OAKBROOK TERRACE, Ill. -- Successful new products are the lifeblood of the convenience store retailing industry. For the 12th consecutive year, you can nominate your product for CSP's Retailer Choice Best New Product Contest. From Feb. 23 to June 19, 2015, both retailers and suppliers can submit nominations for 2015's best new products in 24 categories. You can submit a product by visiting www.cspnet.com/2015bestnewproduct to fill out a form, or by listing the company name and product with the hashtag #CSPnpc2015 on Facebook, Instagram or Twitter.
Eligible products are those released in the convenience retailing format between Aug. 1, 2014, and July 31, 2015. Nominated products should show innovation, uniqueness and groundbreaking advancement in a product or service category.
You may nominate as many products as you like; each nomination is free.
"The rapid changes and expectations that have transpired in the c-store industry would have been hard to imagine just a few years ago," said Abbie Westra, editor in chief of CSP's Convenience Store Products magazine. "CSP's Retailer Choice Best New Product Contest gives the suppliers a truly significant award to honor the innovative products that have made these transformations possible."
Following the close of the nomination period, retailers operating in the channel will have a chance to vote on the top three finalists (based on the number of nominations per product) in selected categories.
CSP will announce the winners during the NACS Show® in October, and it will display them in an article in the December 2015 issue of CSP magazine.
