Mercerville, N.J.— Congoleum Corp. is ready
to help inject some fuel into the sluggish economy by rewarding retail sales-
people with more than $300,000 in cash and prizes as part of its popular Cash
Call Sweepstakes. “Since we received such overwhelming positive feedback from
our past Cash Call Sweepstakes,” said Dennis Jarosz, Congoleum’s senior vice
president of sales and marketing, “there seemed like no time better than now
to launch another comprehensive sweepstakes program to reward those people who
are bringing Congoleum to increasingly higher levels of success.”
The bonanza began on Sept. 1 and runs through
Oct. 31. As with previous Cash Call contests, participating and winning are
simple. First, the sweepstakes is open to every retail salesperson currently
employed by a registered Congoleum Retail Mar keting Program or Design Studio
dealer. The salesperson automatically wins with every qualifying job registered
with the contest’s hotline. Qualifying products include the resilient
manufacturer’s DuraStone HPF, Ultima, Ovations, Celestial and Designer Inlaid
sheet, and Evolution, Forum Plank, Regal Plank and Grandeur tile products. To
automatically win a prize, up to $5,000 in cash, a sales-person just needs to
register the qualifying job at 800/438-8872 between 8:30 a.m. and 7 p.m. Central
time, Monday through Friday, excluding holidays. With each job registered,
Congoleum will mail off a scratch-off instant win Cash Call ticket. Each ticket
is a guaranteed winner, including cash prizes of $10, $25, $100, $500, $1,000
and $5,000.
In addition to the monetary rewards, free Häagen
Dazs ice cream can be won. But, as Dennis Jarosz, Congoleum’s senior vice
president of sales and marketing, noted, “The winning doesn’t end with
instant prizes.” As with previous Cash Call events, each qualifying registered
job is automatically entered in the grand prize sweepstakes drawing with a top
prize of $100,000 in cash, awarded on the spot during a special, gala ceremony
in Philadelphia. In addition to the $100,000 grand prize, nine other prizes will
be awarded, including:
• Second place: A trip to London and Paris via the QE II and Concord;
• Third place: A four island Hawaiian tour;
• Fourth place: A stay at Canyon Ranch Spa in Tucson, Ariz.;
• Fifth place: A trip to the Bahamas;
• Sixth place (2): A trip to Las Vegas, and
• Seventh place (3): Two round trip plane tickets to anywhere in the
continental United States or Canada.
“This is the most exciting time in
Congoleum’s history,” concluded Jarosz. “With our recent string of
phenomenal product successes, we wanted to be sure our enthusiasm and momentum
was experienced by the entire retail community.” Including this year’s
contest, the resilient manufacturer will have handed out more than one million
dollars in cash and prizes since its inception in 1994. For more information on
the contest, call Congoleum at 800/234-8811. —Matthew Spieler
