Competing against the national chains isn't easy, especially when it
comes to online polls that rely heavily on brand recognition. Often people will look at the options and vote for the name they recognize, and that's often big corporations, since they are the ones with the big advertising budgets. We're especially thrilled to see so many local businesses recognized in Tampa Bay's Business Journal 2011 Reader Choice Awards!
