How are Best of the County recipients determined?
We are excited to share the evolution of our Best of the County. Each of the 104 articles ranging from Best Architect to Best Pizza contains a list of businesses that have been voted onto the list by our audience. Each year, the business must get ten votes to remain on this list, therefore we can be confident that all Best of the County recipients are deemed to be the best in Marin County according to our audience. Did we miss anyone? Probably! But the good news is we can add them next year when the voting begins in March.
How are the Readers’ Choice winners determined?
An online survey is conducted from April through June using the total Best of the County recipient list on the survey platform. The businesses who garner the highest number of votes from readers are determined to be the Readers’ Choice.
How can my business be recognized next year as a Best of the County recipient?
There is no magic formula, but it helps to do your best in creating a business where customers want to engage with your product or service. Engage your network! We have seen tremendous turnouts for businesses over the years, garnering them not only a Best of the County nod, but also Readers’ Choice recognition.
