I think awards can help... somewhat. I don't know about the genre awards, but the Newbery Award does translate directly into sales. As soon as you win it, the vast majority of the 9000+ public libraries and 90,000+ school libraries in this country will automatically purchase your book.
Now, as for translating into -continuing- sales, can't say much about that.
