We’ve been receiving a lot of questions about Hot Vendors lately… is it too late to submit a nomination? When will we find out if we won? When will the reports be published?
This blog answers these common Hot Vendor questions and more. We will also continue to update this blog each time a new Hot Vendor report publishes!
In case you aren’t familiar with Aragon Hot Vendors, each year, we select Hot Vendors across multiple markets that are noteworthy, visionary, and innovative. They may have new technology that expands capabilities, a new strategy that opens up markets, or a new way of doing business that makes them worth evaluating.
CEO Jim Lundy gets ready to introduce our Hot Vendor recipients at Transform 2019!
Benefits of Becoming a Hot Vendor
Hot Vendors benefit from increased recognition from their peers, increased market awareness and credibility, and increased lead generation. Previous Hot Vendors—which include Box, DocuSign, and LogMeIn, among other notable players—have gone on to achieve great success in their markets.
Plus, all 2020 Hot Vendors will be invited to Aragon Transform 2020, Aragon’s annual awards ceremony and networking event, to receive their award plaque and be celebrated for their achievement. They will also have a chance to briefly speak about what makes their company hot.
To capitalize on the benefits you receive from becoming a Hot Vendor, we recommend that award winners build a Hot Vendor awareness campaign by issuing a press release, licensing the report and video for content marketing and lead generation purposes, and celebrating success on social media.
