Hauppauge, NY – December 2012 – Tis’ the season to give!  In keeping with the holiday tradition and supporting the company’s culture, eyewear industry leader ClearVision Optical designed and distributed its annual holiday ornament – a cookie cutter in the shape of eyeglasses.  This year’s ornament, which is the first to have dual purpose, is hand-delivered to all customers by their dedicated ClearVision sales representative and included in orders processed during the first half of December 2012.  The cookie cutter holiday ornament is a thank you gift from ClearVision to its customers for their continued partnership and support, coupled with reinforcing ClearVision’s commitment to its customers and showcasing the company’s creative spirit.

The cookie cutter holiday ornament was designed with ClearVision’s corporate responsibility mission in mind: to make each day better for someone else.  As a result, the 2012 Cookie Exchange contest has launched exclusively for ClearVision customers encouraging them to have fun with the cookie cutter holiday ornament and to share images of their creations by posting pictures on ClearVision’s Facebook page. The contest, which runs now through January 1, 2013 and awards a winner with a BCBGMAXAZRIA handbag, has already garnered interest and transformed the cookie cutter holiday ornament into a hot item.  To date, ClearVision has received several requests from customers for the cookie cutter and are enjoying several sweet submissions which are displayed on ClearVision’s Facebook wall.  Cookies entered for 2012 Cookie Cutter Exchange contest will be judged on their creativeness, uniqueness, and the innovative recipes.

ClearVision’s Cookie Exchange contest is one of many social media programs that are rolled out through its social media pages, encouraging customers and optical enthusiasts to engage in the social media phenomenon.  ClearVision has adopted the integrated approach to communicating with customers and sales reps, and urges all to share tips of the trade with the virtual world.
