ADI Dealer Wins Mustang Shelby GT500
Rick Manzo, chief operating officer at Maffey’s Security Group in Elizabeth, NJ, has won a brand new Mustang Shelby GT500 from ADI. Manzo was the lucky recipient selected from over 6800 entry forms received last year through ADI’s customer appreciation sweepstakes.
For the past ten years, ADI has awarded a lucky dealer with a brand new car through its customer appreciation sweepstakes. Thousands of ADI customers complete entry forms each year at U.S. ADI Expos and industry tradeshows including ISC West, InfoComm, and CEDIA EXPO.
“At ADI, we understand how important our customers are to the success of our business and we are always looking for ways to demonstrate our appreciation,” said John Sullivan, senior vice president of sales at ADI. “Running this sweepstakes each year is just one of the many ways ADI thanks its customers. We are really excited for Rick, and pleased to provide him with this new car.”
Manzo has been a customer of ADI since he entered the security industry more than 15 years ago, and regularly visits ADI’s South Plainfield, NJ, branch. Manzo and his colleagues take advantage of the value added services ADI offers including systems sales and support, in branch trainings and events, and the Expo Training Series.
“I can’t believe it. This is great news,” said Manzo when he was notified that he won. “ADI has been great to us through the years, and have always provided us with the products and support we need. We look forward to working with them for more years to come.”
ADI offers events and activities throughout the year to express its gratitude to customers. ADI events include Expo training seminars, trade show events, branch customer appreciation days, vendor product demos, training classes and more.
In the spirit of providing its customers with MORE in 2012, ADI will be giving away two high performance vehicles. One lucky dealer will win two Chevy Camaros, and may enter to win by completing an entry form at their local ADI Expo, or visiting ADI’s booth at industry tradeshows including InfoComm and CEDIA EXPO.
