WFCAAnaheim, Calif. – This May the World Floor Covering Association (WFCA) was again honored with the distinguished Golden Thinker Award from North American Precis Syndicate (NAPS). The award recognizes exceptional editorial placement and is only awarded to a fractional number of companies across the country each year.

According to sources at NAPS, the WFCA program received extraordinarily high placement volume with 3,444 press outlets from all 50 states and Puerto Rico picking up its articles; this number is more than double WFCA’s previous media placement record. WFCA’s winning stories had major competition for the coveted award with most Fortune 500 companies, nearly all of the largest 100 national advertisers, the 20 major PR firms, over 100 other associations, and many government agencies contending with their own articles.

Only stories that receive over 800 hits are eligible for this award. WFCA’s articles were picked up by a number of newspapers, including: The Chicago Tribune; The Wall Street Journal; The Washington Times; The Los Angeles Times, and USA Today. To date, nearly 85,000,000 consumers in both large and small markets have viewed stories the WFCA has run with NAPS.

This is the sixth such award the WFCA has received from NAPS.
