Coca Cola Beverage Company (Micronesia) Inc. and Price Costco have announced the winner of their joint “Drink Coca-Cola and win a $500 shopping spree from Price Costco” promotion.
Liu Zhe Yuan, 36, who works at the Marianas Garment Manufacturing Co. in San Antonio, was handed the $500 certificate by Kathryn Barry, sales and marketing director of CCBC (Micronesia), Inc. and James G. Sablan, Price Costco receiving manager.
Liu submitted one entry after buying a case of Coca-Cola from the store. “I only submitted one. I have never won in promotions like this,” he said.
The month-long promotion started March 3, 2006. Every case purchase of any Coca-Cola family product entitled the consumer to a free raffle coupon which they could enter to win a $500 worth of groceries from Price Costco.
The drawing was held April 7th and Liu was surprised when he received a call from Barry, informing him that he had won the $500 shopping spree.
“I’m happy that Coca-Cola and Price Costco had this promotion,” he added. “I still have not made up my mind on how to spend the money. I will buy something for my friends so we can have a party,”
“This is the part of my job I love. I could tell Mr. Liu was surprised he had won. It’s fun to see our consumers get excited about winning,” Barry said.
Sablan, said the promotion was “perfectly timed, We’re very proud to have been part of this promo with Coca-Cola. In economic times like this, every little thing helps,” he said.
He added that Liu can spend the $500 gift certificate at Price Costco “where we have quality products and great value.” (PR)
