May 2014 Hot Button Winner
Congrats to our
May 2014 Hot Button of the Month Winner!
May's Hot Button of the Month Contest Winner is... Michael Schafer from Ottumwa, IA.. Michael created this "Make Ottumwa Shine" button to help promote a week dedicated to cleaning up the city.
"Every year our small town has a week dedicated to cleaning up empty lots, ditches, etc," said Michael. "This year I made a few buttons asking people 'will you help' and handed them out to co-workers at the Landfill, Recycling Center and the Health Department to help get the word out."
Michael ended up selling buttons to the Health Department, who distributed them to others to pass the word along. He said, "Sometimes the easiest way to get people to order is to make a few free samples...it's easy and cheap to makes lots of free samples!"
As the Hot Button of the Month winner, Michael received a $100 Badge-A-Minit gift certificate.
