CELEBRATING LANCASTER COUNTY'S PEOPLE, SCENERY,

HERITAGE, STYLE & POINT OF VIEW SINCE 1987.

And, The Award Goes to …

We’re so proud! An ad placed in Lancaster County Magazine by Lezzer Lumber won first place in Pillar Awards competition sponsored by the Building Industry Association of Lancaster County. The awards dinner was held November 21 at the Inn at Leola Village.  

The ad “Build Lancaster” was a full-page print advertisement featured in the September-October 2024 issue of LCM. The ad’s primary purpose was to make readers aware of the relationship that exists between quality building materials and product lines available at Lezzer Lumber, and the fact that they are often used throughout Lancaster County by builders, remodelers and DIYers.

As the second-largest building materials dealer in the state, Lezzer’s ad showcases a wide variety of marquee product lines the company brings to Lancaster County. Some unique associations were drawn in the ad. First, the custom home that is featured was built by another Pillar Award-winner, TK Building & Design. Secondly, the word “BUILD” was created by utilizing AI technology. Each letter is made with a texture commonly used in building custom homes: “B” was made of lumber; “U” was made with OSB; “I” was made with a Reeb Door; “L” was made from DiamondKote Siding; and “D” was made with a Wellborn Cabinet. The goal of the ad was to inspire residents and builders alike to continue to grow and “BUILD LANCASTER.” 

Lezzer also won the category, Best Social Media Campaign, through which the important roles women play in the company are highlighted (Lezzer has 14 locations across the state, including three in Lancaster County). Lezzer also won the Community Impact Award, as well as was named Associate Partner of the Year.   

The Pillar Awards, which is an annual competition for the association’s members, are arranged in four categories: Advertising & Marketing Achievement; Company and Professional Achievement; Remodeling Project Achievement; and Associate Partner. Each entry is judged on its own merit by a group of industry professionals.
