Santa?s Partnership with Answering Service Makes Young Girl?s Dream Come True

Wilmington, DE (PRWEB) December 30, 2011

Appletree?s campaign as Santa?s Answering Service turned dreams into reality this holiday season. In addition to answering calls for their customers, Appletree employees were delighted to take on the extra responsibility of answering calls as Santa?s elves. Appletree customer experience experts answered over 22,000 calls for Santa?s Answering Service this year, a 1200% increase from its inaugural campaign in 2010.


The campaign?s main goal was to provide children with a positive call experience for the holiday season as they were asked to leave their top three wish list items with Santa?s elves. Santa?s Answering Service surpassed Appletree?s expectations on many occasions. One call on December 14th from a little girl who asked for a few gifts and a very touching message to send to Santa stood out among most.


The elementary aged girl sparked a domino effect of Christmas joy throughout many lives on that Wednesday afternoon. After Jessica the elf promised the young girl that her message would make it to Santa, she did everything in her power to truly keep her promise.


?This is my idea of what Christmas really is. The selflessness and kindness in her heart really touched mine. I had to do something. I expected a donation to be given, but the holiday cheer within the company went above and beyond,? Jessica the elf explained.


Through the thousands of wish lists that were given to Santa?s elves, Jackie?s wish for her friend battling cancer to have a special Christmas displayed the true meaning of Christmas.


Santa?s Answering Service began as a simple campaign to give children a fun experience to get into the holiday spirit and has grown to be much more than just a campaign. Santa?s Answering Service has proved that dreams can come true.

web2zone® Makes History By Hosting Female Video Game Tournament

New York, NY (PRWEB) February 4, 2005

web2zone, the nation?s leading retail Cyber Center, announced today it successfully hosted North America?s first-ever competitive female video game tournament on Saturday, January 29, 2005 at its New York City venue.


Sponsored by Intel and Plantronics, the competition attracted the best female video game teams from as far away as Texas, California and Canada with cash and prizes. Each team consisted of five players.


In addition to the all-female tournament, a male tournament was also hosted simultaneously. The winner of the female tournament then played the winner of the male tournament in a ?Battle of the Sexes? Exhibition Match for additional cash and bragging rights. The tournament matches were played using the PC-based Half-Life® Counter-Strike? game from Valve Software.


?We are making history here at web2zone,? says Ed Tomasi, web2zone?s Director of Marketing. ?Competitive video game events have been a male-dominated activity for quite some time. By hosting this female-only event, web2zone has paved the way for other organizations here in the United States to offer women the same competitive opportunities.?


A live television interview was broadcasted on WCBS-TV (New York) to over 200,000 viewers. The video can be downloaded at:
