Local company Cartridge World of Conyers recently won the 2009 CWNA Marketing Grant Award for their creative marketing around their second year anniversary in May.

The concept was to commemorate the second year of business as well as thanking customers for two years of patronage and attracting new customers. Throughout the month, customers received a 10 percent discount and the company held weekly drawings with door prizes that were largely donated from other local businesses. With an initial investment of $500 for the grand prizes of an HP Laserjet P1006 and HP Officejet Pro L7590 printer, and with the help of exposure through The News, the business acquired 179 new customers and increased sales from an average of 28 customers a day to 40 customers a day.
