Awards
Many design firms love to list the awards they have won. But, here’s a little secret about design awards: Most design contests require a hefty entrance fee, membership dues in an organization, or the purchase of ad space and subscriptions to enter. And, most companies nominate themselves and their own products for the contests.
Sure, Catalyst has won our share of awards over the years--both design awards and business growth awards--but we feel that the ultimate reward is not recognition by our peers, but delivering a successful product to our customers.
Instead of spending money on marketing ploys like design award entrance fees, we usually do something fun. For example, last year we sponsored IRL Driver #67 Sarah Fisher and held a customer appreciation day at the Indianapolis 500 Racetrack.
