Prime Announces Prime Madness Contest; Final Four Tickets Up for Grabs
Prime Line® announced its "Prime Madness" sales contest, which offers distributor salespeople prizes that include Final Four tickets, Samsung TVs, Apple products and Amazon gift cards for each order of $7,500 or more. The contest runs January 1 through February 29, 2016 and is open to U.S. and Canadian distributors. Prize options and contest rules are posted on Prime Line’s Facebook page.
The Final Four prize package includes two good seats to the 2016 NCAA Men’s Basketball National Semifinals or Championship Game plus the VIP Pregame Experience, which includes entrance to the NCAA Experience Pregame Party and meet and greets and photos with NCAA legends Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and Elvin Hayes, the co-hosts of the event. "For most, this prize represents a once in lifetime opportunity to experience the Final Four in a more interactive way that can be shared, which in itself is highly motivating," said David Fiderer, Prime's director of marketing. Custom and overseas orders placed with Source Abroad By Prime, a factory direct overseas sourcing division of Prime Line®, are eligible for the contest.
Distributors should mark qualifying purchase orders with the salesperson's name and the promo code: MADNESS. Once a qualifying order has been paid, distributors can redeem their prize by e-mailing their choice of prize, shipping information along with the invoice number to contest@primeline.com. Prizes will ship two to four weeks after redemption.

Consumer Confidence Up in December
U.S. consumer sentiment rose in December to its highest level since July, lifted in part by low inflation, which has boosted Americans’ purchasing power. The University of Michigan's consumer sentiment index rose to 92.6 from 91.3 in November. That's just below this year's average of 92.9, the highest annual average in 11 years.
