Medtrade Spring is Seeking Entrants for Innovative HME Retail Product Awards

LAS VEGAS (Feb. 12, 2015) —The biannual Innovative HME Retail Product Awards, sponsored by HomeCare Magazine, honor HME products that are particularly suited for retail sale. The purpose of the competition is to promote and recognize products that contribute to providers’ bottom lines though cash sales.

If you are selling a great retail product, from a manufacturer that is scheduled to exhibit at Medtrade Spring (see exhibitor list here), encourage that manufacturer to enter the competition.

Products will be reviewed by judges and the top 10 will advance to an onsite (at Medtrade Spring) judging round. The top 10 products will be presented in a conference session, The Best New Retail/Cash Opportunities on Tuesday, March 31, at 1:30 p.m. Subsequent voting will determine the top three winners.

“Winning a retail award was a huge benefit,” says Steve Kirby, chief information officer, TidyTop. “To this day, we receive positive feedback from customers and prospects for winning the award. Many stores are carrying our product specifically because we won the Innovative Retail Product Award.”

“After the session, there was a line of people at our booth placing orders for the Rebound Health OTC TENS unit, and it didn’t stop there,” says Mariah Griffin, vice president, sales & marketing, BioMedical Life Systems. “After the win, there were additional press coverage opportunities, and the orders continue to grow as DME dealers and distributors experience success with the product first hand.”
