Lettings Agency of The Year Awards 2010
Sponsorship www.estateagencyevents.com
“I’m very pleased that lettings agencies are now being recognised with their own dedicated awards which reward the hard work and achievement of the very best firms. I thought last year’s ‘Lettings Live’ was first class and look forward to the event in June being even better.” Lucy Morton, President of ARLA
“As Ombudsman for both sales and lettings I’m very keen to see the standards of the industry be raised ever higher and no doubt these awards will provide agents with additional incentive to do so.” Christopher Hamer, The Property Ombudsman
We are delighted to announce The Lettings Agency of the Year Awards 2010. The Lettings Agency of the Year Awards is the first dedicated event which recognises the best in the industry providing an opportunity to celebrate their success and to promote best practice. In association with The Sunday Times, these prestigious awards together with the popular ‘Lettings LIVE’ seminar programme have already generated a huge amount of interest and are sure to attract owners and senior directors of small, medium and large agencies from across the UK giving you a really valuable opportunity to meet with an exclusive group of decision makers. Part of the longest established awards in our profession, The Lettings Agency of The Year Awards are judged by a panel of independent industry experts, overseen by The Property Ombudsman, and are supported by the Association of Residential Letting Agents (ARLA).
The opportunity Just 10 companies will have the opportunity to sponsor and exhibit at this exclusive event. To demonstrate how effective it will be consider this comment from Simon Whale of Reapit following Lettings Live 2009:
“We have sponsored the EAE awards events and found them to be extremely productive for us in generating new business. In a one day event we did the level of face to face meetings we would normally hope to complete in a calendar quarter. The agents that attend are of the highest quality – the type we want to be doing business with.�
Your involvement in The Lettings Agency of the Year Awards will enable you to gain maximum exposure to the business owners and senior directors of the most forward-thinking and dynamic agencies through the build up and marketing beforehand, on the day itself and by post event follow up.
On agreeing to be involved, we will arrange a planning session with you to establish your objectives and how we can best achieve them. In addition to exhibition space your sponsorship could also include exposure within the ‘Lettings LIVE’ seminars as we will seek to identify key messages about your products and services and ways these can be effectively communicated through our whole day seminar programme. You will have several opportunities to meet agency owner’s face-to-face including registration, morning coffee, lunch, afternoon tea, champagne reception and the awards ceremony and post event drinks. Some sponsors are already planning pre-event breakfast meetings and post-event dinners for their key target agents – there are several ways we can help you to meet the right people. Unlike some exhibitions where you only get a fleeting chance to meet people this event provides proper networking with the key players. We will promote your involvement to our database of 13,000 agents and feature you prominently on the awards web site and other marketing materials. We can also help you gain the maximum PR advantage from your sponsorship – our goal is to make sure you receive outstanding value from this event in every way possible.
In association with The Sunday Times The Sunday Times has recognised this event as being of huge importance to the industry
“We are very pleased to continue our support for the industry and to recognise the achievements of both sales and lettings agencies. Agents have reacted well to the change in market conditions and this separate event will determine who has done it the best." Dave Thompson, News International, (parent company of The Sunday Times)
The award winners will be promoted within both The Times ‘Bricks & Mortar’ and The Sunday Times ‘Home’ supplements and winners will be able to display their medals with The Sunday Times branding – without doubt the most valuable accolades in the industry. You too have the opportunity to join The Sunday Times in supporting the achievements of the very best agencies in the UK.
