I would like to extend our congratulations to this year’s winners of the TWICE VIP Awards! This year saw a wide gamut of products ranging from streaming turntables, truly wireless headphones to the latest TVs and major appliances. The response to the 7th Annual TWICE VIP Awards was spectacular, with over 80 entries across 43 categories to vote on.
One of the things that make the TWICE VIP Awards so unique is that it isn’t a public vote by people who know nothing about the submissions or the industry. No, the awards are voted on by you, the industry leaders, consumer tech retailers and distributors who know greatness, innovation and what makes the biggest difference in the business. Earning the respect of your peers is a hard-won accomplishment, especially in our industry, and I am proud to be a part of the 2020 TWICE VIP Awards.
I want to offer my congratulations to each of the winners, with a special congratulation to LG, who took home the Super VIP Award thanks to its ability to lock down eight wins.
