Design-A-Bag contest
There are two Fresh and Easy markets in Ontario. Good luck
Fresh & Easy Neighborhood Market today launched its Design-A-Bag Contest as part of an increased effort to encourage customers to use reusable bags. The company is inviting customers to submit their original bag designs through its website, www.freshandeasy.com/
Customers 18 years of age or older in Arizona, California and Nevada can submit a design. From the designs submitted, a panel of judges will select 10 semi-finalists based on originality and creativity. The winning bag design will be chosen exclusively by "friends of fresh&easy," customers who have signed up to receive the latest news about the company along with exclusive discounts at www.freshandeasy.com/friends. Semi-finalists will each receive a $100 Fresh & Easy gift card and the winning designer will win a year's worth of groceries.*
"We are actively trying to increase reusable bag usage in our stores through increased signage, bag giveaways and improving our current range," said Roberto Munoz, Fresh & Easy Director of Neighborhood Affairs. "We want to offer bags that people really want to use, so it made sense to enlist the creativity of our customers to help design them."
The bag contest is part of a broader initiative Fresh & Easy is rolling out to increase the use of reusable bags by customers. Last Wednesday, the company began a week-long bag giveaway in celebration of Earth Day. Customers can still receive a free canvas bag through April 22nd when they spend $20 or more. The special Earth Day coupon for the free reusable bag can be found on Fresh & Easy's Facebook fan pagewww.facebook.com/freshandeasy.




This is getting a bit more subjective, but I much prefer the Zune Marketplace. The interface is colorful, has more flair, and some cool features like 'Mixview' that let you quickly see related albums, songs, or other users related to what you're listening to. Clicking on one of those will center on that item, and another set of "neighbors" will come into view, allowing you to navigate around exploring by similar artists, songs, or users. Speaking of users, the Zune "Social" is also great fun, letting you find others with shared tastes and becoming friends with them. You then can listen to a playlist created based on an amalgamation of what all your friends are listening to, which is also enjoyable. Those concerned with privacy will be relieved to know you can prevent the public from seeing your personal listening habits if you so choose.
