PODS Houston celebrates two millionth container delivery with customer appreciation and $10,000 sweepstakes
August 11, 2012
(HOUSTON) – After 14 years in business, PODS® moving and storage celebrated its two millionth container delivery recently by providing one year of free storage and a free move to the recipient who resided in Valrico, Fla. As part of their continued celebration, PODS has launched a $10,000 Home Renovation sweepstakes to celebrate this important milestone in the history of the company and the industry. In 1998, PODS revolutionized the landscape of the moving and storage industry with its signature white portable PODScontainers, which changed the way people would move and store forever.
“The PODS solution provided a new, more convenient and flexible way to move and store,” said George Spowart, chief marketing officer of PODS. “Residential and commercial customers no longer were at the mercy of daily truck rental fees or multiple handlings of possessions by full-service movers. This new way of moving and storing revolutionized an industry.”
Phil Dvorak, PODS Houston managing partner, saw how PODS has revolutionized the industry.
“To reach two million deliveries is a remarkable milestone,” Dvorak said. “We plan to quickly march towards the three millionth mark by providing the best moving and storage options to our customers!”
The $10,000 sweepstakes ends on Oct. 15, 2012. For more information, visit Facebook.com/PODS.
