Holiday greeting card from New Belgium

[blacksheep]

Back in July my wife was a lucky winner of a 2009 New Belgium Schwinn cruiser through their online daily bike giveaway. New Belgium not only gave her the bike(shipped free) but also gave her a $50 gift certificate to use at a Schwinn dealer of our choice. Life goes on as usual.

Last week my wife gets a Christmas card in the mail from New Belgium. Not some pre-printed "Happy Holidays" but an actual hand-written card. Maybe it's not that big a deal, but I don't know how many companies would go out of their way to do this. We thought it was pretty cool. Anyway, here's the bike and the card. 8)

Sweet!
Loving that bike, i would love to win something like that...

Never got a handwritten response from companies.
I Called Frito-Lays about their black pepper jack doritos(Seriously the best flavor out there)
and asked when they were going to discontinue them again.

I ended up getting some coupons in the mail, along with one of those typed out business letters.

I waited years for those chips to come back...and theyre allready gone again

waited since the 8th grade!
THE 8TH GRADE!!!

Re: We thought this was pretty cool

I agree... that is VERY cool. They are such a first class company. It's only a shame that I still can't get my favorite beer, Fat Tire, in my area. I'm having to make a monthly road trip south across the border into North Carolina to pick up all the double dueces I can find! Hopefully soon. Nice bike by the way! As Napoleon would say, ... "LUCKY"!

Thanks for the replies, guys.

That's just good business right there. They sound like a class operation.

For a while, I was on first hand emails with the CEO of the Shmaltz Brewing Company (He'brew Ale lol) in New York. The guy was really nice, and I was impressed he took the time to communicate with me.
