At work you probably favor some products over others and your input influences purchases in the office. Now you have an opportunity to support your favorites by voting in the 2007 Hygiene Townie Choice Awards. Each Townie gets one vote per category and your vote will decide the product winners. Don’t miss this opportunity to vote for your favorites; even if you don’t post in the discussion, your vote is important.

Voting is done on our Web site: www.hygienetown.com. If you haven’t already registered on the site, you will need to do that to vote. Registration is a simple and quick process, and what little personal information you must enter for verification is kept strictly confidential. When you finish registering, you will receive an e-mail with a link you must click to activate your account. That’s all it takes to register. Now you’re ready to vote!

Click the Townie Choice Awards icon on the home page to access your personal ballot. From there, you simply click on your favorite product in each section then click the submit button to vote. If you have time, you can mark the entire ballot in one sitting, or if you have to go somewhere, you can return to your ballot later on to finish the process. Voting begins July 16, 2007, and winners will be announced in the December issue of Hygienetown Magazine. This is your opportunity to select your favorites. Your vote matters!
