Love using the ECHO Means Business mobile app? You're in good company - it's been called "Facebook for the green industry" by users, and we couldn't agree more. Simple, fun, and a great way to connect with fellow pros, offer and receive advice to help grow your business.
To say thank you for making the app such a success, we're excited to add a brand new feature, and one where you can win some cool swag just for using the app like you normally do!
Last year, we introduced a Leaderboard on the ECHO Means Business website. This was a fun addition that gave registered members points for interactions on our forum - asking a question, answering a question, taking part in polls, etc. The Leaderboard would be updated every day over the month, and then refreshed for each new month, so you could see who was in the lead daily, weekly, and monthly.
At the time, this was just for registered members on the website - but after its success, we're opening up the Leaderboard for our mobile app too, and you can take part right now! Simply continue to use the app as you already do, and you will automatically earn points for each interaction. These points will be added up, and the monthly winners will each receive a cool swag bag from our sponsor, ECHO USA, including baseball caps, Red Armor Oil, hand scrub, cool keychains, and more!
There are several ways you can earn points while using the app. See below for details:

As you can see, it's easy to rack up your points! There's a lot of points up for grabs, and even more if you currently use the app just for checking out articles or posts. Now, by uploading your own pictures or tips, you'll get triple the amount of points, and they all go to the Leaderboard where you can see how you're faring against everyone else!
Of course, since the Leaderboard has been running on the ECHO Means Business website for a while, you can earn even more points by taking part in forum discussions on the main site. These points will be on top of any you earn through the mobile app, so by being an active and valuable part of this awesome community of green pros, you'll be rewarded with points galore!

Okay, so you're now rightly excited about the fun that awaits you on the mobile app, and you're heading off there now to start taking part in the community - but what's up for grabs for the monthly Leaderboard winners? Thanks to our sponsor ECHO USA, you can win the following:
