Offer Makes Upgrading to New, Top Quality Tennis Gear Easier, More Affordable Eight-Time Grand Slam Doubles Champions, The Bryan Brothers, Calls Offer a "No-Brainer"
Bordentown, NJ, April 29, 2010 - Prince, a leader in performance tennis equipment, is set to launch a U.S.-based consumer promotion designed to help tennis players around the country take to the courts this season with the sport’s newest racquets and latest footwear.
Prince Sports recently signed an exclusive agreement with Ohana, the pioneering company that is transforming the rebate and reward industry with their new business model where “Everybody Wins!” to operate and manage the company’s incentive programs.
“We are thrilled to begin a relationship with Prince Sports in delivering outstanding value and rewards to Prince’s customers” said Alex Giacco, Ohana’s President. Through this agreement, Ohana can continue to bring Prince and their customers even more opportunities where Everybody Wins!”
For those who do not want the money, they can swap either card for three or six sets of the highly-rated Prince Premier LT 16 gauge string depending on their qualifying purchase.
“Tennis participation in the United States continues to grow with more people taking up the sport for the first time or getting back on the court. We have recently brought to market some of the sport’s highest quality products including new racquet models featuring the acclaimed and visible EXO3 technology and some of the sport’s most popular footwear,” said John Embree, President of Prince Americas. “This offer is designed to help any player, regardless of skill level, thinking about investing in their game or making the decision to upgrade their equipment, easier and more affordable.”
Consumers simply walk into, or log onto, any authorized Prince product dealer, make their purchase and retain their original, itemized receipt/proof of purchase from the retailer along with the product UPC barcodes found on their new product. They then log onto www.princetennis.com/springintoaction to obtain instructions on how to download, and where to mail in, the official rebate form.
“I think this is a great idea from Prince. The offer allows players to get out on the court with incredible, new equipment engineered to help them play better, win more matches, and have more fun - while easing the strain on their wallet – and that’s very cool,” said Prince sponsored athlete, Bob Bryan, one half of the eight-time Grand Slam doubles duo Bryan Brothers. "This is the same equipment so many of us use on Tour and for those ready to raise their level of play, this offer makes the decision a ‘no-brainer’. It’s exciting to get new gear. We picked up the new Prince EXO3 Ignite Team 95 at the end of last year and love it," added brother, Mike Bryan.
The program will be supported both in-store and on-line through various advertising and promotional pieces designed to notify consumers. In addition, Prince has designed a promotional website, located at www.princetennis.com/springintoaction, which will inform consumers about the program and process to redeem. Consumers can access this site directly or simply visit the U.S. version of www.princetennis.com starting May 1, 2010.
