Springfree jump for joy with another award!

In breaking news, Springfree™ Trampoline has been awarded with the 2010 Children’s Product of the Year Award USA.

Hosted in 28 countries, Product of the Year is the world’s largest consumer-voted program that recognizes innovation in consumer packaged goods.

In its second year, over 60,000 American shoppers voted on products in a survey conducted by TNS. Springfree™ Trampoline was just crowned as the Product of the Year in its category at the Awards Ceremony hosted by Phil Lemper in New York City.

Springfree™ Trampoline is the only trampoline design that has effectively removed the risk of product induced injury. With over 200,000 kids injured worldwide each year on spring-based trampoline designs, for every 15 Springfree™ Trampoline’s sold, one child is kept out of hospital. Springfree™ Trampoline’s Global Marketing Director, Kristen Hill accepted the award on behalf of the company.

“On the tail-end of such a highly sought-after and recognized award, Springfree™ Trampoline could not be launching into the North American Market any better.”

“This Award reflects Springfree™ Trampoline’s commitment to safety and innovation and the independent voting process is a testament to parents’ belief in choosing the safest products for their children.”

“We are honored to be receiving this international success but also thrilled that consumers recognize and appreciate the innovatation that is Springfree™ Trampoline,” Hill Says.

Just last week, Springfree™ Trampoline was named 2010 Canadian Product of the Year – Around the Home category and was also recognized as the judges’ number one choice on top of the category crown.

About Product of the Year

Product of the Year is the only consumer product award that rewards innovation and is voted on by real consumers. Established 22 years ago in France, POY currently operates in 28 countries with the same purpose: Guide consumers to the best products in their market and reward manufacturers for quality and innovation. Backed by the votes of 60,000 consumers, the distinct red POY logo serves as shortcut for shoppers in the supermarket, saving them time and money. For manufacturers of the winning products, the award is a powerful marketing message proven to increase retail distribution and sales by an average of 10-15%. Product of the Year accepts entries every year from consumer packaged goods that demonstrate innovation and were launched within the previous year. Entered products are then placed into specific categories such as food, beverages, personal care, household care, etc. with a product then being chosen as a winner in its category through a nationally representative online study.

Springfree Win Award

Springfree™ Trampoline Proudly Accepts
Parent’s Choice Foundation Recommendation

The Parent’s Choice Foundation has selected Springfree™ Trampoline as one of the winners of its coveted 2009 children’s toy awards. The Foundation is the nation’s oldest nonprofit guide to quality children’s media and toys.

According to the Foundation’s recommendation “Although our judges are not in the habit of awarding trampolines, the Springfree had so many unique safety features that they couldn’t deny. Our testers, ranging in age from six to sixty-six, found skills they hadn’t known, confidence that needed reawakening, and a hefty dose of much needed family fun. If your family has been thinking about a trampoline, this is highly recommended and worth serious consideration”

This Award reflects Springfree™ Trampoline’s commitment to safety and innovation and is a testament of parent’s belief in choosing the safest products for their children.

Steven Holmes, President and CEO of Springfree™ Trampoline says he’s delighted to receive this recognition from such an esteemed organization.

“We are proud to be recommended by the Foundation whose award panel includes educators, performing artists, parents, scientists and children who endeavor to evaluate products objectively, and pass unbiased reliable feedback onto other parents so they can make informed choices.”

“We are humbled by this recognition and thank our team, and the loyal families who believe in our products. Trampolines provide so many developmental and health benefits but until the Springfree™ Trampoline the benefits were outweighed by the risk. Each and every part of the patented design is specifically engineered from quality materials all over the world, with safety being our number one priority.”
