Hughes and Newmarket Racecourses - A Winning Connection
Sound, Vision and Kitchen Appliance retailer, Hughes and Newmarket Racecourses have joined forces to give their customers the chance to not only enjoy a great day’s racing but also be in with a chance of winning a fabulous flat screen HD-ready TV every day of the thirty-eight day, 2008 season.
Hughes who moved into Newmarket in October last year when they opened a flagship store on the site of the old Palmers Department store, have been in business for over 85 years and are proud to be a family business with a customer focused vision, borne out by their motto “inspiring customer loyalty through quality service”.
Hughes’ Marketing Director, Bob Saucier said “It is our intention to develop a strong relationship locally and become part of the community and acknowledge the fantastic welcome to the town that the people of Newmarket have given us. To support this, we approached the racecourse, as a key player here, to see how we might work together to achieve this. We came up with the idea of awarding a prize of a flat screen TV at each of Newmarket’s 38 race days through the 2008 season with a total prize value of over £22,000. The prizes will be targeted at various customer groups covering general racegoers in all enclosures, stable hands, Newmarket Nights’ racegoers, advance ticket bookers and annual badge holders etc. There will be plenty of opportunities to win through the season. In addition, Hughes’ customers will further benefit from the association with a reduced price race ticket offer. Details of the offer will be available in all 34 of the Hughes stores across the region.”
Racecourse Marketing Manager Gaynor Haxby said “We are delighted to be involved with this exciting initiative and look forward to welcoming Hughes’ customers to the racecourse during the season”.
