Goodbye Bridge – Hello Wii Bowling! Quintain Marketing Helps Erickson Retirement Communities Bowl a Strike
Annapolis, MD June 27, 2007 -
Erickson Retirement Communities selected Quintain Marketing to provide bowling shirts and trophies for its first national Wii Bowling Competition. “For the past nine months, Erickson’s campuses have been overtaken by the Wii Wave. Our residents have been enthusiastically playing Wii bowling, tennis, golf, and baseball,” said Mel Tansill, Senior Director of Public Affairs for Erickson.” Most of our residents had never before picked up a video game controller in their lives, but they now have found a love for Wii Sports.” Four teams competed in this fiery match-up of grannies and grand-dads, but only one came out victorious.
