PUBLISHER'SLETTER O


ur 1st annual reader-nominated 10Best Awards was a huge hit last year! It brought massive awareness throughout the state for


Holistic Businesses & Practitioners and Natural Nutmeg and we received amazing feedback from the winners and readers. Many business owners in categories like Natural Product Companies, Spas, Wineries, Breweries, and Farm-to-Table restaurants said they just discovered the


magazine and didn’t realize their customers were avid readers and fans. Because of this we were able to increase our advertiser demographic and distribution and holistic business owners increased their exposure!


This year, our 2nd annual 10BEST awards are happening from September


1st-15th. As a Natural Nutmeg reader, you have the opportunity to nominate your favorite holistic practitioner or business in 20 categories listed on page 10.


Please go to https://tinyurl.com/NN10Best to place your nominations by midnight September 15th!


Please take the time to make these nominations! These awards are a


fantastic way for business owners to increase their market share and expand their business. Most businesses experience 37% more growth after winning a local award. Our Connecticut holistic practitioners are extremely passionate about helping their local communities and they need you to help them bring more awareness to all of the amazing natural and ecofriendly choices we have in this great state. We are proud to be the fi rst reader nominated awards exclusively for the holistic business community in Connecticut.


Winners will be announced in late September via eblasts and social media


– so if you want to be the fi rst to hear, please go to www.naturalnutmeg.com and sign up for our monthly eblasts and Like us on FB and Instagram. We will be showcasing the 10BEST in each category in a special additional issue released in December 2018. This issue will also include articles, ads, business profi les and a holistic practitioner directory that you can keep and use for all of 2019.
