OnSaturday, February 20 from 7 a.m. - 7 p.m.the international leader in workplace assessments, TTI Performance Systems (TTI), will be donating their time and energy to a noteworthy cause, Habitat for Humanity.

 
"While the company donates over one million dollars in services and assessments every year, we feel that giving back to the community in other ways is just as important," said TTI President Ashley Bowers. Over 30 TTI employees and their friends and family will be working throughout the day to ensure a family in need gets the home that they deserve.


Aside from their community efforts, TTI also holds high standards when it comes to the environment. After having each employee count the number of light bulbs in their own home, Bonnstetter bought over 100 boxes of bulbs for the entire TTI building and for each staff members' home. This will prevent 400 pounds of greenhouse gas emissions over each light bulb's lifetime.

Prime 3's Kendra Schultz is quoted in an article on Guerilla Marketing Tips from PR Pros!

"
One huge marketing tactic that attains a lot of followers on Twitter or fans on Facebook, are giveaways. Whether it's for a free cupcake, free web-hosting for a year, free Mac book (or whatever product/service your company provides), creating a contest where fans/followers must tweet about your company in order for a chance to win something free not only expands your brand awareness via hundreds-thousands of people's Twitter or Facebook accounts to their fans/followers, but it also keeps these followers listening to what you have to say moving forward." --Kendra Schultz, Prime 3
