Malaysian consumers choose 25 products as Product Of The Year winners for 2017/18!
20 Jun
Recently, 25 products voted by 2,000 consumers, were announced as Product of the Year Malaysia (POY) winners in their respective categories at a glitzy ceremony at the Sime Darby Convention Centre.
“The winners were decided from the results of a consumer research study by Nielsen Malaysia. This was done after a panel of judges met to shortlist and streamline the entries,” said Professor Harmandar Singh, Director of Product of the Year Asia.
“The Product of the Year logo tells consumers this is a good product, not because we say so, but because consumers chose that product as the best in its category.”
“Now in its fourth year, Product of the Year in Malaysia is fast becoming the benchmark of consumer confidence in Malaysia,” adds Harmandar Singh, “Starting July 2017, consumers across Malaysia can shop easily by recognising the latest winners with the red Product of the Year logo which will be on packaging, advertising and in-store displays.”
The Product of the Year awards is in over 40 countries and across the five continents. Winning products for this fourth Product of the Year Malaysia awards are for new products or innovations in 2016.
The brainchild of French entrepreneur Christian Le Bret, the Product of the Year marketing concept was launched more than 26 years ago, with the critical objective of the need for a robust mechanism to allow consumers to be well informed about new and innovative products.
