Readers Favorites Awards Announced for 2016
Congratulations to the winners of this year’s Readers Favorites Awards. Baby & Children’s Product News has sponsored this awards program for the past 13 years and winners are determined by the publication’s readers, who consist of over 20,000+ retailers in the baby and children’s industry. Readers are asked to vote for their top three companies in each category via an online survey. Unlike many similar competitions, no suggestions are made to readers about which companies to vote for – there are no “nominees.” Instead, readers are allowed to vote for their favorite sources for a variety of products for babies and children – nearly 100 categories.
