VISIONWEB BRINGS BACK MONEY MADNESS SWEEPSTAKES FOR SUMMER 2010

For the Second Time This Year, VisionWeb Customers are Eligible to Win Thousands of Dollars in Cash and Supplier Credit for Ordering Online

Austin, TX – June 4, 2010 – VisionWeb, the premier provider of technology services to the optical industry, announced today the return of its online ordering promotion for eyecare providers, VisionWeb’s Money Madness Sweepstakes. The Sweepstakes, initially introduced in 2009, and now in its third installment,  rewards practices for placing more of their ophthalmic product orders via the VisionWeb network (VisionWeb portal site or an integrated practice management system), and encourages one-stop shopping to over 400 suppliers on the VisionWeb network.

The second installment of VisionWeb’s Money Madness Sweepstakes, which took place earlier this year, drew an increased number of participating practices, with more of those practices meeting their order goals on a weekly basis. Additionally, 52% of the enrolled practices were first-time participants. This demonstrates that the program is helping to increase awareness of the benefits associated with portal ordering, and that it influences eyecare providers to adopt this method of ordering in their practices. VisionWeb is excited to continue to encourage eyecare providers to utilize online ordering to make their day-to-day processes more efficient with this third installment of the Sweepstakes.

This installment of the Sweepstakes will run from June 27 – August 21, 2010, and is open to all eyecare providers who are VisionWeb members. Participating accounts earn entries into weekly and grand prize drawings for meeting an assigned weekly order goal; and can earn additional entries by ordering to multiple supplier types (spectacle lenses, contact lenses, and frames). Drawing entries are cumulative throughout the program, meaning the more entries the account receives, the more chances they have to win.

Prizes are awarded in eight weekly drawings throughout the Sweepstakes period, and two grand prize drawings at the conclusion of the Sweepstakes. Weekly prizes include $250 cash and $250 credit with the VisionWeb supplier of the winner’s choice (a $500 value). The grand prize includes $1,250 each cash and supplier credit (a $2,500 value), and the first runner-up prize includes $500 each cash and supplier credit (a $1,000 value). The cash portion of the prize serves as an individual reward for the practice to spend at their will and is paid in the form of AMERICAN EXPRESS® Gift Cards. The supplier credit portion of the prize serves as an investment in the practice’s future business with their supplier(s) over VisionWeb.
