Hauppauge, NY – January 2013 – ClearVision Optical, an eyewear industry leader, received over 100 entries from nearly 75 customers for its 2012 Cookie Cutter contest.  The social media holiday contest, which proved to be the most successful social contest launched by ClearVision to date, required customers to use the ClearVision Optical designed annual holiday ornament – a cookie cutter in the shape of eyeglasses – and share images of their creations on the ClearVision Facebook page.  The 2012 ornament, which was the first to have dual purpose, offered customers more than just an opportunity to engage with ClearVision socially, as it also supplied them with a fun activity to complete during the holidays with colleagues, family, and friends alike.   

“ClearVision’s Cookie Cutter exchange was more than just a social media contest” said David Friedfeld, President of ClearVision Optical.  “It reflected everything that ClearVision stands for:  promoting family time, company culture, our mission, and our creativity.   I received a bevy of phone calls from customers sharing their positive feedback about this program and how it impacted them in a positive way.  In my eyes, the Cookie Cutter exchange exceeded expectations in more ways than one.”

In addition to receiving cookie entries that included everything from rimless optical to polarized suns to 3D cookie glasses to breast cancer awareness themed frames to gluten free specs, ClearVision also received a tremendous  amount of feedback from customers on its Facebook page regarding this contest.  Following is a just a small collection of the kind words ClearVision has enjoyed. 

·         “I want you to know that these cookies became a family affair that resulted in some precious memories. My 6 year old daughter decorated some of the cookies and my husband even helped! Thank you for the idea, it was fun!”  Brooke Buckley of Texas State Optical in Port Arthur, Texas

·         "What a nice idea this was. We plan on making more to share with our patients this week! :o)" Columbia City Optometry 

·         Laura Rosanova Philipp said "Thank you ClearVision Optical for the cookie cutter! My sister, boys and I had fun decorating our glasses! Happy Holidays!!"

The contest, which ran through January 1, 2013, served up one grand prize winner, who will be awarded a BCBGMAXAZRIA handbag, and four runner ups.  Cookies entered for the 2012 Cookie Cutter Exchange contest were judged on their creativeness, uniqueness, and overall presentation.  Following are the winners accompanied by their delectable treats.  For a complete look of the cookies submitted for the Cookie Exchange visit ClearVision’sFacebook page.
