TORONTO,
Dec. 5, 2013 /PRNewswire/ - Ting, a
division of Tucows Inc. (NYSE MKT:TCX, TSX:TC), announced today
that they will buy a hot, freshly brewed cup of coffee for each of
the 200 million AT&T and Verizon wireless customers in
the United States. To earn their
cup of joe, AT&T and Verizon customers simply need to check out
how much they would save by switching to the upstart mobile service
provider.
For one week, through December
11, the overbilled and undercaffinated can visit
ting.com/coffee to participate. Participants will be asked
to enter their AT&T or Verizon wireless User ID and password to
automatically calculate their potential savings over two years
based on actual recent usage and bills. At the same time, they will
be provided a unique promo code worth $5 at any Starbucks location.
The account credentials will be discarded immediately after the
calculation is performed.
"I may have just spent my marketing budget for the next three
years on free coffee," admitted Michael
Goldstein, Ting VP of Marketing. "But people are shocked
when they see how much they would save by switching to Ting. I
think it's worth the investment to get those numbers in front of
them."
Ting also wants to make sure their current customers get in on
the fun. So they are inviting all their customers to take a friend
out for a coffee (or maybe a muffin) and tell them how great Ting
is. Customers will then upload their receipt to get up to
$10 credited to their Ting
account.
