New Hope Network introducing NEXTY Consumer Choice Awards

NEXTY Awards are a prestigious recognition of excellence, chosen by natural product industry experts, to award the most innovative, inspiring and trustworthy natural products. Now consumers are being asked to weigh in.

New Hope Network and Sampler, a digital product sampling technology, have teamed up to bring wellness brands a new opportunity to be recognized. At Natural Products Expo East 2018, set for Sept. 12-15 at the Baltimore Convention Center in Baltimore, three brands will walk away with the title of the first winners of the new NEXTY Consumer Choice Awards.

Sampler’s product sampling management and insights platform will enable brands to target and deliver samples to consumers based on demographic, behavior and interest. Consumers receive samples and have the opportunity to taste and interact with them, and then rate products and provide targeted consumer feedback. New Hope Network will then name six finalists from food and beverage; personal care and natural living products; and supplements. The single winner in each category will be awarded with the NEXTY Consumer Choice Award at this year’s Natural Products Expo East.

The six finalist brands will receive: 

• Recognition of excellence in the natural products industry and proof that your product has market traction in its category.
• Shipping and handling to deliver product to 1,000 consumers’ homes.
