Monica Kulesa, owner of ESS – Geiger, in Dover,
DE, received a Bronze Pyramid Award in the 45th Annual PPAI Golden Pyramid
Awards competition sponsored by Promotional Products Association International.
Twenty-eight winners of this prestigious award were recognized at a ceremony
held during the PPAI Expo 2003 in Las Vegas, Nevada.
The competition recognizes winners for outstanding
use of promotional products in marketing programs. Monica’s Consumer
Programs entry was for the launch of the “Kid’s Making Cents”
club by the Dover Federal Credit Union. The purpose was to create excitement
among the membership and encourage youth members to save.
Creativity and effectiveness were key elements in the judging process.
16 products were involved in the entry including custom products and four-color
process imprints on several items. At account opening, children received
a membership folder containing a custom savings register and coin saver,
money pencil, coloring book, and an informational flyer. Account holders
received additional promotional products when deposits were made. These
included: child-sized sports bottle, fanny pack, stickers, sticker activity
sheet, Kid’s Map of USA, reflective spoke sliders, piggy bank key
chain, color-me ruler, tie-dyed bean-bag bear with teeshirt and back pack,
cap, piggy bank, and a custom collectible coin. Carole Langiu, DFCU Marketing
Director, compiled the necessary statistics validating that over 50% of
the eligible children joined the club within the first nine months. The
program has been so successful that they are expanding the program to
age 16.
