23
00:00:59.679 --> 00:01:02.640
<v Speaker 1>once the voting is done, then you guys get to

24
00:01:02.640 --> 00:01:04.120
<v Speaker 1>do the hard part. You get to go through and

25
00:01:04.159 --> 00:01:06.760
<v Speaker 1>crunch and numbers in tally, and then we all eventually

26
00:01:06.879 --> 00:01:08.760
<v Speaker 1>get to find out who the winners are.

27
00:01:09.079 --> 00:01:12.480
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, so, yeah, you're exactly right. So what happens every

28
00:01:12.560 --> 00:01:16.439
<v Speaker 2>year is we finalize the voting on August it's actually

29
00:01:16.439 --> 00:01:18.280
<v Speaker 2>the first Monday in August. Then we take about a

30
00:01:18.280 --> 00:01:20.560
<v Speaker 2>week John and we kind of throw out some bad ballots.

31
00:01:20.680 --> 00:01:22.040
<v Speaker 2>I want to make sure that all the votes are

32
00:01:22.040 --> 00:01:27.159
<v Speaker 2>coming from local people, check IP addresses and whatnot. And

33
00:01:27.159 --> 00:01:31.239
<v Speaker 2>then the actual published winners usually go on Thelocal beest

34
00:01:31.239 --> 00:01:33.599
<v Speaker 2>dot com about a week later. I'm gonna call it

35
00:01:33.680 --> 00:01:37.200
<v Speaker 2>August tenth ish somewhere in there, and there's yeah, over

36
00:01:37.239 --> 00:01:39.920
<v Speaker 2>two hundred categories. We're publishing the best places in town,

37
00:01:40.000 --> 00:01:42.840
<v Speaker 2>not because we say so, but because about eight thousand

38
00:01:42.840 --> 00:01:44.840
<v Speaker 2>people in Sioux Falls take the time to vote and

39
00:01:44.879 --> 00:01:48.560
<v Speaker 2>publish their results, and we give consumers in the area

40
00:01:48.599 --> 00:01:50.519
<v Speaker 2>a really quick guide of the best places to go

41
00:01:50.599 --> 00:01:51.599
<v Speaker 2>based on word of mouth.

42
00:01:51.640 --> 00:01:54.560
<v Speaker 1>I love it Thelocal beest dot com and how long

43
00:01:54.599 --> 00:01:57.000
<v Speaker 1>have you guys been doing this survey? It's a bit now,

44
00:01:57.040 --> 00:01:57.359
<v Speaker 1>isn't it.

45
00:01:57.439 --> 00:01:59.599
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, this is our twenty first year. We started this

46
00:01:59.760 --> 00:02:02.359
<v Speaker 2>in the very first year was two thousand and five,

47
00:02:02.959 --> 00:02:05.200
<v Speaker 2>and we've been going, going every year and it's just

48
00:02:05.239 --> 00:02:07.519
<v Speaker 2>been it's been awesome. People embrace it. I think the

49
00:02:08.159 --> 00:02:11.439
<v Speaker 2>businesses really get fired up about it. And at the

50
00:02:11.520 --> 00:02:13.520
<v Speaker 2>end of the day, it's just something to give people

51
00:02:13.560 --> 00:02:15.000
<v Speaker 2>when they're trying to figure out where to go and

52
00:02:15.000 --> 00:02:18.759
<v Speaker 2>they want trusted opinions, and who better to give those opinions?

53
00:02:18.759 --> 00:02:20.639
<v Speaker 2>And consumers are slight themselves.

54
00:02:20.360 --> 00:02:22.719
<v Speaker 1>Right, And it doesn't take a long time. You go in,

55
00:02:22.919 --> 00:02:25.439
<v Speaker 1>you fill out the survey, you finish it, and if

56
00:02:25.479 --> 00:02:27.599
<v Speaker 1>you don't want to vote for everybody, you don't have to.

57
00:02:27.639 --> 00:02:29.919
<v Speaker 1>You can just pick and choose. How many categories do

58
00:02:29.960 --> 00:02:32.039
<v Speaker 1>you have? And Nate, do you have people who vote

59
00:02:32.039 --> 00:02:33.479
<v Speaker 1>in every single category?

60
00:02:33.680 --> 00:02:36.120
<v Speaker 2>Yeah? They pick and choose and yeah, you're right. You

61
00:02:36.120 --> 00:02:37.879
<v Speaker 2>go to the local beest dot com and if you've

62
00:02:37.919 --> 00:02:40.159
<v Speaker 2>never voted before, there is some setup where we get

63
00:02:40.159 --> 00:02:43.599
<v Speaker 2>some demographic information front me because we want our data

64
00:02:43.599 --> 00:02:45.599
<v Speaker 2>and we want our study to be really, really good.

65
00:02:45.960 --> 00:02:49.680
<v Speaker 2>But once you've got that profile built, then each year

66
00:02:49.800 --> 00:02:51.560
<v Speaker 2>what you need to do is at least come back

67
00:02:51.599 --> 00:02:54.240
<v Speaker 2>in and log onto that profile and have activity in

68
00:02:54.240 --> 00:02:56.280
<v Speaker 2>your profile. And then if you didn't want to go

69
00:02:56.360 --> 00:02:58.240
<v Speaker 2>back in and change all your votes in the previous

70
00:02:58.319 --> 00:03:00.240
<v Speaker 2>year because you might not have had a change onion,

71
00:03:00.560 --> 00:03:02.719
<v Speaker 2>you don't have to. All those votes will roll over,

72
00:03:02.800 --> 00:03:05.000
<v Speaker 2>but you do have to have activity in your profile

73
00:03:05.039 --> 00:03:08.560
<v Speaker 2>to to to have those votes count. And you know,

74
00:03:08.680 --> 00:03:10.919
<v Speaker 2>really it depends. We do have some people that go

75
00:03:11.000 --> 00:03:12.800
<v Speaker 2>through and complete all two hundred of those. We have

76
00:03:12.800 --> 00:03:15.000
<v Speaker 2>a people that we have people that just do you know,

77
00:03:15.080 --> 00:03:17.919
<v Speaker 2>five or ten I think on average a consumer might

78
00:03:17.919 --> 00:03:20.680
<v Speaker 2>complete about twenty five thirty votes. Obviously there's got to

79
00:03:20.680 --> 00:03:22.280
<v Speaker 2>be there's going to be some that are a lot

80
00:03:22.319 --> 00:03:24.360
<v Speaker 2>more than that and a lot less. But we want

81
00:03:24.520 --> 00:03:26.080
<v Speaker 2>we want them coming back, and we want to make

82
00:03:26.080 --> 00:03:27.319
<v Speaker 2>it easy for him to do again.

83
00:03:27.400 --> 00:03:31.319
<v Speaker 1>The website is Thelocalbest dot com. And you guys have

84
00:03:31.319 --> 00:03:32.960
<v Speaker 1>been doing this for a long long time. Do you

85
00:03:33.000 --> 00:03:36.879
<v Speaker 1>have many businesses who have been the Local Best every

86
00:03:36.960 --> 00:03:38.479
<v Speaker 1>single year you've been doing the survey?

87
00:03:38.759 --> 00:03:41.280
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, So here's some here's some quick stats for you, John,

88
00:03:41.280 --> 00:03:43.759
<v Speaker 2>you might like this. I think the last time I look,

89
00:03:44.000 --> 00:03:47.879
<v Speaker 2>there's about twenty thousand businesses and zoo falls okay, and

90
00:03:48.000 --> 00:03:52.199
<v Speaker 2>I think about six hundred each year get voted Local Best,

91
00:03:52.280 --> 00:03:54.680
<v Speaker 2>so we're shaving off a pretty thin percentage right there.

92
00:03:55.199 --> 00:03:57.360
<v Speaker 2>And then there's about two hundred of those six hundred

93
00:03:57.400 --> 00:03:59.560
<v Speaker 2>that are number ones, obviously because we have about two

94
00:03:59.599 --> 00:04:02.719
<v Speaker 2>hundred two categories. But I think when I did some

95
00:04:02.840 --> 00:04:04.719
<v Speaker 2>math on this a while back, I think there's been

96
00:04:04.719 --> 00:04:07.479
<v Speaker 2>about thirty five or forty who have been number one

97
00:04:07.960 --> 00:04:11.599
<v Speaker 2>every single year since we started this. So that's that's

98
00:04:11.599 --> 00:04:12.520
<v Speaker 2>some pretty rare air.

99
00:04:12.800 --> 00:04:15.719
<v Speaker 1>I love that. Again, the deadline for voting is Monday

100
00:04:15.800 --> 00:04:17.600
<v Speaker 1>at midnight, but you don't have to wait till Monday.
