CARSTAR Auto Body Repair Experts announced the winners of its top marketing awards at its National Conference in Las Vegas. The awards recognize the franchisees and individuals who deliver the marketing programs with the most impact throughout the year. Awards were distributed by David James, vice president of marketing.
Steve Rigsby, marketing manager for the Colorado CARSTAR Business Group, was named Marketer of the Year for 2013. To be considered for the award, a marketer must have supported corporate marketing programs like ACE, Make-A-Wish and Military Month; worked in marketing for at least one year; and participated in community involvement and creative marketing solutions. Rigsby also won the award in 2011.
The Extraordinary Individual Contribution to the Make-A-Wish Foundation award went to Kurt Mueller of Kurt’s CARSTAR Collision Center in Marysville, Ill. The honor is presented to a store for its efforts to go above and beyond the normal call of duty to support the Make-A-Wish Foundation. Kurt’s CARSTAR Collision Center was chosen for its proactive approach to support the Make-A-Wish Foundation in its local market. The store also received the award in 2012.
The Extraordinary Group Contribution to the Make-A-Wish Foundation award went to the Puget Sound Business Group in the Seattle region. The group supports the Make-A-Wish Foundation with an annual golf tournament and other fundraising efforts.
“These stores are leaders in building and enhancing the CARSTAR brand locally and nationally, year after year,” said James. “Their delivery of unique, creative marketing programs has helped drive sales, increased market share and set the CARSTAR brand apart in their respective markets.”
