Better Homes and Gardens Magazine and BrandSpark International Team Up Again for 4th Annual Best New Product Awards

NEW YORK, June 7, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Better Homes and Gardens magazine, the largest consumer magazine in the country, today announced that it will again join forces with leading independent market research firm BrandSpark International for the fourth annual Better Homes and Gardens Best New Product Awards and American Shopper Study.  The results are tabulated from an independent survey of more than 60,000 American shoppers, making it the largest and most credible consumer products awards program in the U.S. This year, Best New Product Awards will be given out to winning products in over 40 categories in the areas of food and beverage, health and beauty, and household. Better Homes and Gardens will also share the results with its 40 million readers and online fans.

Now in its fourth year in the U.S. and ninth year in Canada, the Best New Product Awards provides manufacturers and consumers a barometer of what products, trends and innovations are most important to shoppers.  This is the only consumer awards program that ensures representation from the country's top brands and products and is 100% consumer voted, making it truly a vote of America's best.  Last year, the Best New Product Awards represented more than 139 products from 55 manufacturers including leading brands like General Mills, L'Oreal, Procter & Gamble, SC Johnson, and Unilever.

"Past category winners in our Best New Product Awards enjoy a profitable return on their investment as they incorporate their win in marketing communications, in-store displays and packaging," said Robert Levy, CEO of BrandSpark International. "In fact, research shows that including the logo on packaging influences four in ten shoppers and at retail it can drive an 18% sales increase," says Levy.

"With so many new products introduced every year, women are increasingly looking for new product recommendations that are trusted by fellow consumers," says James Carr, SVP/Group Publisher, Better Homes and Gardens. "Our consumer voted program provides shoppers with peer-to-peer product reviews of the best new products launched and allows marketers to stay on top of what matters most to today's shoppers."
