What do past winners say?

How has winning a New Product Contest award helped you gain exposure in the industry?

At every opportunity Rain Bird highlights our award with customers and internally as it is a selling tactic and source of pride. The fact that only a few products are recognized each year brings legitimacy and interest to a new product that a customer might otherwise be skeptical of. We are honored to be a 2023 New Product Contest winner! — Sean Azad, Rain Bird Corporation

Winning the New Product Contest award significantly elevated our industry visibility, positioning our product as innovative and noteworthy. This recognition opened doors to valuable networking opportunities, increased media coverage, and boosted our credibility among industry peers and potential clients. — Joe Holohan, Superior
