Launch’s BERNINA Swiss Auction Promotion Wins Silver Globe Award

Swiss Auction Plus Globes

When Launch created the “Swiss Auction” promotion for BERNINA, we knew we had come up with something unique and different that would drive traffic to dealers and help them sell BERNINA sewing machines.  We just didn’t know that our industry peers would agree that it was a pretty special program.

Then in March of this year the program was awarded a Gold REGGIE.  We thought that was pretty impressive, since we were competing with the best promotions in America.  Now the Swiss Auction has been awarded a Silver Globe, an even more impressive feat, given the Globes are a worldwide competition between top award winners from 28 countries.  With a panel of 140 judges from 22 countries, the Globes winners truly represent the best of the best.  A total of 48 awards are given out, three in each of 16 categories, and in this year’s competition, the Swiss Auction was one of only five winners from the U.S.
