NAMM Top 100 Dealer Awards open for nominations

NAMM’S sixth annual Top 100 Dealer Awards nominations are now open. 

The retail awards will be presented Friday, 24th June during Summer NAMM in Nashville.

“Many members have told us that the NAMM Top 100 Dealer Awards have become one of the most important educational events of the year,” said Joe Lamond president and CEO of NAMM. “Every NAMM retailer is unique and we can all learn from each other as this event shines the spotlight on the best practices in retailing and raise the bar for the whole industry. It is also a celebration of the fun and creativity that each member brings to their community as we promote our vision of a world where music is an essential part of daily living for everyone.”

Dealers are evaluated for their innovative approaches to retail and for employing effective strategies in marketing and customer engagement. An independent panel of judges reviews entries to determine winners in each category and to select the Dealer of the Year. Top 100 Dealers will be announced in April. Category winners and the Dealer of the Year are announced during the Top 100 Dealer Awards gala on 24th June.

Music retailers interested in earning Top 100 recognition can submit their entry now until 18th March. Categories include Best Store Turnaround, Best Customer Service, Best Store Design, Best Marketing and Sales Promotion, Best Online Engagement, Support Music Makes a Difference Award, and Best Emerging Dealer “Rookie Of The Year.” 

By entering in any number of categories, retailers are automatically entered for consideration as a Top 100 Dealer and Dealer of the Year.

Summer NAMM returns to Nashville’s Music City Center 23rd-25th June. Registration opens 9th March. Booth space is available now.
