View Full Version : Win BIG if you can identify that new customer!

Tomorrow morning we ship a case of product to our newest wholesale account and I thought it might be fun to see if anyone can guess who it is. The winner gets a nice bottle of Captain’s Choice all to themselves!
http://i.imgur.com/7ESV0l.jpg
Narrowing it down:
A starting point might be to eliminate the accounts who already buy from us. (This is readily available here on past posts - feel at liberty to list them if it helps.) This new customer could be on-line only or brick and mortar only or both.
Another hint: We are in Illinois and this is out of state but it is in the United States. I will say this, it is not some obscure gift shop in Fargo. It is likely there is a general awareness of this company here on B&B.
Here are the rules:
1. You only get one guess but you can change your guess right up until The Unveiling. You are at liberty to ponder in your post who you may be considering but when you guess then clearly declare who your guess is.
2. If more than one person guesses the correct answer then a random drawing will pick the winner. Those not picked who also chose the correct answer will each receive one free sample vial.
3. The answer will not be revealed until my customer receives their shipment. This should be about March 8. And yes if you have been putting off buying Captain’s Choice, it would be most excellent if you were to buy from them following the unveiling.
4. Who can play? You must reside in either Canada or USA due to shipping restrictions to win. I would love to see some MODERATORS join in here. You guys all knock yourselves out on our behalf - time for a chance at some payback I say!
5. I will list the winner(s) in about a week and it will be up to the winner(s) to PM me their email address for their free prize!
Above all else, have fun with it!!

Guys:
For the sake of clarity (and this does narrow it a bit) I have edited the OP to read that this new customer is in the United States. So if you have guessed Fendrihan or Italian Barber, your chances just improved if you take another guess. Sorry, I didn’t think to have that in the post initially.
A NEW ADDITION:
If you are a Veteran or Active Duty - you get to guess TWICE! My way of saluting the Armed Forces out there on our behalf.

Oh that's funny-I JUST went to Pasteur's during my lunch and picked a bottle of CC up after trying the tester-didn't realize it was a new product there. Was the only item I bought today-which is a minor accomplishment if you're familiar with Pasteur's! Great product!!! looking forward to using it during the warmer months post "lime" shave.
PS I voted Bullgoose. Congrats to winner!
