Isn't this a bit like a car dealer giving Chevy an award for being easy to creating products that are easy to sell?
"This includes best-selling, innovative products, responsive back-end support, and marketing and communications that deliver more qualified buyers."
I'd love to see a consumer-based satisfaction award.
I take little stock in such an award other than it being good for a press release.

Trailer Life just released their 2015 Readers Choice Awards. It's the 4th annual TL poll and is completely "consumer based" with voting done by readers of Trailer Life Magazine. The results:
Most popular fifth wheel:
Gold: Grand Design
Silver: Keystone
Bronze: Forest River
Most popular travel trailer:
Gold: Keystone
Silver: Lance
Bronze: Jayco
Most popular truck for towing:
Gold: Ford
Silver: RAM
Bronze: Chevy
These results (and much more) are published in the January 2016 issue of Trailer Life.
The "limitations" of the poll, IMHO, if few (or no) readers owned or used a specific brand, they were likely not to vote for something they didn't use, so relatively new items, or those with a small, local distribution or worse yet, products that were in both categories, likely didn't get enough votes to score in the top three, even if they were better than the products that were rated as "gold, silver or bronze".....
