Cindy Hinojosa of H3 Enterprises Inc, Honored As Terrell's 2023 Local Business Person Of The Year  

TERRELL, Texas - March 2, 2023 - PRLog -- Today, Alignable's network of 7.8 million small business owners has chosen Cindy Hinojosa of H3 Enterprises Inc as Terrell's 2023 Business Person Of The Year!

The 2023 contest is the most popular competition Alignable has hosted in five years, marking a 61% jump in participation over 2022.

All told, 3,750 communities across the U.S. and Canada selected 3,976 winners this year (including ties). That's an increase of 1,400+ additional Local Business People Of The Year compared to 2022.

226,000+ Votes & Nearly 51,000 Testimonials
During the contest, which ran from Jan. 9, 2023, to Feb. 17, 2023, 226,000+ votes and close to 51,000 testimonials were posted praising 125,000+ local leaders for helping their peers and communities through a turbulent year with many challenges, including high inflation, rising interest rates, and fears of a recession.

In fact, 67% of small businesses are still trying to reach the revenue levels they had prior to COVID, struggling to recover after nearly three years. This situation highlights how important it is for the contest winners to continue their work helping even more businesses bounce back from pandemic-era hurdles, as well as post-COVID problems that have emerged.

Supporting Each Other Is Key
"When you are a small business, it's important to support and recommend each other.  It's vital in remaining open." Explained Hinojosa. "Every small business in Terrell faces challenges of finding new clients, and the Alignable platform helps us to promote others in our community. I am grateful to have received this award and would like to thank the businesses that voted for me."

Hinojosa received a special badge that is displayed on her Alignable profile, recognizing her win. In past years, the awareness generated through similar contests has spurred expanded connections, as well as new business for many winners.

Driving Recognition Is Important
"This has been a fun and rewarding contest to watch unfold," said Alignable's President & Co-Founder Venkat Krishnamurthy. "Local business owners are the heart and soul of their communities, and they deserve to get much more recognition for all they do. Friendly competition aside, this contest generated some incredible peer testimonials, showing exactly why small business owners are stronger together."
