2011 Customer Service "Online" Challenge

Do you think that businesses in the Rainy River District offer great customer service? If yes, then now is the time to say so...

RRFDC is once again holding the annual Customer Service Challenge, but we are changing things up a bit this year.  This year's challenge is going to be a little different with an online voting system that will allow you, the customers of the Rainy River District, the chance to say who deserves to be in the Top 10 based on great customer service.

Here are the details:

Starting May 3rd until May 13th, the voting will be open and you, the customer will have one chance to vote for your choice of the top 3 businesses offering the best customer service. To make your vote valid, you must briefly express why you felt the business(s) earned your vote for great customer service. Voting will close at 4:00 p.m. on May 13th, 2011.

Once the voting has been completed, RRFDC will then determine from the online results, this year's Top Ten Champions, which will be announced later in May at the Fort Frances Chamber of Commerce's Annual Deck Party.
