RICHMOND, VA -- (Marketwire) -- 08/11/09 -- "I was looking for a new refrigerator. So I
went to ColorTyme.com and signed-up
for the e-mail coupons. About a week later, I received a message saying I
had won," said Melissa Payne, a resident of Chesterfield, Va., and the
winning customer of the ColorTyme $500 E-mail Sweepstakes.
Every day in May and June, rent to own customers entered to win the
Sweepstakes by visiting ColorTyme.com. Once they were on the
Web site, they could then submit their zip code to find their closest
ColorTyme store and then select "Sign-Up For E-mail Specials."
Due to the success of the Sweepstakes, ColorTyme will be looking to repeat
it again next year to encourage more customers to sign-up to receive e-mail
specials. In the meantime, customers can still register to receive e-mail
offers that include coupons and relevant news related to rent to own
electronics, furniture, appliances and computers.
"We were so happy that one of our customers won the Sweepstakes," said
Shawn Adams, assistant manager for the ColorTyme store in Richmond. "The
franchise owners -- Tony and Tanya Nickolas -- celebrated with Melissa on
winning the $500."
Simply by registering, subscribers initially receive an e-mail coupon for
one free week of rent at their local Hometown ColorTyme store.
"This e-mail marketing program empowers our ColorTyme franchisees to connect
with their customers," said ColorTyme Director of Marketing, Amy Woods.
"The $500 E-mail Sweepstakes is something that we do, as the franchisor, to
help excite our franchisees' customers."
