Louis Rossi of Woodbridge wins 2017 Jeep Wrangler Sport S in Select Sweepstakes

TORONTO, SEPTEMBER 14, 2016 — Mr. Louis Rossi, founding owner of BMS Karate in Woodbridge, is all set to go off-roading after he was presented the keys today to a shiny new 2017 Jeep Wrangler Sport S as a vehicle winner in the Select Sweepstakes. The presentation took place this afternoon at Seven View Chrysler in Vaughan.

“We are super excited,” said Rossi. “My wife and I still can’t believe we’ve won. All we did was call our broker for an auto insurance quote for both cars and, just like that, we were entered into the Select Sweepstakes. We’d actually been looking for a new vehicle, maybe a 4×4, for my wife that would accommodate the children we are planning to have. The timing is perfect. We ended up signing with Economical Select for their group auto insurance that I qualified for as a business owner with the Canadian Professional Sales Association. We’re anxious to getting behind the wheel and go off-road to test it out.”

Rossi opened BMS Karate in 2009, following his passion that was ignited when he was 5. Between 120 and 130 students come through the doors to attend karate classes every day.

“When we got the call that one of our Canadian Professional Sales Association members had won a car, I was over the moon as this is the first year Cornerstone is participating in the Sweepstakes for our group insurance programs,” said Lynne Ray, Vice-President of Operations at Cornerstone Insurance Brokers in Woodbridge. “When Louis came to our office and we broke the news to him, he was in complete disbelief and kept asking us if we were kidding.  Frankly, I’m not sure who was more excited by the news – Louis or me.  We were able to save him money on his insurance and at the same time he wins a 2017 Jeep Wrangler Sport S. What a great story!”

The Select Sweepstakes campaign is run in partnership between Economical Select, one of Canada’s leading providers of group car and home insurance, and insurance brokers across Canada, offering eligible group members an opportunity to win great prizes^[1]. As a member of the Canadian Professional Sales Association, Mr. Rossi was eligible for exclusive group pricing in addition to being entered into the Select Sweepstakes.

“We’re so excited to award another vehicle in our annual Select Sweepstakes campaign. Besides receiving exclusive discounts on car and home insurance, group members are entered to win great prizes just for getting a quote,” explained Jeff Patterson, National Business Development Manager at Economical Select. “We’re pleased to work closely with our broker partners, providing marketing support and assisting in any way we can as the campaign increases sales throughout the year. But our favourite part of the contest, of course, is seeing the expressions on winners’ faces when they drive off in their new vehicles.”

The third annual Select Sweepstakes campaign for Economical group members is in full swing. The campaign features an exciting prize lineup, giving group members the chance to win one of six new vehicles and a $250 gas card.
