CottageCare Customer wins cash prize in "THANK YOU" Campaign

KANSAS CITY, MO, October 27, 2010 (Press-News.org) Marita O'Neil-Maloley received the biggest "Thank you" ever when she answered the phone on October 12th. It was Tom Schrader, CEO of CottageCare, and Karen Crawford, Manager of the Ft. Wayne, Indiana office, calling to inform her that she had won the $1000 prize giveaway. "I LOVE CottageCare," stated O'Neil-Maloley. "They make my life so much easier; I am always impressed with the girls who come to clean. They are so nice and professional, they do a great job and Ginger and Karen are a pleasure to work with. Thank you, CottageCare!" Ms. O'Neil-Maloley is not only a customer of CottageCare, but also a promoter.

This direct marketing campaign named, "Thanks-For-Your-Patronage," involved leaving a card behind thanking the client for their business and rewarding them with the opportunity to win a $1000 prize. Customers only needed to either fill out a information card to the provider, or go online to the company website to sign up for the contest. "I was just as thrilled to be able to give her the prize! We listen to our customers and we believe that to be the foundation of our success," said Crawford. "We've always felt we had the best customers by far in the business - we wanted to thank them for their business."

In addition to the $1000 prize, CottageCare will notify every customer who took the time to register and personally thank them for their continued patronage. Although they may not have won the grand prize, they will still have yet another opportunity at a prize. "If they refer a new customer, they still have an opportunity to receive $50 off the next cleaning, and the new customer would also receive $50 off their first cleaning," said Schrader.

There were nearly 1000 entries for this contest that ran from mid August through the end of September; a thousand more reasons to say "Thank you."
