How does our product award program work?

87% of consumers have to trust a brand before they buy, and 90% are more likely to buy a product recommended to them.

We select families from our parenting community comprised of your target audience to test and review your product. Testing feedback is shared with you, providing your brand with valuable consumer insights. Once testing is completed, we review overall scores and feedback to determine if your product is a seal of approval winner. Products can be submitted from a wide range of categories.

What Winners Say

For over 15 years, PTPA has been helping brands get their products in front of consumers. Combining the PTPA Seal of Approval with our community of over 200,000 families across North America, PTPA has helped brands create impact and raise awareness for their products.

We have been submitting our products to be tested by PTPA families for the last 10 years. In the age of social media, peer reference is extremely important, and parents and grandparents look to PTPA to provide them with honest, unbiased reviews of products.

Leanne

Director of Sales

The PTPA seal adds great value and equity to Well Beginnings Diapers and provides an elevated brand experience the consumer is seeking when shopping for these products. The seal also helps to build trust and loyalty which is critical for diapers.

Michelle

Senior Product Manager

PTPA’s strategy, audience, and reach are a perfect fit for the Harlem Globetrotters’ brand and marketing strategy in the U.S. and Canada. PTPA is more than a community of moms and dads – they are led by a team of innovators who have helped shape the way the Globetrotters engage with fans on social media.

Eric

Senior Director

The brands that bear the Seal in North America are amongst the elite and we are honored to be a part of the program. The team behind the PTPA ‘curtain’ are very down-to-earth, responsive and aiming for a win-win situation for both sides. A company and brand are only as strong as the people behind it

Jennifer

Director of Marketing & Product Development

In a typical summer, PJ Masks would be participating in major fan-driven events like San Diego Comic Con, and we were looking for opportunities to connect virtually with consumers outside of our usual brand channels. PTPA was the perfect ‘one-stop shop’ for a digital campaign that successfully elevated our brand, apps, and products!
