Product of the Year Announces 2016 Award Winners
NEW YORK, Feb. 12, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Product of the Year USA, the largest consumer-voted award for product innovation, has announced the 2016 award winners. The winning products are selected through the votes of over 40,000 consumers in a national representative survey each year conducted by research partner TNS, a global leader in consumer research.
"Consumers are looking for quick, in-and-out experiences in stores when making their everyday household purchases," said Rich Fryling, managing director, Product of the Year USA. "The red Product of the Year Award seal lets shoppers know that over 40,000 fellow consumers prefer the winning products over the competition."
Product of the Year was established 29 years ago. The company now operates in 42 countries with the goal of guiding consumers to the best products on shelf while rewarding manufacturers for quality and innovation.
Product of the Year takes submissions of innovative products launched within the previous year. These product submissions are placed into categories such as food, beverages, home improvement, pet, etc., with one product being named the category winner based on the results of a TNS survey of 40,000 consumers.
The following winners were announced at last night's 2016 Product of the Year Awards Ceremony at the Edison Ballroom in New York City hosted by "Saturday Night Live" alum Rachel Dratch and NBC "30 Rock" comedian Scott Adsit, with red carpet interviews conducted by Cat Greenleaf, host of NBC's "Talk Stoop".
