People who are attending events and shopping locally in the community this summer will get used to seeing a new addition to the community.
Estevan Mercury Publications is pleased to introduce the Mercury Guy. He’ll be around town, telling people what’s happening and promoting all that Estevan has to offer.
“He’s going to be at events giving away prizes. He’s got gift cards to restaurants, and he has Alice Cooper tickets to give away, and he has other prizes we’re going to be giving away,” said Deanna Tarnes, the sales manager for Estevan Mercury Publications.
If there’s an event, people can enter through the draw box, or they can take a picture with him, and use the hashtag for the Mercury Guy to enter the contest.
“We’ll be giving away prizes weekly,” said Deanna.
He could also be found at businesses that are participating in the promotion. There will be stickers on the participating businesses with his face window so that people know it’s a business the Mercury Guy supports.
People can also look forward to seeing him in the Mercury, in Southeast Lifestyles and on social media.
“Make sure you’re always checking the Mercury to see what’s going on,” said Deanna.
Deanna said she hopes that when people see the Mercury guy, they’ll think of the Mercury first, and the fun things the Mercury is involved with.
“Wherever you see the Mercury guy this summer, there’s going to be a good time, a good deal, good advice and just a good event,” said Deanna.
Richard Sadick, the publisher for Estevan Mercury Publications, added that the Mercury guy will be associated with fun in the community.
"The Mercury Guy is the brainchild of our very creative, promotions and marketing sales team at the Mercury and I’m sure he will bring a lot of excitement to our town,” Richard said.
Advertisers and businesses in the community are excited for something new, different and exciting, and the Mercury is always flexible to work with the businesses to help them with their marketing, she said.
“We work with them to get their messages out, in the best platform there is,” said Deanna.
Whether it’s in print or online, the Mercury is the best way to reach the public and get local news.
