HOLLYWOOD, Fla., May 11, 2015 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Women across America have spoken and identified the brands and services they can trust and use most often as America’s Most Recommended. As a leading advocate for female consumers, the Women’s Choice Award® will recognize 27 outstanding brands and services, in a May announcement of USA Today, for their commitment to empowering women to make the best choices for themselves and their families.
For consumers, the Women’s Choice Award seal allows women to choose with confidence, knowing that other women across America have tried and experienced that brand or service and would highly recommended it to their family and friends.
According to the 2015 Marketing to Women Conference, research shows that women are more likely to purchase a product if they have a recommendation from their family, friends or peers. Furthermore, in a 2014 benchmark survey by Women’s Certified Inc. titled “How Women Choose Media,” women identified a recommendation as the second leading reason for why they chose a brand.
“When a woman is willing to stake her reputation on a recommendation, it means that brands have earned her loyalty. Those are the brands we are delighted to recognize for meeting the needs and preferences of their customer,” said Delia Passi, CEO and Founder of the Women’s Choice Award.
