Top Christian Products Vie for 9th Annual Retailers Choice Awards

By Kevin P. Donovan, Christian Post Reporter Wednesday, February 25, 2009

Nominations for the 9th Retailers Choice Awards are now being accepted and can be made until Mar. 6.

Sponsored by Christian Retailing magazine, the annual awards program lets Christian retailers give their seal of approval on the best new Christian products of the year.

Since it was introduced in 2001, the Retailers Choice Awards program has been increasingly acknowledged as an important way of recognizing some of the most significant new life-changing materials in the $4.6 billion Christian products industry.

Products can be entered in 35 categories with new prizes to be awarded for the Best Church Supply and Christian Education products. This year, there will also be new awards for the Best Backlist Product, the Best Marketing/Promotion Campaign, and the Top New Supplier.

Last year, suppliers submitted 245 entries in 31 categories.

The winners of the 2009 Retailers Choice Awards will be announced at the International Christian Retail Show in Denver in July.
