Awards
The Sales & Marketing Council of Los Angeles/Ventura offers recognition for sales and marketing professionals by presenting quarterly sales awards and our annual ÉLAN Awards.
Now celebrating its 25th year, the ÉLAN Awards annually attracts over 400 entries involving new-home communities, builders and associates within Los Angeles and Ventura counties. Encompassing all facets of new-home marketing and merchandising, this competition provides for entry opportunities in product design, model complex landscaping, interior merchandising, sales office design, logo design, graphics, brochures, signage, advertisements, overall advertising campaigns, special promotions, and website presentations.
Inviting suppliers and associates involved in the homebuilding industry to submit their own promotional materials or campaigns, there is also a category for “Best Marketing Promotion.” Additionally, tribute is given to energy-concerned builders and developers with the “Sustainable Community of the Year Award.” Culminating the gala awards presentation is the Grand Award for “Community of the Year.”
Special recognition is also given to “Sales Manager of the Year” and “Marketing Director of the Year.” Additionally, the winners from each of the Sales & Marketing Council of Los Angeles/Ventura Quarterly Sales Achievement Awards competitions automatically become finalists for “Salesperson of the Year” honors.
Other special awards presented in conjunction with ÉLAN include the “SMC Hall of Fame” and “Associate of the Year.”
The ÉLAN Awards, sponsored by the Sales & Marketing Council of Los Angeles/Ventura, will be presented on October 6, 2007, at the Beverly Hills Hotel. The reception will begin at 5:00 p.m. with dinner following. The awards program will begin at 7:30 p.m.
