2012 - Christian Retailing`s Best

2012 R ETAI LE R S CHOICE AWAR DS
Retailers have chosen the winners
in the 12th annual Retailers Choice
Awards, sponsored by Christian
Retailing magazine.
They selected their best of the year
from among the 300-plus products
nominated in 41 categories.
Introduced in 2001, the Retailers Choice Awards have been increasingly acknowledged as
an important way of recognizing some of the most significant new life-changing products in
the Christian retail industry.
Products nominated were judged on the impact they had on staff and customers, including
their ability to speak to hearts and evoke emotion, open minds to new ways of thinking and
encourage and affirm Christlike living.
