are almost endless. Many professionals in the awards industry are tired of sorting through large piles of papers by hand. Additionally, many want an easy way to contact nominators or judges in the most efficient way possible. Awards management software gives you the ability to stay connected with the people involved in your awards program or contest with the option to easily send mass emails to whomever you choose.

When the deadline to submit nominations is approaching, many begin to scramble to make sure enough people apply. It can be difficult to manually find those who have started a form, and send a reminder of the upcoming deadline. Awards management software allows you to see who has started a form, and you can easily mass email those people with a friendly reminder all through the system.

Additionally, some judges may need clarification of rules for the judging of nominations. With awards management software, you can see a list of all judges. You then have the option to only email the judge with the question, or email everyone to make sure all judges are on the same page.

Finally, the ability to mass email through awards management software allows you to advertise for your next set of awards programs or contests. With a list of potential nominators already in the system from your last awards program, you can quickly send messages to inform them of everything new that is happening within your organization. This way, you know who is involved with your organization, and potential nominators will feel like they are connected to your organization.
