VUDU Inc., the company that brings instant access to video-entertainment
to the living room, today announced that it has been named the "Best
Product: Digital Home" at the RetailVision Spring 2008 Event -- the
premier global event for the retail consumer channel. VUDU also participated
in the first FRESH product showcase event held during RetailVision where
select companies presented their product to over 200 Top Level Retailers,
eTailers, and Direct Marketers.
"VUDU is truly honored to receive the Best Product for the Digital
Home category," said Patrick Cosson, vice president of marketing,
VUDU. "We believe it is a testament to the innovative product and
entertainment experience we have developed and exemplifies the close relationships
we are building with the retail channel."
The winners of the "Best of RetailVision Awards" are selected
by decision-makers from Top Level merchants, who are responsible for selecting
products and services to be offered to the consumer market. VUDU won this
prestigious "people's choice" award in a secret ballot of the
attendees during the exclusive two day event in Orlando, FL, April 15-16th,
2008.
"The Digital Home Award represents the best of the consumer tech
products currently on the market and are chosen by the retailers themselves,
the ones who shape the market," said Ray Robidoux, Sightline Group,
a leading retail channel consulting firm. "I believe companies such
as VUDU, who were so well received by the retail community at this year's
show, have a promising future."
