Readers’ Choice Awards

Recognition of the Top 30 companies from the past year.

By DPS Staff

Congratulations to the winners of the 2010 Top 30 Readers’ Choice Awards. Each vendor profiled offers innovative products and services that provoked DPS readers to request more information throughout the past year. Winners are determined by reader response to editorial and advertisements—both in print and online—throughout 2010. DPSmagdirect.com, our inquiry tracking system, captures requests for product information showcased in print and on the Web throughout the year. We use this data to generate the Top 30 Readers’ Choice Awards.

DPS understands the importance of media integration; therefore we’ve made it easier to find more information on important industry players, trends, and solutions through multiple channels. In our print issues, INFO#s are assigned to companies mentioned in articles, news, advertisements, and charts. With these numbers, visit www.DPSmagdirect.com and search through companies and topics covered in the latest print issue as well as archived print and Web content. Integration is even easier with our digital editions, which link directly through to DPSmagdirect.com. This user-friendly Web portal offers a shopping-cart-like experience—the product is knowledge and the price is free.

We asked winners to provide a company description and up to three top selling or recently introduced products and services. This enables readers to pinpoint key trends and request relevant information.
