2009award
US Commerce Association – Ashley Carter
As you can see we have won an award!!!! But, WAIT so did a million other people..haha
This has got to be one of the best deals going and here is how it works. They  send out a million emails to different businesses and claim they won the award. Then they tell them they can use the pictures and even get a press release to go with the award…So far so good…….
Now the good part For $79.99 I can get the award in a plaque…Or for $179.99 I can get the one in the picture and lastly for the package price of $199.00 I can get both….

Now it’s not worth trying to contact them and get some verification because all e-mails come back with a generic response. I asked them specifically “how do you determine who wins these awards” and their reply was this:

“I cannot go into the specifics of the data we use in our selection process. We have non-disclosure agreements with the companies that provide us the data. I’m sorry; I wish I could give you more details”

I think what they meant to say is:

“We scoured the net and run across any business we find and shoot them an email in hopes they will buy our plaque”

They also said:

“Notification to award winners in Fredericksburg will be made over the next several weeks. After all award recipients have been notified, we will post the complete list of winners on our website.”

Yet I look at their site https://www.us-ca.org/ and I see no mention of anybodys awards no only for my town but anywhere in the U.S. (My email was in August 2009)….

Needless to say I don’t think i’ll be “Buying” my Award this year….
