HID launches 'Customers Comes 1st' program

Friday, September 18, 2009

HID Global announced the upcoming launch of “Customers Come 1st” promotion during the ASIS Internation Conference, Sept. 21 – 23, at the Anaheim Convention Center in Anaheim, Calif.

The promotion is designed to rally HID customers to submit their ideas for new products, features and services they would like to see in security identity solutions. Winning submissions gathered through the promotion will be featured in HID Global’s “I Want” advertising campaign that highlights the voice of HID customers, what they would like to see in secure identity solutions and HID’s response to their request.


Customers can participate in the “Customers Come 1st” promotion by visiting HID Global booth #2919 at ASIS and submitting their ideas for new secure identity features and solutions. Either written or video format submissions are accepted at the booth and all submissions will be uploaded to hidglobal.com where Web site visitors will cast their votes. The customer entries with the most votes will be featured in the company’s next wave of the “I Want” advertising campaign in 2010.

To encourage early submissions, the first 250 customers to visit the HID Global booth and submit their ideas will receive a free HID Global “I Want” T-shirt. If spotted wearing the “I Want” during the first day of ASIS 2009 (September 21), customers are entered into a random drawing to win a pair of VIP box seat tickets to the Los Angeles Angels vs. New York Yankees games Sept. 21 and 22. [end]
