Blue Marble Geographics Rewards Customers with Gift Certificates in Honor of Ten-Year Anniversary!

Blue Marble Geographics (www.bluemarblegeo.com) announced today that they have awarded $50 gift certificates to LL Bean to five of their customers as a way to celebrate ten years in business. Customer recognition has always been an important focus through the years, and Blue Marble wanted to celebrate by thanking users of their software.

Five customers who purchased a Blue Marble product during the month of August 2003 were picked at random to win $50 gift certificates. Winners hail from around the world reflecting the diverse and global population of Blue Marble users. Recipients include Ajay Jacob from Genesys International Corporation in Bangelore, India, Dan Pease from Tulsa, Oklahoma, Mick Small from Wintershall AG in Fremantle, Australia, a GIS Analyst from a large oil company in California, and Rick Burgess (the only BeyondGeo user to win) in Punta Gorda, Florida. Rick chose to donate his winnings to the St. Cloud High School Wrestling Club in St. Cloud Florida.
