As voted on by industry distributors, here are the recipients of this year’s Counselor Distributor Choice Awards.

Call it the People’s Choice Awards of the ad specialty industry. Welcome to the 2009 Counselor Distributor Choice Awards, where distributors choose their favorite suppliers. Broken up into 46 categories, along with four brand

new categories this year, you’ll find stories from the winning suppliers on the following pages. We asked each of the 33 winning companies – there are some suppliers that won multiple categories and even one company that won a total of eight categories – to provide an image of their top selling product in the category they won, as well as a testimonial from a distributor customer.

Of course, each year we also name one supplier that stands out above the rest, one company that received the highest ratings in the whole industry from ad specialty distributors. Click here to view the full list of Winners.
