ACTIVATION PRINCIPLES
1. Activate at “First Moment of Truth”
The at-a-glance and intuitive nature of the
Product of the Year award makes it an effective
credentialing device at point of purchase.
2. Reference the 14,500
Consumers respond to knowing that winning
products have been voted on by shoppers like
them. 56% of shoppers are likely to buy a
product recommended by 14,500 consumers
(Nielsen research)
3. Integrate into message
Most effective communication of the Product
of the Year award is integrated within the brand
message, not merely stand alone.
4. Not meant for the corner
The Product of the Year logo was purposely
designed and tested to “pop” and attract attention
across all marketing environments.
5. Extend the “new”
Product of the Year is not only designed to
strengthen the communication of “new”, but once
the 6 month window of claiming “new” closes, the
Product of the Year logo extends the perception of
news for products in the market
5
PRESS RELEASE
Prepare and release an announcement of the Product
of the Year win for distribution on February 11th 2016.
Emphasize the specifics of the product innovation
and reference that Product of the Year is a consumer
based award for innovation.
Use Brand Team quote to integrate other consumer
related data / insights.
For immediate release February 25, 2015
Capilano honey voted best spread by Australian consumers
Capilano headquarters is buzzing with excitement on the back of winning a coveted Product of the Year award – the world’s largest consumer-voted award for product quality and innovation.
Capilano’s limited edition, small batch 'Dark & Bold' and 'Light & Smooth' flavours were voted best in the Sweet Spreads & Sauces category.
Capilano Managing Director Ben McKee said the award win was especially sweet given that it was voted for by more than 15,000 Australians.
“We’d like to thank Australian consumers for continuing to keep Capilano honey on their kitchen shelf and supporting trusted Australian products and our nation’s beekeepers,” Mr McKee said.
The winning Capilano products are 100 per cent Australian honey blends, crafted to an expert honey blender’s exacting standards using the best of the Australian honey currently in season. Just like fine wine, it takes a craftsman with decades of experience to blend different honey varietals to make the perfect honey blend.
“These blends are crafted by our honey experts to a fine science, giving them a small batch number which is printed on the label and making them truly unique,” Mr McKee says.
“Both of these honey flavours will not be found like this anywhere else in the world and given their limited edition small-batch status, once they are gone, they are gone.”
Capilano Dark & Bold is a dark reddish, pure Australian honey with a gentle sweetness and a mild caramel-like flavour.
Capilano Light & Smooth is light golden in colour with a noticeable fragrance and a sweet, clean finish.
Since 1953, Capilano Honey has been supplied amazing honey by Australian beekeepers. Nowadays, more than 500 beekeeping families from all over the country contribute to the ongoing success of the Capilano brand.
So, how do you enjoy your Capilano limited-edition honey? Here are a few of the most popular ways:
• As a delicious traditional topping on toast, crumpets and cereal • To accompany a cheese platter when entertaining • In a freshly made brew of spiced honey apple tea • On vegetable sticks alongside peanut butter, ricotta or cottage cheese • Straight from the spoon (just don’t double dip!).

TELEVISION
A growing number of winners are developing dedicated
TV spots to announce the Product of the Year win.
A dedicated message allows the spot to be executed as
a :15 and within the character of the brand.
Most winners repurpose existing product launch spots,
tagging the Product of the Year win as a :05 tag.

PACKAGING
Registering the Product of the Year logo on package
has proven breakthrough on shelf and positively
impacts purchase consideration.
Logo treatment is highly dependent on available
label real estate.
The required # of consumers voting and category
name can be referenced on back if packaging space
is limited.
Ensure greatest impact by placing logo in context of
important product attribute information or dominant
package features (i.e. lids / tops).
10
PACKAGING
Most effective activation on package includes a front
and back execution of the Product of the Year logo.
Back of package logo execution may contain more
information of the Product of the Year award.
Side of pack execution should also be a consideration
depending on how product is shelved.
