Women Win Mackinac Island Getaways in Pinterest Contest

The promotion was part of Ferndale-based Credit Union ONE's 75th anniversary celebration.

In an effort to provide exposure to their new Pinterest page and to continue the celebration of their 75th Anniversary, (Ferndale-based) Credit Union ONE held a contest July 15-26 asking members to pin photos of great relationships in their lives along with a caption of what 75 years means to them. 

Entries were judged and two very lucky winners Stacy Davis and Janna Smith each received a Grand Prize of a weekend all expenses paid trip to Mackinac Island, while two runners-up received $100 gift cards and another four earned $75 gift cards. 

Supporting the contest with Facebook posts, an email blast, and in-branch marketing efforts the credit union ended up with 429 pins and 58 individuals following them.
