A unique sweepstakes drives sales and rewards lucky customers for their purchases.

Hunt Brothers Pizza’s first sweepstakes in partnership with Exmark was a huge success.

By connecting purchases to contest entries, Hunt Brother’s Pizza was able to drive sales while offering a unique experience to customers. At the conclusion of the sweepstakes, Hunt Brothers Pizza and Exmark have awarded $36,000 in lawn care prizes to lucky participants. After this great success it is expected that more opportunities like this will be offered to partners and fans in the future.

Hunt Brothers Pizza announced on  June 24, the six winners of brand new professional-grade Exmark mowers from the inaugural “Mow Like A Pro” sweepstakes. Wayne Sparks of Cusseta, Ga., is the grand prize winner of the 2015 Exmark Lazer Z X-Series Riding Mower valued at $12,000.

“I couldn’t be more excited! Owning my own landscape business means I need quality mowers that I can rely on, so winning one of the top mowers on the market is a blessing,” said Sparks. “It’s great to finally have a new mower after wanting one for a very long time. Not only do I have the equipment I need to start cutting more grass, I can do it in style!”
