What is a Top Choice Award? This special award recognizes the best in each category including yoga studios, restaurants, car dealerships and more. The Top Choice Awards collects the reviews and opinions of thousands of customers each year which is one of the reasons why we take such pride in this nomination. We value the opinions and thoughts of our clients and staff; majority of our clients and current team of brand ambassadors have contacted Tigris due to great referrals. If Tigris receives the Top Choice Award in our category we will be able to use this official stamp of approval on our website so consumers can make an educated choice when using our services.

To be considered for a Top Choice Award, the nominee must:
• Be in business for a minimum of 1 year – we’ve been in business for 12!
• Conduct fair business practices – Tigris pays our staff top wages within 2 weeks of their events by direct deposit along with an evaluation.
• Portray an exceptional interior image location – we moved into our brand new modern office this year!
• Portray an acceptable online image – Tigris updated our website earlier this year and we update it weekly with new blogs, landing pages and event portfolios.
• Operate acceptable social media outlet presence – Tigris has over 125,000 combined followers on Instagram, Facebook and Twitter – not to mention the 5,000 contacts our company CEO has on her Linked In profile!

We appreciate your help in helping us achieve this special award. There are several benefits from achieving a Top Choice Award, such as motivating our current team within the head office and the events staff on our team across Canada. We want to show our staff how hard we strive to be a top choice in promotions, personnel, marketing and events to ensure they feel proud to be part of our team. It will help Tigris gain new clients and receive a positive first impression from the badge, showcasing our award winning reputation. Tigris also wants to be recognized as a professional, creditable voice in the industry and this award will associate Tigris and our staff with the best in the biz.

Award Nominations :: Why Your Vote Matters

What is truly unique about this award is that instead of simply clicking a button, voters must explain why they are voting for the specific business and what exactly makes them that voter’s top choice. Tigris host group interviews to recruit new brand ambassadors across Canada and we always take the time to explain what makes Tigris unique. As mentioned earlier, we pay our staff top wages within 2 weeks of their events by direct deposit. We offer compensation for successfully booked referrals when we are short for staff in remote areas, and we also offer sales incentives for brand ambassadors that successfully refer us to a new client. We value our staff and distribute regular incentives on our events along with annual awards for the Top Brand Ambassadors in each province.

In regards to our clients, we are available 24/7 (we literally sleep with our phones under our pillows). We provide detailed reports post-event including feedback from our staff, consumer testimonials, and qualitative and quantitative results. Tigris has staffed events within 24 hours’ notice and pulled a team of 15 professional brand ambassadors together in a remote location within 1 week. We offer our clients the option to simply select staff via photos, descriptive bios or based on our own opinions on who would be best suited for the program. We work within our clients’ needs to meet their budget, provide experiential staffing ideas and design branded uniforms. We also always offer a quick solution to any issues that arise.
