Top Choice Awards: 2023-24

Page 1


We’re thrilled to present this year’s Top Choice list, recognizing the top businesses, organizations, goods, and services in the Seguin area. With over 200 categories, it’s truly a reflection of the community’s favorites.

This has been an extensive process, starting with community nominations and followed by voting earlier this year. After compiling all of the results, we are excited to announce the Gold, Silver, and Bronze winners. While it’s often said that being nominated is an honor, there’s something extra special about walking away with a Top Choice award.

Take your time exploring the list—you’ll likely spot some familiar names, but we’re confident you’ll discover some new favorites too. Be sure to visit them all and congratulate them on their well-deserved recognition!

If you run a business and didn’t make this year’s list, don’t worry. Watch out for next year’s nomination period, promote your business, and maybe you’ll be a Top Choice winner next time!

We love you Seguin! Thanks for being my personal selection for “Most Awesome Community.” That’s not a real award (yet). But it is a reflection about how we feel about our community and the people that make it so special.

5 advantages local business have over the Competition

Small businesses on Main Street and big box chains have been competing for consumers’ attention for decades.

Historians say that big box stores were born in the early 1960s when Wal-Mart, Target and Kmart entered the retail landscape. It’s been more than 60 years since these chains arrived and they certainly have garnered their share of devotees. Big box businesses have size, inventory and often price on their side. However, when consumers look beyond those factors, it’s easy to see all of the benefits small businesses offer that behemoths cannot.

1. Passionate owners and operators

Walk into a big box store or other business and you may find a handful of dedicated employees, but not quite at the level of small businesses. Small business owners prioritize the customer experience because they know they need to work hard to retain customers. This translates into knowing the products well, and sharing as much knowledge as possible with customers. Big box businesses vulnerable to heavy staff turnover often do not have a vested interest in the brand.

2. Work the local niche

What makes big box retailers so familiar to shoppers is one can stop in a store in the middle of Nebraska and likely find the same items as a store in Hawaii, with only a few subtle differences between the locations. Big box companies work with the same suppliers and ship the same products all over the world. Customers seeking personalized items and services for their particular regions are better off utilizing local small businesses that can bring in regional vendors more readily.

3. Better shopping experience

Big box stores draw customers during peak times when they’re home from school or off from work. That often translates to long lines both at checkout and at customer service or return counters. By contrast, there may be no apparent rhyme or reason to when shoppers visit small businesses, meaning there likely will not be crowds. It’s much more pleasant to browse wares without having to contend with shopping cart traffic and people blocking aisles.

4. Advanced technology

Big box companies have invested millions of dollars into their point-of-service systems and other technologies, which means it can be a very slow transition to new options as times change. Small businesses generally can shift to newer, better technology more readily because they do not have to do so on the same scale as their larger competitors.

5. General agility

Changing technology on a dime is not the only ways small businesses excel. They can experiment in other ways, such as a home contractor offering a special price deal for a certain period of time, or a clothing store experimenting with new in-store decor. Big chains cannot pivot that quickly, and any changes must be approved by corporate and implemented across all centers.

Although small businesses may have a tough time beating big box retailers on overall price, there are many other advantages such enterprises have over the competition. •

Easy ways to support small Businesses

It’s easy to overlook how integral small businesses are to local, national and even global economies. The Small Business Administration and the U.S Census Bureau indicate small businesses account for 99.7 percent of all American businesses, employing 56.8 million people. Similarly, according to Statistics Canada, local businesses classified as micro or small businesses made up 98.1 percent of all the employers in Canada in 2021. Since mall businesses are the economic engine of many neighborhoods and communities, it’s in everyone’s best interest to pitch in and ensure such firms’ success. Thankfully, it’s easy for anyone to support the small businesses that make their communities unique.

• Shop locally and online from small businesses as much as possible. If you cannot shop right away, consider purchasing gift cards to the retailer or service provider and share them as gifts to others.

• Before you immediately go with a well-known chain or e-commerce giant, find out if a local retailer offers the same items you need and shop there.

• Actively discover new brands, check them out, and then spread the word about your findings to others.

• Share posts from small businesses on social media. It’s good exposure for them and can help to widen their customer base.

• Attend special events or promotions hosted by local businesses. Well-attended events may spark others’ curiosity.

• Share a quick photo of something you bought at a small business or of a service they provided. For example, if a local landscaping company did a wonderful job putting in a new patio or pavers, share the before and after with those you know.

Communities can embrace various strategies to support the small businesses that make Main Street unique. •
