PG Seeks 2011 Editors’ Picks Entries

Progressive Grocer is now seeking entries for our annual Editors’ Picks August 2011 issue, which will once again recognize the best new consumer products submitted for consideration and introduced in the past year.

Long considered the lifeblood of grocery retailing, new products are indispensable means of attracting retail buyers’– and more importantly, consumers’ – attention, and PG’s Editors’ Picks will once again showcase a new slate of winners that will be judged on the following criteria:

INNOVATION: In new packaging application; ingredient enhancements; abilities to grow/develop a new and/or existing category; new flavors/varieties/portion sizes; and positioning against the most important market and consumer trends, among others

TASTE/FUNCTIONALITY: How the new product lives up to taste/quality expectations, as well as functionality and utilitarian attributes

VALUE: How well the product delivers on overall value proposition (i.e., price, packaging, quality and convenience)

Winners will be honored in the August 2011 print edition of Progressive Grocer, as well as on our website.

Enter today!
