Commentary
And the winner is...
In the aerosol product universe, there is no shortage of aerosol awards for
finished products on the shelves, prototype components and new technology.
This is a great way to not only acknowledge new products and technologies,
but to learn something, as well. It’s also a very good way to show off…
even if you don’t win, your innovation is still out there, getting written about
and getting its image splashed up on a big screen at an industry event. It’s all
about promotion, promotion,
promotion.
Right off of the top of my
head, I can think of several
awards that SPRAY either attends,

What are you waiting for? Submit your innovation! Don’t know how, where
or when? Regularly check www.spraytm.com for announcements of awards
seeking submissions. Hosting an aerosol award program but not getting a lot
of responses? Be sure to send us a press announcement and we’ll help get the
good word out. That’s our job, promoting the aerosol product. What better way
than to throw them their own galas?
I don’t want an award; I want to be in SPRAY…
Our staff often gets asked what it takes to get a product featured in SPRAY.
There are many considerations involved; however the main factor is that we
have to know it even exists. We regularly troll supermarkets, hardware stores
and drug stores looking for the latest aerosol products, but we would rather
hear from you, the marketers and suppliers, who know the features and benefits
of your products better than anyone. If you have a recently-launched product,
component, ingredient or technology that you would like to see featured in
SPRAY, please reach out. We can tell you exactly what you need to send to get
that product considered for publication. It’s not a magic formula available to
others, it’s simply establishing contact. This goes for other good news as well,
such as new facilities or plant expansions, executive hires, new patents or new
formulations.
