The German brand Tire announced on its official website the first winner to register for the win tire event. Gong Zheng, a car owner from Taicang, Jiangsu Province, was awarded four free tires by the German brand Tire. Two months ago, Mr. Gong registered a member on the German horse brand tire site to participate in the company's owner registration and win awards. He was fortunate to be the first car owner to receive a quarterly tire award. As the winner of the quarterly grand prize, Mr. Gong’s car logo 307 will be replaced with German horse brand CPC2 comfort limousine tires. “I once changed the tyres at the authorized German brand tire retailer and left a deep impression on the excellent product performance and excellent service he provided.†Mr. Gong said, “At that time, I registered on the website just to learn more about the product. With information on marketing activities, when I received a call for a winning announcement, I really could not believe that I was awarded a tire award. I could not wait to change my tires to experience a different kind of driving experience." In February 2009, the German brand tires launched a free registration win award event on its official website, aiming to enhance interaction with Chinese car owners and further promote more comfortable and safer personal driving concepts. So far, about one hundred registered users have received exquisite gifts from the company's tires, and the four-tire quarterly awards for registered models have attracted many consumers. “The German brand tire has been actively developing the retail network market since it entered China in 2007 and has achieved encouraging development. With the continuous improvement of the retail network, we will introduce more market activities to meet the needs of Chinese car owners.†Zhu Kunyong, Marketing Director of German Horse Brand Tire China, stated, “Our current registration and win awards will continue until December 2009. We hope that more Chinese owners can be as lucky as Mr. Gong and have the opportunity to experience the experience of German art. Comfortable and safe driving pleasure." In the past year, the retail network of horse tires in China has been expanding at a rate of one day. It recently announced its cooperation with ExxonMobil's retail network. It is believed that Chinese car owners will be able to enjoy the quality products and services brought by the largest original tyre supplier in Europe through more channels.
