By launching the Bulls-Eye Ad Awards contest we are able to honor our customers with an award for Marketing Excellence. We also get to see how unique and creative they are when featuring vanity 800 numbers in all forms of media and targeting a variety of markets, says Laura Noonan, VP of Marketing at 800response, located in Burlington, VT.
Judging of the Bulls-Eye Ad Awards kicked off on December 13, 2005 with judges viewing, reading and listening to hours of advertisements calling out phone numbers like, 1-800-NEW-BASEMENT, 1-800-NEW-GLASS, and 1-800-NEW-RIDE.
The Contest:
In August 2005, 800response (www.800response.com) announced the first annual Bulls-Eye Ad Awards contest. The contest called for entries from customers who feature vanity 800 phone numbers in the following forms of creative media; print, direct mail, radio, television, outdoor and alternative media. Additionally, there was a category for overall integration of a vanity 800 number across multiple forms of marketing media. Each submission was rated on three criteria: placement, clarity and prominence of the vanity 800 numbers within creative materials.
We work with local business owners all across the country, but we dont always get to see how they use our services. Its amazing how broad our customer base is when it comes to industry representation, and the contest is a fantastic opportunity for us to see how differently each customer goes about their marketing strategy, says Kathryn Rossner, VP of Sales with 800response.
800response will announce the call for entries for the Second Annual Bulls-Eye Ad Awards in third quarter of 2006, with champions again chosen by the end of the calendar year.
We look forward to rolling out the 2006 Bulls-Eye Ad Awards, gathering more submissions and honoring our customers from all corners of the country, says Noonan.
