It’s the final countdown! One small business has the chance to
win an expenses-paid, 30-second television commercial during
professional football’s biggest game on Feb. 7, 2016, at Levi’s
Stadium. For most small business owners, the opportunity to share
their service or product with tens of millions of people is
unfathomable, but with the return of Intuit QuickBooks’ Small
Business Big Game, one small business owner’s life is about to
change.
The clock is ticking – there are only ten days left to submit
for the ultimate grand prize. Since submissions opened in June
2015, QuickBooks has received thousands of entries from across the
country. Notably, the top ten states that have submitted the most
entries include: California, Florida, Texas, New York, Georgia,
Illinois, Pennsylvania, North Carolina, Ohio and Virginia. To
ensure their states are represented, small business owners should
submit by Aug. 7, at 11:59 p.m. Pacific time.
To enter, small businesses can visit the Small Business Big Game
website, where participants will be evaluated by an internal panel
of QuickBooks judges based on elements that align with QuickBooks’
commitment to small business success – the owners’ passion for
their small businesses, as well as their authenticity, public
representation and other entrepreneurial benchmarks. The top ten
finalists will be announced on Sept. 2, when public voting begins
to determine the top three winners, continuing through Nov. 3, at
12 p.m. Pacific time.
While QuickBooks can’t award all 29 million U.S. small
businesses with the grand prize, there is more to score than the
30-second television commercial. After submissions for the
commercial close on Aug. 7, five small businesses a week will win
$500 in cash prizes for participating in a number of activities on
Own It: A Small Business Network through Nov. 3, including:
- Spruce Up Your Site: Websites
are an indispensable tool for small businesses, but unless you’re
an Internet design firm, building a great website is often the
trickiest part of establishing an online presence. If your small
business needs a style refresh, upload a screenshot of your site
and share your ideas on what your website could do better. If you
win, you can put your cash prize toward a website redesign!
- Share Your Inspiration: As a
small business owner, you’re constantly learning. Here’s your
chance to pass that knowledge on to someone else. Post an example
of an author, article, film or other work that has inspired you,
and be sure to check out the gallery of other users’ responses. You
just might find an insight that takes your business to the next
level, and those who receive the cash prizes can use it for even
more inspiration.
- Build Your Own Banner: Banner
ads can drive major traffic to your website, improve your
visibility and help grow your business. Create your banner with a
free online banner builder and upload your work. Even if you don’t
win the cash prize for building buzz, you’ll have a new piece of
advertising!
- Giving Tuesday Pledge: Your
community supports your small business, and this is your chance to
return the favor. On Dec. 1, the world celebrates Giving Tuesday,
an international day of giving back. QuickBooks is challenging
small business owners to donate time and resources to benefit their
local communities on Giving Tuesday. In a few sentences, share your
pledge of support, and don’t forget to post photos of your story
after Dec. 1. Every bit of support matters, so whatever you choose
to do, your pledge enters you in our prize drawing. In addition to
the $500 cash prizes, $500 will be donated to the pledged causes of
the winners’ choice.
To see the official rules, visit the Small Business Big Game
website, where there’s also an
opportunity to cast votes to help propel your favorite small
businesses to the top of the list for winning the ultimate
giveaway. Be sure to join the conversation on Facebook and Twitter
using the hashtag #TeamSmallBiz.
