Case Construction Equipment is now accepting entries for the Case Kickstart Contest, a business development contest where landscaping contractors can win prizes designed to take their company to the next level.

To enter the contest, landscape contractors must answer basic questions about their operation and describe how they would evolve their services by winning the contest.

“Many landscape contractors have the entrepreneurial spirit to grow their business, yet lack the assets to provide a catalyst for that growth,” said Scott Harris, vice president of North America, Case Construction Equipment. “Their work helps build and enhance our communities, which is a driving principle of our company. So we intend to reward that entrepreneurial spirit and desire to improve another community by boosting their business with efficient and powerful tools to help get them started.”

Case will name one grand prize winner and one runner-up, with the grand prize winner taking home the following package:

• A six-month lease on any one piece of Case Construction Equipment;
• A yearlong consultation with landscape industry expert Jeffrey Scott that includes in-depth business analysis, personal coaching and consultation, follow-ups throughout the year and a recap session to gauge results and set next steps;
• A $3,500 Case Parts & Service Reward Card to go towards the purchase of attachments, fluids, etc.;
• Fleet management consultation and recommendations from Case staff throughout 2018;
• New, custom-branded Case apparel and uniforms for staff; and
• Up to five passes to GIE+EXPO in Louisville, Ky.

The runner-up will receive select consultative and apparel considerations from Case. All entrants will receive a retail offer for $250 off the purchase of $3,500 or more in Case OEM attachments (valid April 1 through July 31).

Case representatives, along with Scott, will select the winning entry.

“We’ll be looking for a proven track record, but also a drive and dedication that makes it clear that this prize package will truly affect the winning company and each of its employees for the better,” Scott said. “We’re looking for entrepreneurs willing to do the work, to look at their business from a different perspective and reap the rewards when each component of the prize package is engaged.”

The entry deadline is March 30.
